PHCC Unites Contractors Through Visionary Peer Groups for Shared Growth
Running a plumbing or HVACR business takes vision and constant adaptation and the best breakthroughs often happen when like-minded contractors come together to share ideas, compare experiences, and hold each other accountable.
That’s the driving force behind PHCC’s new Visionary Peer Groups, launching in 2026, to help contractors strengthen their businesses, sharpen their leadership, and achieve their long-term goals.
Each Visionary Peer Group is made up of service and repair business owners and general managers who meet regularly to exchange insights, solve problems, and support one another.
Think of it as having your own personal "Board of Advisors” – a group of peers who understand the challenges you face and are just as committed to growth as you are.
“Contractors are incredibly resourceful, but no one can see every blind spot,” says PHCC’s Beth Dobkin. “These groups create a safe, structured environment where business owners can discuss what’s working, what’s not, and how to get better, together.”
The program centers around four key pillars:
- Goal setting
- Financial management
- Process improvement
- Industry benchmarks
Members work with a seasoned business coach to tackle topics such as:
- Business growth and profitability
- Leadership and team management
- Operations and efficiency
- Customer service and innovation
Monthly meetings provide structure and accountability, with members setting goals, reporting progress, and providing support – all while learning from the collective expertise of the group.
PHCC’s Visionary Peer Groups represent a fresh way to connect, collaborate, and grow. By harnessing the power of shared wisdom and accountability, contractors can move from working in their business to working on it...with a trusted team beside them every step of the way.
The benefits are clear:
- Knowledge. Gain a clear understanding of an owner’s roles and responsibilities.
- Access. Get open access to a seasoned “Board of Advisors.”
