After 4 months of performing onsite training to SmartFlow clients it is time to check the lessons learned. The results suggest a SMASHING success and the Digital Shop takes shape in more and more businesses.

Lindsay, Tim (both with the team of Mike’s Kars in the picture on the left ) and Gursharan come home with exhilarating feedback by shop owners. Based on best practices the training for service advisors and technicians make it possible to improve not only sales of Digital Inspection Results, but almost more importantly the workflow management opens up unprecedented gains in productivity, confidence and consistency. Below are a few vocal shop owners with feedback (Click on image to enlarge).

SmartFlow training

 

What did we learn?

We learned probably as much as our clients and their staff. The TOP 3 findings are

  1. Habits change into muscle memory through constant reinforcement
  2. Shop owners and managers succeed every time when they get involved
  3. Meeting goals requires regular review of metrics by the trainer and owner/manager

Does it sound familiar? Another lightbulb moment, which goes back to proven management practices. Thank you for reminding us. We took it and developed it into the next level of SmartFlow training. Introducing three new/modified training services!
