What does it take to sell over 20 million dollars in HVAC without feeling like a pushy salesperson or a slick closer?
Adrian catches up with Phil Filaski to unpack it.
Phil, a 20 million dollar salesman, unpacks how he consistently wins high-ticket air conditioning jobs while staying calm, honest, and in control of the process. He shows how he builds trust fast, uses simple paper-based tools, and makes finance work for homeowners so the decision feels easy instead of pressured.
This conversation gives you a sharper way to sell, serve, and get rewarded for the value you bring.
You’ll learn:
- The low-pressure sales process Phil uses to close 30K plus installs
- Why HVAC techs need to master the tools and systems before trying to sell bigger work
- How Phil thinks about success, sacrifice, and building a legacy that outlives the business
- How to ethically use current events and real-world context to create urgency
- Why three clear options on paper still outperform overcomplicated quoting
- How and why around 80 percent of his work is financed and what that means for closing rates
- How to keep your confidence high even when a big quote is on the line
