  • Processes- often the most neglected of the key components of EOS. Documenting doesn’t have to involve every single detail. No more than 5 pages, 1 page is ideal. Delegate and elevate to someone’s genetic encoding. Also helps with scaling the business to multiple locations.
  • 20% documented, 80% follow by all- don’t expect to follow 100%, you’ll end up frustrating everyone. Rigidity is the enemy of production- need flexibility.   
  • Scripts (professional presentation)- learn it word for word then can free up brain to think and listen to others
  • Example: Service advisor sales process- incoming call (what is the call trying to achieve? Get the right customer in, keep the wrong customer out. Use the presentation, get the key information, set a specific appointment, invite them in), reception, inspection, post-inspection presentation, reselling of value, 3-day call, 30 days follow up call 
  • “Systemize the predictable so you can humanize the exceptional.”  
  • Who should create the process? The people doing the process so they own it and have buy-in. They are also the most qualified since they do it every day.  
  • Core procedures- identify core processes, document, and package
  • Leadership team- IDS (identify discuss and solve) the procedures and train. 
  • Best way to get started? START! What are your top 20 processes? Don’t procrastinate. 
  • What do you learn from processes? Repeating multiple steps and inefficiencies .
  • EOS Life- do what you love, with the people you love, making huge impact, being properly compensated, and having time for other passions

      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.

      As a former shop owner turned business coach, this is a topic that I see often: A shop takes the time to establish their true labor rate, and in many cases, raises their labor rate significantly.  While they get a short-term boost in labor profit, the long-term results are mediocre, at best. Why?
      One of the reasons is that the cost of doing of business has also increased, along with payrolls, and in many cases, at a faster rate then the rising labor rates. And then there is the issue with poor productivity. 
      Has this happen to you and what are your strategies to maintain needed profits?
