What great shops do DIFFERENTLY - Earned Influence S4E3

What separates a great shop from everybody else?

Patty Ruggia has spent years seeing dealerships from the recruiting side. Jade Price sees the industry from inside the workshop. Their answers point back to the same things: leadership, recognition, communication, customer experience, and the culture created inside the shop.

We also get into why constantly correcting people can destroy trust, why great shops make customers feel like part of the community, and how the attitude of one leader can spread through an entire team.

What did the best shop you’ve ever worked in do differently?

Negative Pushes.

Positive Pulls.

God Bless.
