Second hour:
Listen Up and hear from other shop owners and what they are experiencing and doing. Remember, YOU are an essential business. Do all you can to stay open and spread the word to your database YOU are open.
History was made way back on March 10, 2020. On that day, we held our very first You Net Results Zoom Webinar Meeting. Host Brian Gillis discussed the automotive industry Leadership Process with our fellow auto repair shop owners and managers. This class laid the groundwork for our auto repair leadership methods, so please enjoy the three clips below.
Sign up for one of our online membership programs to hear this meeting in its entirety, plus hours and hours of additional content. We update our YNR members only library each and every week!
At the 4:30 mark, Brian starts the discussion of Leadership as a process. As you may have guessed, our proprietary Youtools are here to help you facilitate that process. Brian and Jim then take turns detailing how You Net Results came together. Jim reviewed Brian’s credentials in the automotive industry, before Brian did the same for Jim.
Next, Jim explains the six steps automotive service center owners go through to build their leadership process:
“Measure twice; cut once” is a phrase wise leaders live by. When you haven’t taken the proper time to think out your problem solving strategy, you’re tempted to go straight to “action”. Once you’ve gotten your thinking straight and written down your plans (words) in the form of your How-To Manual, you’re finally ready for action.
With a manual full of detailed SOPs for every action you and your staff, it’s now time to train those SOPs every day. This makes the using the right steps a habit for the whole shop. It won’t be easy. You need perseverance – mastering those habits – in order to attain the success you’re looking for. To most of our clients, that means a repair shop that runs on systems and processes, so they don’t have to intervene. They are free to take time off and focus on themselves, outside of their businesses.
What are YouTools? These are the processes that we will help you implement in your automotive business. We want you to grow your business, but also yourself. That means maturing from being simply a business owner to being a business leader. Remember, there are no easy “silver bullets” in this process; It’s up to you to do the work!
Jim then goes on to explain the four levels of automotive industry leadership that business owners may occupy:
Remember, any level works for you if you are happy. However, if you need help ascending to the next level of leadership, You Net Results is here to help!
