Show Notes

  • You must understand your numbers.  Grew ARO from $287 to $800 with the help of coaching. You need somebody to hold you accountable. Trust the process and trust that what’s the worst that can happen?
  • Commit to making small changes.
  • A big pivot in the business is getting a coach to change the things that hold your business back from making a profit.
  • Understanding KPI’s 
  • Big change in business- went from having waiting appointments to no waiting appointments. Closed Saturday’s
  • Have a success plan
  • Paying a premium for exceptional customer service- to feel important, to feel like your business matters. From a customer standpoint, what can they expect from our shop, and what should they expect?
  • Trust your employees; they have the brains, knowledge, ability, and moral compass to do the right thing. 
  • One of the most memorable things is when you take a situation where you’ve let somebody down and completely turn that around. 
  • Don’t compare yourself to other shops; compare yourself with where you were yesterday and last year.
