Why was this a real problem for the client?

A well-established HVAC firm in Cincinnati was facing a strategic gap in its leadership team. They needed a Director of Service Sales who could not only drive revenue growth but also build and mentor a high-performing sales team. Dan Kosteki and the DDI team partnered closely with the client to understand their long-term vision, service portfolio, and organizational culture. The placed candidate was a Service Sales Manager who brought over 15 years of HVAC industry experience and a history of transforming underperforming teams into top-tier producers.
