AUTO REPAIR CONSULTING DOESN’T WORK! UNLESS….
By David Rogers
Most shop owners come to consultants looking for some little “trick” or “gimmick” that’s somehow going to magically support everything the owner thought he knew, and when they don’t find it…they’re unhappy.
The truth is, there’s no shortcut for the work that has to be done to correct most businesses that aren’t highly successful.
This is not to insult the hard work invested by owners to survive as long as they have…but that doesn’t mean that what they focused on was best, nor does it mean it was or is or will be right.
When it comes to the consulting that we provide, what we do is provide the most efficient and effective systems to owners that we possibly can, systems we’ve developed after 38 years of owning a shop. (That’s consecutive years, not combined. We’ve owned Keller Bros. since 1970.)
These systems are being used by shops from coast to coast, and those shops whose owners and staff fully adopt our program experience exponential growth and consistently beat the tar out of owners who are stuck believing that “they know best” what their shop needs!
It comes down to this: if your ego is too big to let somebody else help, and if you’re too stubborn to stop paying for old systems and let go of old opinions and beliefs (all problems that led you to look for consulting help in the first place)…consulting will never work for you.
It can work…in fact, for shops owners that can get their ego out of the way, consulting can mean huge growth. But you’ve got to understand that there are no quick fixes or shortcuts. If you’re thinking of working with a consultant or trainer, make sure you’re ready to leave your systems and processes behind.
Your success and the rate of your shop’s improvement depend upon your ability to do this!
Remember, there are lots of auto repair consultants out there, and lots of automotive marketing companies…no matter who you decide to work with, make the decision to jump in with both feet before you sign on the dotted line!
Your results will be much easier to attain if the consultants know what they are doing, and it will all happen much faster!
