When was the last time you were frustrated with someone who didn’t do what he or she was supposed to do? Today? An hour ago? I’m referring to the person who has been trained, repeatedly told, or perhaps even scolded for not doing something your way. Maybe they didn’t even do it at all! People do what they want to do, for reasons that are their own. Want them to change? Here are a few suggestions…

Today, there are more IAQ products than ever and new ones continue to pop up, particularly in the retail market. Who is buying these products? Your customers! Over the coming weeks, I’ll provide the best help I can with tips on how to communicate what you learn to your customers, and how to give them appropriate choices that can make the air in their homes cleaner, healthier and safer.
