The ATI clients set the agenda; while Reed, Bryan and Chub review possible strategies to solve the problem. We review your Key Performance indicators in person - and have fun at the same time.

ATI's 30-Month Shop Re-Engineering Program

At ATI we’ve spent the last 30 years learning how to make shops more successful. We’ve learned training alone won’t do it – no matter how good the training is. Motivation won’t do it – no matter how excited you get.

The daily challenge of running a shop can be so overwhelming that you need a different kind of approach. You need ready to install business systems and processes that solve real problems specific to your shop. You need a coach, just like the professional athletes do. A coach that’s been there, made the mistakes and weathered the storms. You need a well thought out, managed by the numbers, program made up of small manageable steps.

The ATI 30-Month Shop Re-Engineering Program is the answer. This program provides all the education, coaching, business systems and monitoring to transform your shop into a business that can provide the life you have dreamed of.

Built around ATI’s powerful Road Map© process, our Shop Re-Engineering program has added over 90 MILLION dollars in new cash profits to the bank accounts of our clients in the last three years alone.

The Service Manager Workshop

Our new training facility is comfortable and quiet

Offered: 4 days classroom or 2 days-skip a week-come back for 2 days

The person who greets the customer's in the automotive repair business really steers the ship. Besides the fact that all the money comes through their fingers, they are responsible for the customer from the initial phone call to the final stages of quality control. They are often the only visible link to the successful completion of the customer's car. Service advisors can increase or decrease sales in an instant. Their emotional state, character and personality need tuning up every year. Newcomers need quick education so they don't learn the hard way and lose business for all.

This workshop is designed for experts and newcomers. It is not full of canned scripts that you need to memorize. Instead, it begins with basic motivation and effective character ethics. The Service Manager has the most stressful job in the company. He promises price, time, and customer satisfaction and must hold a profit at the same time. Even the pros need to go back to basics to keep from burning out. Today, Service Managers have to be able to sell factory-scheduled maintenance to create a 60% maintenance based business because cars don't break like they used to.

Unfortunately, most Service Managers are ex-technicians and they are usually very analytical. Selling intangible services is extremely difficult for most managers because they have never been exposed to professional relationship based selling skills. This sets the stage for working on the personality with complete understanding of a logical selling process down to drills and games. The best part is the participants get to develop their own responses from phone etiquette to handling objections.

This workshop, "if you choose to accept this assignment", will definitely increase sales, help keep your customers coming back, make life easier, make it the way it used to be and help you stay the professional shop you have worked so hard to be.
