Policies for Commercial Representative LEAF Program
LEAF is a Climate Control Group (“CCG”) program designed to support channel partners with funds that support your promotion of our brand(s). This policy applies to contracted Residential Distributors with signed Agreements for ClimateMaster, ClimateCraft, IEC or ClimaCool who do local advertising, host events or implement activities that will drive their sales. This is a program implemented to utilize a discretionary fund which puts greater control and support in the hands of the sales team. It is the hope of The Climate Control Group (CCG) that this incentive program will provide additional support to our customers as they endeavor to engage in local residential advertising and sales promotion activities that drive sales for both customers, partners, and CCG.
As you seek to engage your local community in your promotions of CCG, you may be eligible for assistance through the LEAF program. When you participate in eligible activities which combine your efforts with the CCG brand, you may be eligible for a reimbursement of up to 50% of the cost. The reimbursement will be provided in the form of an account credit applied to your outstanding billable or future transactions.
