The HVAC Relationship-Driven Profit Chain

Contractor University’s Cracking the Code Weekly Show.
Jan. 23, 2026
Are you building your business around brands and transactions or building foundational relationships that actually drive profit? If growth feels harder than it should, the problem may not be your pricing, products, or marketing. It might be as simple as how you’re partnering across your business.
 
In this week’s episode of Cracking the Code, Drew Cameron breaks down what partnering for profit really means in HVAC. He explores how profit flows through relationships with homeowners, team members, distributors, manufacturers, and referral partners—and why contractors who focus on people instead of logos build stronger, more resilient businesses. You’ll hear how becoming a trusted resource, choosing partners invested in your success, and helping others win creates both financial return and long-term loyalty.
 
All that and more on the latest episode of Cracking the Code. Streaming now, free for everyone, through January 29: MyContractorUniversity.com/CBS-Show.
