This photograph is of a large installation. On the left is a large rectangle. The top 1/3 of the rectangle is orange, with white lettering that says 'CN'. The other 2/3 of the rectangle is blue, with 'LIVE' on it, with the L and I on top of the V and E. The other part of the installation is a large upside down V shape with a rectangle attached, made to look like a roof. This shape is in orange.

 

Fogarty's Home Services recently attended the CN Live 2023 convention, hosted by Contractor Nation on October 6th and 7th, 2023. It was held at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, CT as well as the Contractor Nation campus in Seymour, CT. 

 

The day was kicked off with breakfast with all of the dealers attending. This was followed swiftly by the opening session of the conference. The opening speaker was Larry Janesky, the CEO and founder of Contractor Nation, Dr. Energy Saver, Total Basement Finishing, and more.

There is a presentation screen behind him. It has a blue background. The top text says 'the purpose of life' in large yellow capital letters. The bottom text, in slightly smaller white capital letters, reads 'to be the best person you can be in service of others'.

 

Another amazing speaker featured at the convention was David Horsager, who taught the crowd about the necessary steps to build trust in our personal lives, businesses, and communities.

The speaker, David Horsager, is gesturing toward something that cannot be seen in the photo while speaking. The presentation behind him has a white background. On the left side, it says 'pillars of trust'. On the right, it lists the pillars - clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency.

 

In this general session, Fogarty's was presented with the 2023 Impact Award for our category. This is an amazing achievement -- given to the select few dealers across the country who show a commitment to caring for their communities. With hundreds of dealers nationwide, this is no small feat, and we were honored to be presented with this award for our annual turkey drive.

 

Another photograph of the stage. In this photograph, the foreground is still of the crowd. There are two speakers on the stage - a woman on the left and a man on the right. The screen says '2023 impact award' with a large orange star next to it.

Another photograph of the stage. The man and woman are still on stage. The screen behind them has a very small '2023 Impact Award' in white and then a large white 'Fogarty's Home Services' logo, which is a F tilted to look like a roof on the left and then the business name on the right. There are two smaller screens on the sides - these have a man picking up a box full of turkeys, with a truck that reads 'Fogarty's Home Services' behind him.

 

Jodi Fogarty accepted the award on behalf of the team.

This session was followed up by several classes, broken into sessions based on topic.

 

Our Home Comfort Specialist, Mark Rogerson, was a presenter during a class about sales. He was able to speak to the crowd of dealers from across the country who were interested in learning more about what we help homeowners with every day, and how he helps them.

Our marketing team also received an award during these classes for the best Meet the Team page out of all of the dealerships in the nation.

The night ended with a large awards banquet hosted by Contractor Nation. Fogarty's Home Services was proud to receive our third and fourth awards of the day during this banquet for being some of the top dealers in the country in our divisions. These divisions are Dr. Energy Saver and Total Basement Finishing, where we are #9 in the country and #10 in the country, respectively.

The second day of the conference was just as great at the first! We headed to Seymour, CT to the Contractor Nation campus to learn more ways to help our homeowners. This day was full of individualized classes and demonstrations to develop skills in each part of the business.

 

One of the highlights of this day was our foreman, Paul S., was featured in a forum. He was giving tips to foremen and installers across the nation on how he does a great job and helps the homeowners he comes into contact with.
