In this episode of Talking Business, Shelly Peterson - Founder and CEO of Promoting Me, LLC. and Holly Hansen - Community Development Director for the City of Cloquet are talking about the Hidden Gem of All Service Providers (ASP).
All Service Providers (ASP) plumbing and Summit Mechanical (heating and cooling) were in the same building, owned by brothers – they consistently referred customers to each other when they decided to combine as a company. ASP provides the services of:
ASP is expanding across the region; they have purchased several small businesses, building their footprint and outreach into Northern Minnesota. In 2021, ASP purchased Tollerud’s Heating and Cooling Inc., located at 1017 Cloquet Avenue.
Mark Tollerud stayed for two years as part of the purchase transition, and all employees were retained – trained as part of the ASP program—with extensive customer service training involving client-worker role-playing.
On September 22, 2023, ASP’s Hermantown headquarters facility held its grand opening planned by Natalie Gustafson, Marketing Director, who has been with ASP for three years. We interviewed Natalie and Matt Latola (15 years at ASP and Cloquet resident). They shared with us that small towns are very loyal places, and as such, in Cloquet, they plan to expand their local presence.
Last year, they served cider as part of Santa’s Home for the Holidays celebration downtown and will continue to look for opportunities to get involved.
ASP uses workers in the area to work in their service area. The Cloquet satellite office is a place where they bring parts and serve local people.
Their staff provides sales estimates for repairs or new replacements on existing appliances and mechanicals; they are not involved in new construction. Their phone is always answered during operations Monday through Friday, and they are on call 24 hours a day for plumbing/heating emergencies (Monday through Saturday). They have a solid social media presence, which they leverage for education, especially on their YouTube channel.
They offer programs such as Advantage Club Program, an annual maintenance plan that is membership-based. ASP contacts you as a reminder for service. You can choose to tune up two appliances plus 15% off, plus a reduced dispatch fee. In winter, when emergency calls are received, they provide owners with a checklist of things to check for before they come out (e.g., thermostat batteries, change filters, etc.). Give them a call today!
