This class will take a deep dive into selling your customers on the benefits, and the need to do preventive maintenance. New technologies have only changed maintenance requirements, even electric vehicles need regular inspections and service.
We’ll start with how to create maintenance plans and then how to market them to your customer base. Selling Preventive Maintenance is as much about educating you, your technicians, and your customers on the benefits of a well-maintained vehicle.
We'll discuss starting with the OEs recommendations and then adjusting them to the driving habits of the customers, the regional variations including terrain and weather, and how to discuss this with the customer.
