Location is a huge part of marketing. A business guru once told me, "Expensive rent is the cheapest advertising you can buy." To that end, I wrote an article titled, "How Changing Location, Changed My Life". It's a 1,400-word 7-minute read and chronicles the benefits of doing mindful due diligence in selecting a location.

Got your attention? Good. The topic of the tech shortage has been discussed, kicked around, and debated now for decades. It is nothing new. So, what are YOU doing about it? If we wait for some "entity" to solve our tech shortage, we will be waiting forever. Here is what I think, and tell me how you feel about this: All shops need to start an apprenticeship program Shop owners need to attend career days at the local high schools Shop owners need to reach out to tech schools and post-secondary auto tech schools and let them know of their apprenticeship program Shop owners need to improve the work environment to increase their employee retention rate Shop owners need to sit down once a quarter, do the math, know what they need to be profitable, and put a plan together to raise their employees' wages, including their own! Thoughts? Comments? Opinions? -

Reggie Stewart, Reggie's Motor Works, and Noble Auto Service in Noblesville, IN, Euro Specialist. Listen to Reggie's previous episodes HERE Key Talking Points Did the owner pay off the property 30+ years ago? Why isn’t he paying himself rent? Do the employees of this shop make appropriate wages? Do they provide any benefits? What happens when you have a more complicated problem? Then, they are perpetuating the idea that the auto repair industry is untrustworthy, when in fact it just costs more to build a modern trustworthy business. “There's a shop for every client, and a client for every shop” Connect with the Podcast: Aftermarket Radio Network Subscribe on YouTube Visit us on the Web Follow on Facebook Become an Insider Buy me a coffee Important Books Check out today's partners: Set your sights on Las Vegas in 2022.
