Jared Dean isn't winging it — he's a master HVAC sales tactician. With over two decades in the industry, Jared has developed a precise, proven process that earns trust, overcomes objections, and closes premium HVAC systems at a staggering $25K average ticket with a 64% closing percentage.  Jared works just three days a week in the field, serves full-time as a pastor, and still sold $3.5 million last year. In this conversation, he opens up his playbook — step by step.  What you'll walk away with: The first 10 minutes that make or break the sale — Jared's subtle script to uncover decision-makers and secure time commitment without pressure. How to “price-condition” like a pro — Set the stage for high-ticket HVAC sales without triggering objections. The four-option close that boosts average ticket and drives confident, fast decisions. How storytelling + strategic vulnerability generate instant trust (and eliminate hard closing). What to say after they say “yes” — Jared's post-sale move that slashes cancellation rates. The 5-minute habit that separates amateurs from elite sales pros — and accelerates long-term mastery.  Jared proves you don't need to work 60-hour weeks or be a natural-born closer to dominate in residential HVAC sales — you need a system, heart, and the discipline to follow through.  Show Notes The Successful Contractor Podcast is a part of the CertainPath family.  CertainPath builds successful home service businesses—and has for 25 years.  We do it by providing contractors with a proven path to success, professional coaching, software solutions, and a member community of 1,200+ strong.
