Are you struggling to find and market to the right people? David Elliott, CEO of Pearl Nano and host of Calling All Detailers, breaks down the critical concept of finding your Ideal Customer by creating a Customer Persona! Your customer persona is a "fake person" based on your top-spending 2-3% of clients. You need to analyze details like their: Gender (e.g., Male) Vehicle type (e.g., Corvette, Mercedes) Interests and habits (e.g., belongs to a Country Club, likes a specific sports team) Age (e.g., 63 years old) Spending habits (e.g., spends $10k per year with you) By creating a specific persona (like "Bob"), you can direct your marketing efforts, such as Facebook Ads, to find more people just like your best customers. This targeted approach helps you stop wasting money and brings more ideal clients into your shop! Need more help with your business strategy?

Did you know that the detailing product world has seen a big shift recently? David Elliott, CEO of Pearl Nano and host of Calling All Detailers, discusses the impact of large equity groups acquiring major detailing product companies. Yes, four of the top detail product companies (3 product manufacturing companies and one detail product brand) have been bought and are now run by their management teams. What does this mean for you and your business? Hopefully, it does not mean much, unless they decide to lower the quality of the products to save money, pressure distributors and vendors to buy more products, or raise the prices on the items to levels not in line with the market. Why does this matter to you? Equity groups are primarily focused on profit. To increase profits, they may be forced to squeeze smaller companies or even reduce the quality of certain products by changing their formulations. This shift in the marketplace means the products you rely on might be changing in quality without notice. At Pearl Nano, we are committed to maintaining high-quality products that produce amazing results and will not change our formulas to chase profit. Plus, we have awesome customer service. If you are noticing a difference in the quality of your current detailing products and would like to switch to a reliable, high-quality alternative, reach out! If you love what you are currently using, then please leave it the same. Try Pearl Nano Products: We offer a sample pack so you can try all of them (David might even send it to you for free!).

Networking is essential for success in the auto detailing industry! In this video, David Elliott (CEO of Pearl Nano and host of Calling All Detailers Podcast) explains why every detailer should be actively networking with other trades (like PDR, tint, PPF, and upholstery) and even other detailers in their area. Here's why networking is a game-changer: Referral Opportunities: Spot services your client needs (like dent removal or PPF) that you don't offer, and refer them to a trusted network partner. Handle Overload: When you're slammed with work, refer clients to a trusted detailer down the street—don't let them wait three weeks! Build Community: Hosting events like a Christmas party helps strengthen relationships and ensures referrals flow both ways. Networking isn't about protecting "secrets" (there are none!), it's about mutual success and providing the best service for your customers.

By getting more leads and converting those into paying customers. And that's fine. But a lot of detailers are leaving money on the table by not following certain protocols in their business like sending out quotes, tracking their close ratio, reviewing their total revenue in qoutes sent out, and improving their follow up system. In this episode, I talk about why it's so important to do the boring things in your business so you can find different ways to optimize your business. Resources

In this episode of the RoadFS DetailBookie Podcast, hosts Jody Sedrick and Rod Pusey sit down with Matt Cubano and Justin from VIP Surface Concepts in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The conversation dives into leadership, pricing strategies, and how to break into the industrial market—from cleaning 18-wheelers and cranes to coating farm and construction equipment.The guys also share insights on finding good employees, scaling without losing quality, managing margins, and learning to “work smarter, not harder.” This is a masterclass in turning passion into a sustainable, profitable detailing business.Guest:Matt Quebedeaux and Justin AustinVIP Surface Concepts

✏️ Join Detailers Growth Academy: https://detailgroove.co/detailers-growth-academy/Websites are hyper important to grow your business. But the big problem is, too many detailers focus on the wrong part of the website. I've seen detailers spend $5,000 on a website and still get zero customers. In this episode, I'll show you examples of websites that are simple and not-very-custom, but they generate $40M to $140M in annual revenue. That's because the design is no where near as important as the optimization.Resources⚡️Give Jobber a try with a FREE 14-day trial plus a special discount: https://go.getjobber.com/detailgroove

The more you drive, the larger service area you can cover, and the more jobs you can get. However, there's one thing you have to be careful about and that's the amount of time you're spending driving. In this episode, I breakdown why spending too much time driving can crush your profits. Resources✏️ Join Detailers Growth Academy: https://detailgroove.co/detailers-growth-academy/

In this episode, I break down the biggest misconception in the detailing industry: the difference between being good at the work and actually building a brand. Most shop owners think that doing exceptional paint corrections and flawless PPF installs automatically creates customer loyalty. They believe that if they just focus on being the best technician, everything else will fall into place. But here's the reality: exceptional work is just the baseline. It's the minimum requirement to stay in business. What actually creates a brand is the relationship you build with customers between transactions. I walk through what happens in most detail shops, why customers forget about you after 14 months even when they loved your work, and the economics of customer acquisition versus retention. If you've ever felt like you're on a hamster wheel constantly replacing customers who drift away, this episode will show you exactly why that's happening and what you need to do differently. The math is simple: maintaining relationships with existing customers is the highest leverage activity in your business, but most shop owners never do it because it doesn't feel productive in the moment.Chapters:00:04 - Understanding Brand Building vs. Customer Retention03:31 - Building Relationships Beyond Transactions06:31 - Maintaining Customer Relationships09:46 - The Importance of Customer Relationships12:40 - The Importance of Maintaining Customer Relationships17:16 - Building Real Relationships for Sustainable GrowthTakeaways: Most detailing shop owners mistakenly believe that exceptional work alone establishes a brand identity when in fact it does not. A brand transcends logos and aesthetics; it encompasses the emotional relationship clients have with your business. Building a lasting brand necessitates nurturing relationships with customers beyond the immediate transaction of service. The economics of retaining existing customers is significantly more favorable than acquiring new ones, underscoring the importance of relationship maintenance. branding for detailers, customer retention strategies, building a brand in detailing, detail shop marketing, customer acquisition costs, emotional connection in business, maintaining customer relationships, repeat business tips, transaction vs relationship business, detail shop success, brand loyalty in detailing, effective communication with clients, marketing for auto detailers, customer experience in detailing, importance of follow-up, growing a detail business, referrals in detailing, customer engagement strategies, relationship building in business, sustainable growth for detailers

