Key Talking Points- After Covid, techs were a bit burnt out on webinars and sitting behind computer screens-they appreciated being able to be hands-on again and in person without having to drive and take up their personal time after hours.
- Pick an area to focus on- like a business coach for your technicians. Start from the ground floor
- Similar to case studies- using cars to teach and diagnose at the same time
- Training- collective education on a subject matter
- Trainer and technician bond when you’re in the shop
- Logistically easier having in house than traveling for training
- Assessments of every technician with 1 trainer
- Fosters open and receptive culture
- The relationship between techs and Scott and owners and Scott is valued and appreciated. He gets to know them and can determine strengths and areas for growth. The collaboration as a team is increased as well.
