Management transition

Freese Corporation has been in the heating and air conditioning business for more than 60 years. The founder, Jim “Deep” Freese started the business in Orange County, California in the early 1970’s as the Southern California suburbs began to grow.

Freese Corp is preparing for a management transition. Deep, the founder, is about to turn control of the business over to his son, Junior Freese. When he started the business and for most of its first 40 years, Deep Freese knew almost every customer of the business personally. However, he never created a formal customer data base. Today, he has more than 150 employees and 50 trucks operating in Orange and Riverside Counties.

Junior Freese recently graduated from the highly rated business administration program , but never took the Marketing Analytics class.
