Teresa sells work trucks and vans to the HVAC companies, landscapers, plumbers and contractors running five to fifty vehicles. She is building a small network of the local businesses that know a contractor is about to add trucks before the owner starts shopping — one per category, no competitors, and no second of anything. Six have already accepted. If one of the open categories below is yours, the seat is available now and it will not be split.
You already know this. Look at your last ten good commercial accounts and count how many arrived because someone they trusted said your name, rather than because of anything you paid for. For most businesses that sell to contractors it is nearly all of them.
A contractor does not buy trucks on a whim. Something happens first. They win a big contract. They hire a crew. Their banker approves an expansion line. Their accountant tells them a year-end equipment purchase makes sense. The supply house counter hears about the new crew on Monday. The people standing at each of those moments know a fleet purchase is coming before the owner calls a single dealer. And it runs both ways: every truck Teresa sells needs insurance, financing, upfitting and lettering — business she sends straight back to the network.
What a network does is make it deliberate. Instead of hoping the right person remembers you at the right moment, a handful of businesses who already serve the same contractors have a standing reason to think of you — and forty-five minutes a month where that actually gets acted on rather than intended.
Every business here was invited personally by Teresa because she already works with them and would put her own name behind them. That is the only way in — there is no application.
Businesses are listed with their permission. A member who prefers not to be named shows only their category.
A referral group that meets and then forgets about each other produces nothing. Privaire runs the month between meetings — prompting where a fit exists, tracking every introduction made and received, and reporting what came of it. You will always be able to see what this seat has produced for you, which is the only honest basis for keeping it.
The seat is exclusive for as long as you hold it. No second insurance agent or upfitter is admitted to Teresa’s network, at any price — and no other salesperson at Harrowgate Motors can invite a business that already sits in hers.
The seat costs you nothing. Harrowgate Motors carries the cost of the network, and you come in as Teresa’s guest — what is asked of you instead is participation: 45 minutes once a month, one specific situation brought to the table, and a note of what you receive. Shoutback will walk you through it and answer anything — Teresa is not the one selling this, and she does not receive any part of it.
Not the right fit? Tell us and we will close it out with Teresa so there is nothing awkward. If you know somebody who should hold this seat instead, that is genuinely useful — say so.
