On this week’s Service Business Mastery Podcast, Tersh Blissett sits down with Dustin K. (Dustin Ketchem), Senior Manager of Sales Programs at LG HVAC Solutions USA.

• Building unitary systems in Alabama

• Going all-in on inverter-driven heat pumps that perform even in -45°F Alaska

• Supporting contractors with smart tools, training, and real-time tech - the same innovation LG will showcase live as Title Sponsor of TAP Into The Future, happening October 3-5 in Savannah, GA.
