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?

- 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.

Are you seeing auto shops in your area get hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and are you feeling left behind because your shop only has a few?

Broadly helps you automatically request reviews so that your customers can promote your business with just one click. When you immediately ask for a review after service, when the experience is still fresh in their mind, you’re more likely to get a 5-star positive review.
