Summary

Bo Rogers traces a lifetime in the trades—from learning HVAC as a teenager to leading contractor programs at Resideo. He shares the moment sales clicked after a Tempe bootcamp, how implementing a real process changed his business, and why he’s stayed 15 years post-Honeywell spinout. Then we dig into Connect 2025 (Oct 22–25, JW Marriott L.A. LIVE): separate HVAC general session and breakouts, the high-energy Innovation Showcase, new launches like Elite Pro powered by Pro IQ and a dehumidifier, plus a unified First Alert app experience for the smart/connected home. Bo explains why the event is free to attend (sponsors + Resideo pick up on-site costs) and how the real ROI comes from community, networking, and—above all—implementation.

Takeaways

  • Implementation beats information. Training only pays off when you put it to work in your pricing, sales steps, and follow-through.
  • Connect 2025 is built for HVAC. Dedicated general session, HVAC-specific breakouts, and a hands-on Innovation Showcase.
  • New Resideo launches. Elite Pro (powered by Pro IQ) and a dehumidifier debuting at Connect; distributors will have stock by showtime.
  • One-app smart home. The First Alert app aims to unify comfort, security, locks (Schlage/Yale), and Genie garage control.
  • Cost to attend. Registration is free; meals/events covered on-site. Attendees handle airfare and hotel.
