    PM101- Sullivan PDR Estimator owner Jim Sullivan

    By the time the storm was over and they fixed all the cars, Jim and his partner lost $25,000. Each. 

     

    The worst part? It didn't have to happen. 

     

    Jim even saw it coming. 

     

    At one point, he suggested the body shop should sign the invoices on all the cars. 

     

    “Oh no, Dusty always pays.”

     

    Only this time, Dusty didn’t pay.

     

    Why did Jim Sullivan tell us this story? Because he provides PDR estimating software. The program which could have stopped this huge hail storm loss. 

     

    Listen to find out how you can:

     

    protect yourself and your partners at a storm
    track whats happening at your body shop hail sites
    allow your shops to write estimates
    get more money on your big dent jobs
     

    Be sure and listen to the end. Especially if you never want to get ripped off at a hail storm.

    We’re talking about things which seem temporary, like popular music. 
    Music is popular for a small window of time, then it falls off a cliff into the realm of yesterday. But not all. 
    Led Zeppelin to wit. Each new group of teenagers “discovers” this group and their world is changed forever. 
    This is timeless. 
    Is there a way to position your business in your customer’s minds the same way?

    PM98 Your Google Listing Might (Really) Be In Danger

    Robo calls. Always an interruption when you’re in the middle of a dent repair. Every call starts with a lie, too. 
    “You’re listing is not correct…” or some such nonsense. 
    But there really is a way for a well meaning person, or worse an evil competitor to alter your listing. If you’re not careful, you may not even know about it for a time.
     
    Also, year end, we talk tax planning again. 
     
    Finally, the best way to negotiate with an insurance adjuster, and exactly when and where you will need it.
