Want a real marketing plan that doesn't live in your head or on a bunch of sticky notes?There's something powerful about experiencing world-class customer service firsthand and then turning around and asking, “How can I bring this level of intentionality into my shop?” That's exactly what happened when Brian and Kim Walker took a dream trip to the British Virgin Islands with close friends. What started as a much-needed vacation quickly turned into a masterclass in customer experience, delivered by locals who clearly understood the value of creating moments worth remembering.From the high-energy, fully branded Sweet Ice Willie who made them feel like family, to a rum-slinging boat captain with a loyal dog and a serious social media game, to a beach bar owner who somehow remembered names hours later in a crowd of 100 each story is a reminder that it's not always the fanciest place that leaves the biggest impact. It's the people. The vibe. The way you're made to feel.This isn't just vacation talk, it's packed with real-life takeaways for shop owners who want to stand out in a sea of sameness. You'll laugh, you'll probably want to book a trip, but more importantly, you'll walk away inspired to examine every touchpoint of your customer journey. Because at the end of the day, the experience is the marketing.Thank you to our friends at RepairPal for providing you with this episode.

Melissa Alt and I covered so many topics in this episode. Join me as we discuss how to communicate for yourself in a new role, or in a new office with other providers and front desk personnel. It can be challenging, but I know you will discover something of value from this conversation. Melissa also takes a risk and talks about AUTONOMY. This word can sometimes feel a bit of a risk to talk about, but we should all be discussing it. Patients benefit from a paradigm shift and continued improvement of workforce models. I think we need to put all of our cards on the table and go all in!

Description:In this episode, I share insights from my hectic week that disrupted my usual podcast schedule, exploring the balance of work, studies, and personal responsibilities. I recount a humorous yet frustrating car incident involving a flat tire caused by a razor blade, reflecting on the importance of processing emotional reactions before making statements, particularly in the context of technology discussions. I discuss significant news in the electric vehicle sector, including Nikola Motors' bankruptcy, Lucid Motors' factory acquisition, NIO's battery swap partnership with CATL, and BYD's innovative advancements like their humanoid robot and EV price cuts. Finally, I pose a thought-provoking question about the future of electric vehicle refueling methods—rapid charging versus battery swap stations—encouraging listeners to consider their preferences and the evolving landscape of EV technology.Support the Show:PatreonAcast+Other Podcasts:Beyond the Post YouTubeBeyond the Post PodcastShuffle Playlist918Digital WebsiteSources: Lucid to Buy Nikola's Factory and HeadquartersNIO and CATL Partner UpCATL and 10,000 New Battery Swap StationsBYD Seagull Gets a Price CutBYD 5 minute charging 1BYD 5 minute charging 2BYD 5 minute charging 3BYD Han L's New Lower PriceSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/kilowatt.

Imposter syndrome is a condition where you do not believe that you are enough. That the compliments others give you are untrue. You are not able to hear a compliment from someone and you are afraid that someone will find out that you are not qualified in your role.

Brian and Hallie break down Google Local Services Ads (LSA) and how auto repair shops are using them to bring in more leads at lower costs. Unlike traditional Google Ads, LSA charges per lead instead of per click, making it a cost-effective approach to customer acquisition. Some shops have reported leads as low as $7 per call.They cover how to set up LSA, key verification steps, and ways to optimize a shop's Google Business Profile for better rankings. The discussion also explores how specialty shops can use LSA effectively and when Google Ads might still be useful.With LSA now open to auto repair shops nationwide, early adopters have a clear advantage. Brian and Hallie explain how to make the most of it and why now is the best time to get started.Thank you to our friends at RepairPal for providing you this episode.

This episode is full of reflection and gratitude about my journey into the world of podcasting. I never had podcasting on my radar as a profession. The idea came out of a need to support dental hygiene students. I am a passionate educator, the rest just happened. I hope sharing my journey into the unknown and taking on the challenge of doing something that was uncomfortable supports you to do the same thing. You are capable of doing hard things that feel difficult. The key is to take the action steps forward and just do it! Do not compare yourself to others, just focus on you and getting better each and every day. The rest will happen. Little by little, you will see growth and improvement. Those things should provide you with just enough motivation when things get hard - and they will get hard! Anything worth doing comes with resistance.

Marketing isn't just about spending money; it's about strategy, creativity, and knowing what actually works. That's exactly what Brian and Kim Walker unpack in this conversation with Doug DeLuca, owner of Boca AutoFix, who built a thriving auto repair shop without ever working as a technician before opening his doors.Doug's IT background gave him an edge, helping him master SEO, content marketing, and social media, all while running his shop. He shares with Brian and Kim how he tracks data, refines his messaging, and attracts the right clients using unconventional but effective methods. From leveraging Facebook groups to pull in college students to secret-shopping a quick-lube competitor for blog content, Doug proves that marketing success comes from being proactive and intentional.This conversation tackles why not every shop needs Google Ads, how to structure diagnostic fees without scaring off clients, and the importance of community involvement. Doug's hands-on, data-driven approach to marketing offers real insights for shop owners looking to take control of their marketing and maximize results.Brian, Kim, and Doug break it all down, giving shop owners a blueprint for smarter, more effective marketing.Thank you to our friends at RepairPal for this episode.
