Tripp Jordan from Sales Builder Pro shares his journey from insurance agent to top-performing HVAC comfort advisor (65% close rate over 4,500 calls) to sales trainer.

Mike Cappuccio Welcomes Benji Queen of Variable Comfort Solutions of Huntington, WV

Benji Queen of Variable Comfort Solutions brings a refreshingly different perspective to HVAC entrepreneurship. With an accounting degree and restaurant ownership experience, he entered the industry in 2019 with business acumen first, technical HVAC skills second. Benji reveals how proper business planning, standardized processes, and understanding true labor costs transformed his approach after attending Dominate Ductless training twice. He candidly discusses the technician-to-owner trap, why 70% of contractors don't know their real costs, and his counterintuitive hiring philosophy that prioritizes attitude over technical ability.
