I am in my second year with ATI, and I have benefited greatly from this relationship. My car count is higher, my ARO is higher, and my parts profit is MUCH higher. I enjoy the accounting aspect as well as the weekly reporting and coaching sessions. I'm extremely glad I traveled 100 miles to attend an introductory seminar and found out about this program.

I am about 6 months in with Elite, and it has already taken me to places I never would have thought before. As a tech turned business owner, it was a must.

Awesome. I have a great relationship with Elite as well. Great organization.

Been with ATI now for several years. I feel that I have benefited greatly. If I had been smart enough to look into a management training program when I started out 20 + years ago I probably would be retired by now.

Anyone been involved with "Repair Shop Coach"? I just started with them this fall after many years with Elite. Elite was very good for our business as were the management courses and consultations before them. (this is our 27th year in business) It is always scary and different when you go down a different path, you sort of wonder what's about to happen, if you made a smart choice. Any stories you folks have about adventures in business coaching and consulting?

Why did we change you ask? Just because... things became stagnant, we plateaued I suppose. Every time you shake things up it seems that there is a renewed energy, things that you have forgotten or never knew before come to the forefront and you get results once again.

It's much like the day to day events at the shop. Unless someone new takes a look from the outside - in, you may never see how you can improve and grow.

You never see what is broken because you are so used to looking for the same things all the time...

awesome. Let us know how you like it! Any reason you didnt graduate into a 20 group?

[Wheelingauto]

I was in 20 groups for many years. I started in a RLO 20 group some 18 or so years ago. After our Coach left and joined with Elite I stayed with them for many years. I think I dropped out 3-4 years ago. I miss some aspects of it but there were many things in the process that became stagnant. That was the sign to me to drop out.

Understandable. Did you ever consider joining another 20 group or something else comparable?

[Wheelingauto]

I think the reasons I dropped out (or graduated, depends on how you look at it) would be the same even in a new group. I do enjoy talking shop though so I would always be open to the idea.

I see above you've stated a connection with Elite.....to what capacity? Are you in a 20 group, part of a one on one coaching? Or looking to be a coach?

I was a coaching client for 2 years with Elite. Not currently a coaching client, transitioning to mastermind and 20 groups. Elite is a great organization though, nothing but good things to say about them.

[Wheelingauto]

What is mastermind and which 20 groups are you looking at? Have you spoken to Jim Murphy?

There is a new mastermind group Greg Bunch of Aspen Auto Clinic is starting up. It is geared specifically toward multi shop owners which is what we are transitioning to become. I'll be attending their first meeting and checking that out.

 

I have spoke to Bob Cooper about Elite Pro Service but I haven't spoken to Jim Murphy.

 

I will also be attending another 20 group meeting to test the waters in February. I believe the name of the group is Import Auto something? the name eludes me at the moment.

[Wheelingauto]

If you're looking into a 20 group Bob is not the right guy to talk to. IMO you need to speak with Jim.

 

Good luck!

Bob was kind of the gate keeper to that whole process.
