Mitchell Announces Automotive Collision Seminar Series Full Speed Ahead!
Mitchell International has announced its Full Speed Ahead! Road Show which will take place from August 24 to October 26, 2006 in eight major markets. The Road Show will feature seminars designed to help autobody repair shops optimize performance management, keep abreast of the latest techniques and tools, and learn new ways to stay ahead of the competition. Focusing on how successful shops are adapting to an increasingly competitive market, this event offers an opportunity for shop owners and managers to hear from industry experts, to network, and to share best practices.“Collision repair shops of all sizes are operating in an environment where realizing profits is difficult. Competition is fierce, numbers of jobs are decreasing, and auto’s technological complexity places an extra cost operating burden on shop owners. Shops, more than ever, can benefit from best-in-class performance management systems and techniques to ensure that the maximum operating margin is realized,” said Marc Brungger, Senior Vice President of Client Services, Mitchell International.
The Full Speed Ahead! seminars will cover a range of topics including:
- Managing for Profit
- Industry Trends (Capacity and Cycle Times)
- Estimating for Accuracy
- What’s New at Mitchell?
“The knowledge I received from Mitchell’s “Full Speed Ahead” seminar helps our business every day. Mitchell is a lot more than just an estimating system company. They are helping us in all areas of our business,” said Lenny Chamberlain, Lenny’s Auto Body, Middleboro, Mass.