In this inspiring episode of the RoadFS Detail Bookie Podcast, hosts Jody Sedrick and Rod Pusey sit down with Canadian detailer Carter Jones, founder of Handicapped and Hustlin'. Carter shares his incredible story of building a successful detailing business while living with cerebral palsy — proving that passion, grit, and creativity can overcome any obstacle.From reworking his van setup and mastering one-handed detailing techniques to building a loyal social-media following, Carter shows that success isn't about limitations — it's about adapting, innovating, and owning your story. The conversation dives into business challenges, mentorship, leadership, and what it means to move from being a boss to being a true leader.

Pricing is one of the most pivotal things you can change in order to increase your revenue and profits. However, a lot of detailers don't actually know if they're profitable, they're scared to change the prices, and end up doing a lot more work for little pay. In this episode, I go over the reasons on why detailers hesitate to charge more for their services and what you need to have in place in order to have a better understanding of your business. Resources⚡️Give Jobber a try with a FREE 14-day trial plus a special discount: https://go.getjobber.com/detailgroove

De Centre Pompidou zu Paräis ass wuel ee vun de bedeitendste Muséeë fir zäitgenëssesch a modern Konscht. D'Konschtinstitutioun huet e Méindeg hir Dieren zougemaach an zwar fir ganzer fënnef Joer. D'Gebai brauch dréngend groussflächeg Renovatiounen. Déi lescht Ausstellung war eng ganz besonnesch Konzeptioun vum renomméierte Kënschtler Wolfgang Tillmans. Wéi geet et elo weider?

Here's the hard truth: most detailers think they're selling swirl-free paint, ceramic coatings, and 10-stage wash processes. But your customers? They don't care about any of that. They're buying a feeling — pride when their car turns heads, relief when their family van doesn't smell like yesterday's drive-thru, confidence when they roll up to a meeting in a spotless ride.In this week's Off the Clock Show, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill dig into the language gap that's quietly killing sales in the detailing industry. Detailers obsess over technical jargon; customers just want you to solve their problems in plain English. It's not about “paint correction,” it's about “making my car look new again.” It's not about “PPF,” it's about “keeping rock chips off my hood.”The guys unpack why bridging that gap matters more than any shiny piece of equipment, why redefining your service descriptions could instantly boost conversions, and how community engagement becomes 10x stronger when you stop talking like a technician and start talking like a neighbor.They also touch on pricing, friction, and why adaptability is the real differentiator in 2025. The big takeaway? If you keep talking like a detailer, you'll keep getting detailer-sized results. Translate your value into your customer's language, and you'll finally get paid like a business owner.

But many detailers claim to make this much but when you dive into their numbers and operations, are way off the mark. In this episode, I breakdown why $100 an hour is a good goal, why I wouldn't make that my default number to aim for, how to actually make sure you're hitting your numbers, and more. Resources⚡️Software we use to run our detailing business (free 14-day trial plus get a special discount): https://go.getjobber.com/detailgroove

This one swings a bat at “more leads = more money.” Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill lay out the Predictable Profit Playbook for detailers: run a $0-ad year by anchoring your price grid with a decoy package that makes your “Best Value” offer irresistible, stack painless 10-minute upsells (chips, blades, glass clarity), and re-ignite past customers with a boomerang cadence at 2/4/6/9 months. We turn office complexes into a mobile-detailing funnel with the “We Wash While You Work” pitch, then kill no-shows using deposits, waitlists, and tight scripts. Along the way: why predictability beats cheap, how to sell outcomes (not services), the real difference between gross and net, and when franchising or hiring actually makes sense. Edgy, tactical, and instantly usable. Say it on every call: “We're not expensive—we're predictable: predictable results, predictable maintenance, predictable resale value.”

The discourse presented herein elucidates the pivotal role of water treatment in the realm of detailing, emphasizing a fundamental truth: the impossibility of water softening without the incorporation of salt. Throughout our conversation, we critically examine the myriad types of purported "salt-free" softeners, which, upon closer scrutiny, reveal themselves to be merely template-assisted crystallization systems, rather than genuine softeners. Our esteemed guest, Cydian Kauffman from Pure Water Northwest, sheds light on the intricacies of water testing and the necessity of understanding one's water composition for effective detailing. We delve into the implications of water hardness on both the efficacy of detailing products and the long-term aesthetics of vehicle surfaces, thereby underscoring the necessity for professionals in the industry to be acutely aware of their water quality. This episode constitutes a clarion call to detailers to prioritize water treatment in their operational protocols, ensuring optimal results in their detailing endeavors.Takeaways: The efficacy of water softeners is contingent upon their salt content, which is essential for proper function. Salt-free softeners are often misrepresented; they utilize template-assisted crystallization to mitigate hardness, not soften water. Testing water quality is imperative before selecting a treatment system; assumptions can lead to ineffective solutions. Both hardness and mineral composition in water can lead to unsightly spots on surfaces and require tailored cleaning methods for removal. Detailers should consider using a combination of water softeners and deionized systems to optimize their washing efficiency and minimize spotting. Understanding the chemical composition of water is crucial for achieving desired detailing results, particularly in challenging environments.
