A New Business Model for Pool and Spa Service Contractors

Flat Rate Pricing has worked well in other service industries and is being introduced to the Pool & Spa Service Industry by Callahan Roach, the leader in Flat Rate Pricing since 1989.

Arlington, Texas (PRWEB) March 1, 2007 -- Richard Kirkland joins Callahan Roach as General Manager of the Pool Division. Since 1989 Callahan Roach, Inc. has been the Flat Rate Pricing leader in the HVAC industry. Because of this success and the service industry's acceptance of flat-rate pricing, the model has been expanded to the pool and spa industry; a business category with a similar profile that will be served well by Callahan Roach flat-rate pricing model.

Callahan Roach's entry into the pool category began a few years ago and the positive response by pool and spa service contractors lead to the decision to bring an experienced General Manager on board to oversee the growing operation. Mr. Kirkland joins Callahan Roach as General Manager, Pool Division, North America. His 32 years experience includes a number of sales and management positions with the most recent being District Manager for the South Central Region for a major manufacturer. While in this position he tripled sales to fifty million dollars over a five year period. In his new role Mr. Kirkland will be responsible for Callahan Roach's Pool Division sales and marketing development as well as forming strategic alliances with pool and spa service companies and distributors.

Mr. Kirkland has experienced a number of moves across the United States and he stated "I'm excited about being back in my home state and look forward to the challenge and opportunity presented by Callahan Roach to get the Pool Division up and running. It's great to have a product that will not only make my customer profitable but also has real value to their customers."
