Key Talking Points Team apathy- Is the owner being disengaged or having burnout? Maya Angelou quote - “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” If we don't care how the other person feels, we have failed. Showing you care with customers and employees Leadership role- make the people your passion Engagement survey- is there someone at work that encourages my development? Does my supervisor care about me as a person? Think about the last time you had an engaged server at a restaurant- how did that make you feel? What are your employee roadblocks? How can you remove that roadblock for them? How are you doing? How are we doing? How is the company doing? Performance management instead of reviews High priority interrupts- addressing and correcting issues immediately Hiring process-12 step process, 3-6 weeks, meetings, writing assignments, discussions. Are you passionate about customers? How have you wowed a customer? How did you make an upset customer, happy? DISC assessment.

Has being approved by an insurance company made a difference to your bottom line? I had a vehicle towed in recently and the customer's insurance company was to pay for the work done. About a day or two later an insurance adjuster showed up to the shop, gave an inspection and approved our location. The caveat was that the invoice he eventually submitted was a complete lowball. I'm wondering if it was that particular company (small and regional) or would a major insurance company provide a more realistic approved quote? Also, do you guys think it's worth it to request to be on all area insurance companies list of approved shops in the long run? -
