$1.57 Million in 1st Year Sales: How Former CCR Jamie Foruria Became a Crown Champion in Her First Year in HVAC Sales

Today’s show features Jamie Foruria, a comfort advisor with Diamond Heating & Cooling in Garden City, Idaho. Jamie has a story fit for the movies. She is a call taker turned HVAC salesperson, and in her very first year selling HVAC equipment, she became a Crown Champion, selling $1.57 million. That’s not even the most impressive part of her personal story. She was born to a family with a history of addiction. She ultimately was raised in the foster system, where she too struggled with addiction that led to prison time. She’s been clean for eight years and now is a great mother to four incredible children. Jamie is enjoying great professional and personal success. You will enjoy her story, as well as take away a nugget or two from her sales process—in particular how her passion for Diamond Heating & Cooling has helped her sell.
