In this video, Mike and Danny talk about how to make a more positive impression on the vehicle owner when answering the phone and interacting with someone new.

If you want more on this topic, Tracy Dombrowski with Collision Advice did a fantastic session on Phone Etiquette and the Power of Mystery Shopping during the 2023 SEMA Show. You can watch that online at https://rde.scrs.com/p/2023-rd8
In Tracy’s session, you will learn how answering the phone – from before the phone rings to how the shop follows through with each interaction – affects the customer experience. Hear how real shops are answering the phone and fielding customer questions and walk away with best practices and scripts for raising the bar on your business through the power of mystery shopping.
