Mr. Jay Deal started his home-based heating and cooling business in York County as a part-time enterprise in 1993. Over the years he deliberately grew his business until 1999 when he decided to move it from a part-time to a full-time venture. From this time until 2000, he was able to increase his company's revenues by 30%. The heating and cooling business is a highly competitive field with a large number of firms offering virtually similar services. Mr. Deal was faced with the challenge of finding other markets that had not been fully exploited by his competition, developing a unique selling point or changing his approach to marketing to potential customers. In 2001, Mr. Deal approached the SBDC and requested assistance in both conducting a market analysis and assisting him in developing a revised marketing plan. The analysis indicated that York County, a heavily residential area, had many sub-divisions that were approaching a prime age when the initial heating and cooling installations would require replacement. Through a combination of selected advertising on the local cable channel, targeted mailings, advertising in housing association newsletters and meeting with local housing association members in these selected areas, he was able to identify a niche at just the right moment and identify himself to his potential customers as the best possible solution for their needs. Through the in-depth analysis of the needs of the marketplace, identifying the most likely areas for success and then tailoring his message to his customers, Mr. Deal was able to add its first full-time employee, purchase an additional work vehicle and enabled him to be selected as the Virginia Peninsula Chamber of Commerce's "Small Business Person of the Year for 2001".

| � Owner:
John T. "Jay" Deal III � Founded: February 1993 � Location: home-based business in York County � Telephone: 875-1546; 989-9109 � E-mail: john@dealsheatingandcooling.com � Web site: www.dealsheatingandcooling.com � Hours: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday - Saturday. After hours by appointment. � Services provided: Maintenance, service and installation of HVAC - heating ventilation and air conditioning equipment. Services provided for residential, commercial and government clients. Deal is a Virginia Natural Gas-qualified gas contractor. He is licensed by the state, has a state contractors license and is a Master HVAC technician and master gas fitter. Deal is also EPA certified as a universal technician for proper refrigerant practices. He ran the business as a part-time venture until recently, when he officially went full time. � Background: Deal graduated from a state HVAC apprenticeship, though he first started the program as an electrician's apprentice. "I started to lean toward the air-conditioning field because you get to do a little of everything - electrical and pipefitting," he said. "I felt pretty secure about it. I like being self-employed and the benefit of working with my family. Besides doing the field work, I also do the business end of it, too." � Biz tips: "You've got to kind of start out slow," Deal said. "Between the equipment and my truck and getting some clientele built up, it's along process. If you take some college courses in business, it'll help you make yourself more business-oriented. I served in an apprenticeship," he explained. "That way, besides going to school, you're actually going into the field and doing what you're learning about." � Plans: Hire an apprentice next year and purchase another truck. � Free time: When not working, Deal likes to spend time with his family, especially his young daughters and infant son, and coach basketball. � Mottos: "Deal's offers quality contractor services at a reasonable price." (And the catchier "For a real deal, call Deal's.") |
| "Initially, it was just residential (clients)," said Deal, who has also worked on a number of government contracts. "I'm starting to get more into commercial services. Now, it's about 50-50." |
| � Family affair: Deal's wife, Lolia, serves as business manager and bookkeeper and brothers Mike and Steve help out part-time. "It's pretty much a family business," Deal said. |
