About me
About me
This page is not neutral. I have an interest in you being interested in the network, and I would rather say so here than let you discover it later.
Why I built this
Clients often ask me "do you know anyone reliable for this". I used to answer with a scattered name and phone number, differently each time, without being able to explain why I trusted them. This page is a tidier answer — and more importantly, it forces me to write the reason down, so I can no longer refer casually.
What I get out of this page
- 01If you join the network through my invitation, I gain one more person who understands what I do — which means one more source of referrals for me.
- 02When someone on my list does good work for my client, my own standing goes up. That is exactly why I am strict about who gets on it.
- 03I charge nobody to be on the list and take no commission from resulting deals. If that ever changes, I will state it on this page before it happens.
What I do
HVAC — air conditioning systems
Design consulting, supply and installation of air conditioning for homes, commercial buildings and centres — Mitsubishi Electric.
Kitz Micro Filter water purification — Japan
Authorised import and distribution representative in Vietnam. Units imported whole from Japan: no electricity, no waste water, drink straight from the tap. Whole-house filtration and direct-drinking systems for apartments, restaurants, schools and factories.
If you know anyone who needs an air conditioning system, or clean water straight from the tap — those are my two lines of work. This network only runs when it runs both ways.

- Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning equipment
- Kitz Micro Filter purifiers — authorised import and distribution representative in Vietnam. Imported whole from Japan, no electricity, no waste water, drink straight from the tap

Who to refer to me
I spell this out so the network runs both ways — I refer others, and I need you to remember me too.
- Projects needing tap-mounted drinking water systems: apartment blocks and factories
- Households, schools, restaurants and cafés needing clean water for drinking and daily use
- Townhouses, villas, offices and factories being built or renovated that need an air conditioning solution
The problem I solve best
Water filtration and clean drinking-water solutions: whole-house filtration for homes and villas, and direct-drinking systems for residences, café chains, restaurants, schools, apartments, factories and offices.
Who I want to partner with
- Developers, main contractors, builders and M&E contractors
- Architects, design firms and interior design consultancies
- Distributors and sales collaborators
- E-commerce sellers
How to refer someone to me
Taken from the GAINS sheet I use in my chapter. If you hear someone say any of the following, please think of me.
When you hear someone say this
- “We’re about to build a townhouse or villa and need air conditioning advice from the design stage.”
- “We’re fitting out an office or factory and need the right air conditioning plan.”
- “I’d like to look at Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning for my project.”
Suggested ways to bring it up
- I know Phuong, Chairman of Callme, who specialises in air conditioning, especially Mitsubishi Electric. He can advise on the right setup for your project. Shall I put you in touch?
What makes a good referral
- A specific need, the type of building and an expected start date
- Access to the decision-maker or the person directly in charge
- The client has agreed to be introduced; ideally a three-way conversation
My own 30-second introduction
“I am Nguyen Hong Phuong, Chairman of Callme. I specialise in air conditioning, especially Mitsubishi Electric, and have spent 28 years working with Japanese multinationals. I would like to meet homeowners and partners working on townhouses, villas, offices and factories. Please introduce me to anyone who needs air conditioning advice from the design stage.”
If you want to be on the list
Message me. I will ask to see a few basic documents and for two or three past customers I can call. No fee. But fair warning: I decline more often than I accept, and a decline does not mean your business is poor — only that I do not yet have enough grounds to put my name behind it.
