What if you sold $20 million in HVAC… in a single year?

This episode is a front-row seat into the mind and method of Phil Filaski, one of the highest-performing sales techs in the US. From $8/hour in sheet metal to $48,000 installs in under 40 minutes — Phil’s journey is proof that grit, belief, and the right systems beat talent every time.

🧠 What You'll Learn:
  • Sales Without Sleaze: How Phil closes massive deals without pressure, pushiness, or gimmicks.
  • From Tools to Top Gun: Why techs need to fix it before they sell it — and how that built his unbeatable sales culture.
  • Real Talk on Sacrifice: What it actually costs to be the best — and how Phil balances legacy with hustle.
  • Power of Belief: How to lead others by example and build a team that outgrows you.
  • Simplify to Sell: Why over-talking kills deals, and the art of saying less to win more.
  • Using Current Events to Close: How Phil turns market chaos and weather shifts into urgency.
  • Paper Over iPad: The old-school presentation style that outperforms digital flash.
  • The Flip Game: How his team feeds him warm leads and why options (always 3!) are king.
  • Finance Like a Pro: Why 80% of his sales are financed — and why Aussies need to catch up.
  • The One Thing Aussie Tradies Must Hear: $500K/year is just the start — not the finish line.
