            <title>Consider strategic alliance to boost business</title>
            <link>http://www.alpineairjax.com/html/modules.php?name=News&amp;file=article&amp;sid=10</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" hspace="5" alt="Saundra Jones" vspace="5" align="left" width="280" height="290" src="http://www.airconditioning-heating-refrigeration-jacksonville.com/images/Body/SaundraBizJournal.jpg" />Saundra Jones, president of Alpine Air Inc., has been able to grow her heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration business in part thanks to a strategic alliance she established with her competition.</p>
<p>The partnership began in 2004 when she and the owner of Climate Engineers, Inc. discussed a merger.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I decided the merger wasn&rsquo;t in the best interest of my company,&rdquo; said Jones, whose husband is the lead technician for Alpine Air. &ldquo;So I suggested we work with each other. We would become his service staff and in return he would become our installers and duct people. He needed someone to start the systems [his company installed]. And we were growing so quickly, I couldn&rsquo;t staff fast enough.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Working in tandem and sharing staff worked out well for both companies.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It allowed me to take jobs I couldn&rsquo;t take otherwise because I didn&rsquo;t have the staff and it allowed his company to keep running because he had the technical staff,&rdquo; Jones said.</p>
<p>Businesses wanting to grow can explore strategic alliances with other related companies that allow them to offer more products or services to clients. It can also be as simple as sharing advertising costs when two related businesses are marketing to the same customer base.</p>]]></description>

Women should work in the HVACR industry. That was an easy question. So simple in fact, many of the contractors The NEWS posed that question to were seemingly surprised we even asked. It was the qualifying question as to where women fit in the HVACR industry that produced some differing opinions. Some felt that a woman could easily do any job in the HVACR industry that is available. Her only limitations would be her own training and capabilities. Others didn&rsquo;t come right out and say it, but some of their responses limited women more to office functions, dispatch, and sales &mdash; the communications side of the business.</p>
