| 01 Aug 2022 | Ep #49: More $$ in Your Pocket on C/C Transactions with Jeremy Scott | 00:33:11 | |
I'm seeing a lot of talk on the social media chat boards talking about shops adding a surcharge on top of credit card transactions. So, basically, if you run your guest's credit card they automatically pay x dollars on top of that charge to offset the fees you get charged as the shop owner. There are also ways you can save money when taking credit cards that you might not even know about...actually, most business owners don't know!

| 11 Jul 2023 | Ep #90: Lucid Collision Repair Program with Jake Rodenroth | 00:44:31 | |
Mister Jake Rodenroth came to hang out with us today on Body Bangin’! As the Operations Manager for the Collision Centers in North America for Lucid and a lifetime in the automotive and collision industry he knows a thing or two. Lucid’s have the longest range (520 miles) and the fastest charging of any of the EVs on the market! One thing I really like is that they aren’t fully touch screen. They have dials and knobs which I miss on some of the other EVs. Did you know that EVs are QUICK off the line? Lucid’s have 820 – 1K horsepower! FUNNN! When looking for a shop to be certified on their program they are looking first and foremost at culture. Are you educating your guests and talking to them at the beginning of the repair? Do you have a strong online presence? It’s important to put those marketing shoes on and make sure you have a website that accurately depicts your shop as well as a Google My Business listing that showcases your shop with accurate directions to get there (if you are off the beaten path). One thing that differentiates the Lucid program is the amount of support and education they provide for their shops. They have monthly meetings to keep everyone in the loop and full access to support. They also have a repair tracker, technology to monitor the repair, coaching the 3D repair system they are rolling out. To apply to be on the prospect list for the Lucid Certified Collision Repair program go here: Techinfo.LucidMotors.com

As a former mechanical shop owner who was doing great financially yet saw that his staff was not cohesive which started his journey into leadership. Within 3 years he had become the employer of choice as he had worked hard on developing and exploring his leadership skills. Kevin is now highly sought after as a leadership coach and this episode will show you why! Did you now that we are at an all-time high of disengagement professionally at 73%! We get into the reasons of WHY and HOW we fix that. We talk about how engagement is the #1 thing that most impacts your business and as shop owners train their staff in all levels of the business they are not doing training in leadership skills. What a miss! He has a great quote – you can’t lead people past where you are at, showing the importance of self discovery and improvement! You also can’t lead people you don’t know so setting up times to meet regularly with your team is a MUST.
2 books Kevin recommends are: 1 – The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle 2 – Culture Shock by by Jim Clifton
