Learn More About My Career in the HVAC Industry

I often get questions from my readers or followers about who I am exactly and what I am doing, how it is that I found myself right front and center of the HVAC-R and refrigerant industry. 

When I get such questions, I usually respond by starting with something along the lines of this, “Well, it’s complicated.” 

That’s because it is.

Responding to the common question of “What do you do, Elizabeth?”

You see, there isn’t one definitive answer to the question of what it is that I do. Why? Because I do not want to say I am a marketer. Because let’s face it: Marketing, particularly in the HVAC-R industry, has a bad rep.

So, the last thing I want to do is answer… marketing. Or, HVAC marketing specialist. I consider myself someone who has a deep expertise in HVAC-R and refrigerant compliance trends which has enabled me to perform marketing exceedingly well.

To put it another way, I fell into marketing, and marketing fell into me. It’s the best of both worlds, really.

Nonetheless, that does not mean I want to categorize myself solely as a marketer. My past and current work encompasses more than just the usual marketing.

To respond to the question, “What do you do, Elizabeth?” with “Oh, marketing” would be a gross understatement. Worse, a false characterization, an oversimplification of my expertise

But, for lack of better words, I am an HVAC marketing consultant.

And, it’s a funny story of how I got here.

How I became an HVAC marketing specialist and propelled a brand into the industry spotlight

You see, when I first started my career, I wouldn’t have ever considered being a marketer, let alone an HVAC marketing specialist. The thought of marketing, and me specifically doing marketing work, made me, well, cringe.

Besides, I began as a policy person. I majored in Political Science at Vanderbilt. Worked on Capitol Hill for a bit. (Yuck! Story for another time) Me in Marketing? I would have laughed at the thought.

Then one day I found myself not only doing marketing, but doing it very well, and then managing it. I conceptualized and developed an innovative, robust, and original inbound marketing program from the ground up. 

Slowly but surely, I became really good at marketing, specifically at marketing in HVAC B2B. Attracting and converting prospects 

And thus an HVAC marketing consultant was born. It has led me to people and places and experiences that have enabled me to the learn the ins and outs of the HVAC B2B industry, and for that I am forever grateful. For instance, I have been featured in EM magazine, Retail and Restaurant Facility Business, ISHN, and Humans of HVAC.

Because I have the first-hand experience activating sales enablement, building a brand community, and creating a lead generation machine for HVAC brands from the ground up, I know the necessary strategies and tactics it takes to get your HVAC digital marketing to the level you want it to go.

I am the HVAC marketing consultant you and your team have been looking for.
