Columbus, OH, is set to host an extraordinary opportunity for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals from April 28th to May 1st, 2025. Gene Slade, the acclaimed founder and CEO of Lead Ninja System, will lead an intensive 4-day on-site training event designed to transform the way industry professionals approach sales and business growth. Known for his innovative EGSPA framework and a track record of empowering over 3,000 professionals across 40 states, Slade promises an unparalleled learning experience that combines hands-on training, insider access, and exclusive networking opportunities.

This event builds on Slade’s reputation as a leading sales trainer, recently recognized as the “Top HVAC Sales Trainer in 2025” by Kev’s Best magazine. Following the success of previous engagements, such as his intensive training in Charlotte, NC, and the transformative Blackbelt Sales Mastery Event in Fort Myers, Slade is bringing his expertise to Columbus to help attendees unlock their true sales potential. With limited spots available—including an elite package featuring private jet travel, accommodations, and one-on-one coaching—this event is poised to be a turning point for ambitious professionals in the trades.

What Attendees Will Learn

The Columbus training will dive deep into Slade’s proven methodologies, offering a robust curriculum tailored to the unique challenges faced by HVAC, plumbing, and electrical professionals. Drawing from the Blackbelt Sales Mastery Event, attendees can expect to master consultative selling techniques that prioritize identifying customer needs over pushing products. This approach, rooted in Slade’s EGSPA framework, has helped countless participants double or triple their income by increasing closing rates and transaction values.

Key topics will include strategies for turning routine service calls into meaningful customer relationships, a skill Slade emphasizes as critical for technicians who interact with clients daily but often lack formal sales training. Participants will learn how to address customers’ “true needs,” a cornerstone of Slade’s philosophy that ensures every interaction provides value and fosters trust. This is particularly valuable for maintenance professionals looking to boost revenue without resorting to high-pressure tactics.

The event will also cover revenue growth strategies and sales optimization processes, giving attendees the tools to build scalable systems for long-term success. Slade’s training goes beyond quick fixes, focusing on creating a foundation for business transformation. Attendees will leave with actionable insights into developing processes that generate consistent results, even after the event concludes. This hands-on approach will be complemented by real-world examples from a $25+ million HVAC sales company, offering a rare glimpse into the operations of a high-performing business.

An Immersive Experience

Unlike traditional seminars, this 4-day event is designed to immerse participants in a dynamic learning environment. Slade will personally lead the sessions, ensuring attendees receive direct guidance from one of the industry’s most respected figures. The training will take place on-site in Columbus, allowing participants to observe and engage with the inner workings of a successful sales operation. This practical exposure sets the event apart, bridging the gap between theory and application.

For a select few, Lead Ninja System is offering an exclusive package as Slade’s personal guests. This includes roundtrip airfare on the company’s private jet, premium accommodations, and full access to the training, capped with one-on-one coaching sessions. These personalized consultations provide a unique opportunity to address specific business challenges and accelerate growth under Slade’s expert mentorship. With space limited, this VIP experience underscores the event’s exclusivity and the high demand for Slade’s expertise.

Networking and Industry Impact

Beyond the technical skills, the Columbus event offers a platform for networking with like-minded professionals from across the country. Slade highlights the value of these connections, noting, “Attendees will have the chance to network with peers, sharing insights and building relationships that can propel their businesses forward.” This collaborative atmosphere fosters a sense of community, amplifying the event’s impact long after the final session.

Slade’s influence in the industry is undeniable. His training has already transformed sales outcomes for thousands, earning praise for its practicality and results-driven focus. The Columbus event builds on this legacy, promising to equip attendees with the tools to “take their business to the next level,” as Slade puts it. Whether it’s mastering consultative selling, optimizing revenue streams, or implementing sustainable growth systems, participants will gain invaluable skills to stay competitive in an evolving market.
