PRAXIS S-10 Maximum Yield Performance Technology
 

The only cognitive learning system in the industry developed from the ground up for the residential service industry. 

It's not training. It's science.

Training doesn't work. Our decades of experience in this industry tells us that. Your employees potentially have years and years of learned behavior that can be very difficult to change. That won’t happen overnight or with a single course. Cognitive learning uses a scientific, and proven, approach to help each of your employees overcome customer satisfaction destroying behavior and replace it with good behavior. This same learning system is also used to teach new skills. Maximum Yield Performance Technology utilizes a series of ongoing virtual and live classroom programs coupled with continuous personalized one-on-one mentoring to help each of your employees respond or react correctly to various data. Each program is custom designed for every employee. We don’t use cookie-cutter solutions because every one of your employees will respond or react differently to their environment. Learn and discover at a different pace. The founders of PRAXIS S-10 have invested millions of dollars into perfecting our proprietary cognitive learning systems.

Specialized marketing programs, events, and systems to locate, hire, and develop the world’s greatest HVAC technicians.

It’s one of the top questions we get asked. “How can I find and hire great technicians?” Jimmy Hiller asked that same question many years ago when he found it increasingly difficult to hire well trained, qualified technicians. Instead of putting his business growth on hold, Jimmy decided to find a solution. Hiller invested over two million dollars to design and build the most advanced technician development center in the United States. And, he didn’t stop there. Jimmy also worked with the Fort Cambell military base to help soldiers transition from their military service to the home services trades. Today, Transitions to Trades has graduated over 475 military personal to the trades. This remarkable program is just one more of many benefits included with your membership.

With over 400 (and counting) specialized Maximum Yield Performance Technology courses, PRAXIS S-10 has proven solutions for every aspect of your residential HVAC business.

It’s all connected. It’s been said every business is only as strong as its weakest link. Where are your weak links? Are you ready to maximize your yield?
