Technician spend more time on a vehicle, less processing timeTop 20% make up 80% of the business- “I wish I could” to other customers and schedule around top 20% customers“Just say yes”- is more of an attitude and mindset, how can you say yes today or tomorrow, ideally get the customer into the shop within 24-48 hours. Cannot over ‘filter’ your customer but need to say yes to the right customer- saying yes to every customer invites chaos into the shop Salesman time is important- filtering qualified prospectsGet testing done in the morning, repairs in afternoonNeed to have proper front counter service advisors- just as important as technicians Training is investing in yourself and employeesProblems associated with people are due to lack of leadership- work on leading yourself the way you wish someone else would’ve led you.

Debate: Just Say Yes – I Wish I Could – Darren Adams and Brett Bohlmann [RR 533]

Brett and Danielle Bohlmann, creates Work/Life Harmony, are the owners of HWY 7 Service Center, Newell, IA. Brett began his career in the automotive industry as an automotive technician. Over the years, Brett began to acquire top-notch experience and a love of automobiles but more of a passion for learning in the entire automotive industry. In 2010, Brett had an urge to start and open Hwy 7 Service Center with the goal of always exceeding the customer’s expectations. Oil definitely pumps in his veins as automotive knowledge, skill, and work ethic radiate from his actions and words. However, the fuel for the fire comes from his family at home and the community that has become a large family too. Find out more about the Bohlmann’s episodes HERE.    Key Talking Points:   Owning a business and having a life outside of business  At first, Danielle was not on board with opening business “Anything worthwhile is uphill” Was able to harmonize business and personal life- 9th year in business, harmony isn’t time-based but is intentional  The pivot point of business- hired a consulting company  Brett is visionary, Danielle is the implementer  Marriage and family first, business second   Fears  Opening the second location Being successful in tiny town (850 population)- was it a trend? Is there enough population? Can the business survive?   Trust in your beliefs  People die for what they believe in, beliefs are powerful Let your thoughts turn into beliefs and goals   Culture of business- family and everyone has a part of the business   No hierarchy, everyone has a stake in the business Wanted employees to enjoy where they work Core values implemented in life and business   Identified right people for right positions- hire technicians out of school and train them   Reenergize   Taking time away from the business Being around like-minded  people in industry, networking  Gratitude, practicing gratefulness       Resources:  Thanks to Brett and Danielle Bohlmann for their contribution to the aftermarket’s premier podcast.
