Episode Notes: 

As a single shop owner, do you feel like the MSOs and big National accounts have all the power, all the DRP relationships, and a huge competitive advantage over you?

Are you wanting to stay in the game, but looking for a way to level the playing field a bit?

Did you know that you can be part of a large, growing, international network of collision repair shops, gain insights from some of the best operators, without selling your business or joining a franchise?

Would you like to hear about a way your shop can enjoy many of the same operational advantages the “big players” do, but without losing your shop’s identity or costing you a percentage of your business?

If that sounds like something you may be interested in, you’re going to love today’s podcast!

This week, my very special guest is John Hollingsworth… John is the Director of Location Development- for 1Collision Network.

Episode Notes: 

Like many others over the past 5000 years, has man’s search for meaning and the big questions like “why am I here?” … “what’s my purpose” … and “who am I?”, have you questioning your own life these days?

Recently, I attended a major on-line event with a record-breaking, 2.4 million other people, that was driven & hosted by someone that is Hollywood-famous, but most certainly not Hollywood-focused, that helped share a different point-of-view on one of those ageless questions.

Matthew McConaughey is not your typical Hollywood celebrity. He has been known to push back against the pressures of the industry, and in fact, intentionally tanked his own extremely successful rom-com career because he wanted to do more meaningful work. He is authentic, intelligent, and has a true heart to serve.

This week, I wanted to share this message I found on YouTube that he gave, that helps answer one of those big life questions, but from a little different perspective…instead of asking and seeking “Who am I?” … maybe it’s better to start with eliminating “who we are not”?

Moreover, by investing in your education, you'll become better equipped to document and upload everything needed to the RO file to ensure you're properly compensated for those repairs.

Episode Notes: 

Tired of tearing apart interior panels, busting clips and losing money, just trying to replace corrosion protection after stud pulling, or prying out a few dents?... that is, after you put the occasional small fire out!🔥

Does it drive you nuts, watching the PDR teams haul in the cash every time hail or storm damage hits your area, leaving you with just a few bucks in sublet or paperwork fees? 😤💸

Wouldn’t it be great if you could keep more of that panel repair money “in-house” with a less invasive system?🤑

Well… you’re in luck! This week’s guest, whom is the face of the hottest trend in small damage repair…glue pulling repair (GPR), is going to lay out exactly how to do just that! 🎯

Danny Hacker, Master GPR Trainer at KECO BODY REPAIR, explains the many advantages of glue pulling over other conventional methods, the tools and training needed and how GPR may really impact the future of panel repairs, on tomorrow’s high-tech vehicles! 🛸

Episode Notes: 

Were you aware of The Great Awakening  that’s happening in the collision repair industry, and how it's changing the repairer/insurer conversation?

The OEMs have altered the game by leveraging the safety and functionality of using OEM parts and OE recommended repair processes. 

There is a great correlation between the Pixar movie “Bugs Life” and what’s happening in the collision industry.

The lessons from “Bug's Life" can inspire collision repair industry professionals to be creative, courageous, and collaborative in their work, and to value diversity and teamwork as key drivers of success.

In the movie, the ants' lack of resources and inability to fend off the grasshoppers on their own highlights the importance of investing in technology and training for collision repair shops. By equipping themselves with the right tools and knowledge, shops can better protect themselves and their customers.

Just like in the movie, courage, perseverance, and standing up to bullies can be applied to the collision industry as well. In the face of challenges and pressures, it's important for shops to stay strong and remain committed to providing high-quality repairs and excellent customer service. 

Find out more about  the Great Awakening  this week, in our latest episode!

Episode Notes:
 
Do you provide an awesome product or service, but hate to sell?

Is your perception of “salespeople” mostly negative… that they are somehow “bad” people?

Are you the owner of a business, but just the mere idea of “selling” makes you feel cheap, dirty, or untrustworthy?

Sales is the lifeblood of your business, but if you're like many people, the idea of selling makes you feel uneasy and even sleazy. Join us this week as we roll back to Episode #32, and learn how to sell effectively without feeling guilty or slimy. 

From convincing your significant other to buy that expensive item to persuading your child to do their homework, we all sell in some way every day. Tune in and learn how to master the art of persuasion.

Episode Notes: 

Have you ever met someone who claims to be the "best" at something, but has nothing to back it up? No stats, no awards, no certifications, not even a witness to their greatness? Yeah, I think we all have.

Boasting about being the "best" is an easy title to throw around, but it's usually far from the truth. If you're going to claim to be the "best," you better back it up with some serious work ethic. Reading, studying, practicing, researching your craft and constantly striving for excellence is a must.

In this week’s episode, Bo Eason, the "best" safety in football, the "best" playwright on stage, and now aiming to be the "best" speaker in the world, shares his story about what it takes to be the "best" and the importance of generosity in achieving that goal.
