Key Talking Points:

  • Gamification- changing behavior, designing an experienceHow do you engage people with game theory?
  • Focus on process orientation than goal orientation- not outcome focused, be action focused
  • Customer’s want to come back again
  • The Big E’sEnvironment: Physical triggers for customers and employees- is it distracting them or focusing? Putting mirror by phone so service advisors smile when they answer the phone  
  • Engagement: What, how, when, do they interact with each other? Instruction- walk in door, reward is smell of cookies  
  • Rules of play- “restrictions” calling customer back by certain time determined by shop and try to beat that time   
  • Effect: What are possible outcomes during experience? Illusion of choice- simplify set of outcomes that you can control 
  • Design experience- three service advisors, two on phone, one has green light on desk and is waiting to help customer 
  • Emershion: How do I continue to convince customers to keep coming back?  Marketing and advertising- emails or phone calls as touch point
  • Easy and positive experience equals customers wanting to come back 
  • Evolution: Adding new things to your process, always be evolving, constant and consistent growth. People get bored easily   DVI in shop
  • Experimentation- Customers using rules and restrictions to create difference experience  Be aware and flexible- have limitations or expiration on promotional discounts
  • Enjoyment and EventsExpected to pay certain amount and ends up paying less  
  • End game: what ways do we continue to engage customers? Mentor-ship, rewards points, events, involve customers with community

      The Toolbox is Last to Leave, First is the Heart
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         0 comments
      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      In this podcast episode, Coach Chris Cotton from Auto Fix Auto Shop Coaching emphasizes the importance of seeking inspiration and innovation outside the auto repair industry. He challenges shop owners to break out of their comfort zones and learn from disruptors in fields like hospitality, retail, healthcare, and fitness. Chris discusses how adopting customer-centric approaches and technologies from these industries can transform auto repair businesses.
       
      For instance, he highlights how the hospitality industry's focus on exceptional customer service and personalized experiences can be mirrored in auto repair shops to build stronger customer relationships and loyalty. Similarly, he points out how retail's use of data analytics and customer feedback can help auto shops better understand their clients' needs and preferences, leading to more tailored services and improved satisfaction.
       
      Chris also explores how the healthcare sector's emphasis on transparency and trust can be applied to auto repair, fostering a more open and honest communication channel between mechanics and customers. Additionally, he draws parallels with the fitness industry's use of subscription models and community-building strategies, suggesting that auto repair shops could benefit from implementing similar membership programs to ensure steady revenue and customer engagement.
       
      He encourages proactive learning, attending conferences, and networking with professionals from other sectors. By stepping outside the traditional boundaries of the auto repair industry, shop owners can gain fresh perspectives and innovative ideas that can set them apart from competitors.
       
      The episode concludes with practical steps for implementing these innovative ideas to enhance customer experience and drive positive change in auto repair shops. Chris provides actionable advice on how to start small, such as introducing a customer feedback system or experimenting with new service packages, and gradually scale up these initiatives. He also stresses the importance of continuous improvement and staying adaptable to evolving customer expectations and industry trends. By embracing these strategies, auto repair shops can not only improve their operations but also create a more engaging and satisfying experience for their customers.
