From the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, HARDI has worked to support distributor and supplier businesses by offering regular updates on federal loan programs, threats to supply chains, emerging sales best practices, and numerous other areas linked to wholesale distribution business operations. In continuation of that trend, HARDI has made the following resources available to help empower your team to help your contractor customers and help ensure their success and fortify demand for HVACR products.

How Contractors Can Control Their Numbers in a Crisis

HARDI has partnered with EGIA to offer a free training video, as well as budgeting and cash flow management tools, to customers of HARDI distributors. The video and embedded tools can be shared with all distributor customers but are likely to be most useful to contractors whose businesses have been severely impacted by shutdowns and the subsequent economic downturn. Visit www.egia.org/partners/HARDI to view the resources.

Voice of Contractor Series: Job Availability and Hiring Amidst COVID-19

HARDI CEO Talbot Gee sat down with Ryan Kohler, Hiring Guru at Hire Dimensions, to discuss the change in HVACR contractor job postings since COVID-19, new trends that are emerging for attracting talent, the need to post jobs now as lead generators for when you’re ready to hire, and how to create culture-oriented job ads.
