Episode Notes:

It’s a fact you only have about 7 seconds to make a good first impression … interested in how that first 7 seconds can determine your future business success?

If you think that’s not much time, it only takes your potential NEW customer 1/10th of a second to determine “trustworthiness” of your shop!

The appearance of your auto repair shop is more important than ever. This episode explores the evolution of collision centers and focuses on three critical areas: the parking lot, the front office, and the overall customer service experience. With the majority of customers being women who value aesthetics and quality, it's crucial to maintain cleanliness, enhance signage, and create an inviting front office. We discuss practical steps to ensure your business stands out and attracts clients right from the first glance.

This week, we’ll uncover the art of making a memorable first impression, drawing from my 30+ years serving the collision industry as a jobber, I'll reshare insights from a 2020 episode and explore new perspectives on self-awareness and your personal presentation in everyday life. Whether you're meeting a potential client or simply greeting a customer, understanding the power of these first impressions, can set the tone for higher levels of success.
Personal grooming, nonverbal communication, and verbal interactions are key components of making a great first impression. We dive into the significance of good hygiene, appropriate clothing, and the power of a firm handshake. Touching on the importance of eye contact, body language, and much more, I’ll share some practical tips on verbal communication, to ensure you leave a positive and lasting impression in both professional and personal settings. Join us to elevate your game and achieve next-level growth by mastering the art of first impressions.
