I really get sleepy of the constant upsell.
It just wears me down to have a salesperson always haggle me to spend yet more money with their business.
Realizing that all businesses are in business to make money, I still hate the add on stuff. I just got off the iPhone with my HVAC business. They called to confirm an HVAC repair appointment. However, as they do each time, the guy wanted me to join the repair program. This would include 2 repair visits per year as well as additional price incentives. I declined once again. And I guess I declined out of habit because I hate being upsold so much. HVAC repair is something that I have always been a little bit hit as well as miss on. Usually, the HVAC gets ran tests on once a year. But, there are absolutely times where I have missed a year. This got me to thinking so I did some quick online research. I wondered what the real value of HVAC repair is. Well, I got some really interesting data on that really subject. I noted instantly that of all HVAC repair calls, 85 percent of them would have been caught during routine seasonal repair. That is a fairly shocking statistic when you guess about it. There was also the interesting impact on the longevity of an HVAC device due to respected repair. Most current HVAC units have a life span of nearly 15 years or longer in some cases. However, those numbers are based on those HVAC units getting seasonal repair. HVAC units which did not receive respected repair ended up failing as well as average of 6 years earlier. That did it for me. I called the nice guy right back as well as signed us up for the seasonal repair program.
