Brett Beachler's business has a 40% close rate for pre-scheduled maintenance appointments. He discusses how to make your current customers, your future customers.  Grab a pen and paper or head to the show notes on this episode. You don't want to miss Brett's closing presentation that can be implemented in your business. Brett Beachler, https://www.beachlers.com/ (Beachler's Vehicle Care & Repair), Peoria, IL. Listen to Brett's previous episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22brett+beachler%22 (HERE) Key Talking Points Customer close procedure/presentation Try to understand what the other person sees and not just what your shop wants Factory specified maintenance review on cars- review the history on Carfax, review what the car needs according to the factory maintenance specifications. The system will actually calculate a date when it thinks you'll be due. Ask what are your plans on the car?  Is the car paid for? Review with the customer what your technicians did. Solidify them saying “You guys are my guy.” Lay the groundwork for them to say “You know what? You just gave me all the right reasons to make an appointment 4, 5, 6, 7 months in advance” Send a text to them about a week ahead  What you don't want to do- run the actual credit card amount and then try to explain it to the customer the factory maintenance and review etc.. As soon as they run that transaction, they're done.  You must direct your advisors the best way they will get the highest batting average for pre-scheduling. Don't start with a closed transaction.  If you don't capture them at that closed sale then the next thing is the email and the text, if we don't catch 'em there, then they call up three weeks later and say, “Hey, I just wanna schedule an oil change. And we go, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you got all this factory maintenance dude. You wanna do it?”  Connect with the Podcast: https://aftermarketradionetwork.com/ (Aftermarket Radio Network) http://youtube.com/carmcapriotto (Subscribe on YouTube) https://remarkableresults.biz/episodes (Visit us on the Web) https://www.facebook.com/RemarkableResultsPodcast (Follow on Facebook) https://remarkableresults.biz/insider/ (Become an Insider) https://www.buymeacoffee.com/carm (Buy me a coffee) https://remarkableresults.biz/books/ (Important Books) Check out today's partners:         Set your sights on Las Vegas in 2022.

Al Smith is the editor of five best-selling books featuring the writings of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. He has served the Church for fifteen years as a Catholic evangelist, radio host, writer, Internet broadcaster, and retreat director. Al's work as the director of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Mission Society of Canada and board member of the Archbishop Fulton John Sheen Foundation in Peoria, Illinois, which promotes the cause of Fulton J. Sheen's canonization process has provided Al with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to the works of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.   During an episode of the Driving Home the Faith Show on Sacred Heart Radio, Al Smith discusses with Fr. Rob Jack some of the content found in this book written by Fulton Sheen in 1941 titled 'A Declaration of Dependence'.  They also discuss his latest anthology titled 'War and Peace' which contains five of Sheen's books from the 1940's.   The book 'A Declaration of Dependence' reveals the shocking truth you need to know in a world riddled by irrationality, emotionalism, and violence. Religion is under attack, whether from totalitarian governments or modern education. Our tacit submission to politics, “freedom,” and science has made us slaves to a diabolical New Atheism and fear. With his prescient wit, wisdom, and fervor, Archbishop Fulton Sheen provides clarity amid propagandist lies and pagan societies united in purpose to destroy. He reminds us why we must fear what kills the soul more than what kills the body. He exposes the false prophets and philosophies at work in the world and the many “believers” who no longer worship or act in accordance with their beliefs. Archbishop Sheen masterfully decries the divisions and hatreds in America, explaining how we have turned from God and are on the precipice, that there is “too much tolerance of evil and not enough intolerance of injustice.” The chastisements the world is facing, he declares, are a consequence of its sins; they are the result of our abandonment of God, our idolatry; and man's attempts to replace God serve only to show that the world is devoid of goodness without His presence. By declaring ourselves independent of God, we have brought down His wrath and made ourselves slaves to the world, the flesh, and the devil. Archbishop Sheen invites us to examine our consciences to see how we have, in fact, caused the wars in the world. By reading this book you will see how “isms” control people where the seeds have been planted for them to be controlled. You will learn how, throughout history, God punishes to destroy evil and, at the same time, to heal His sons from their sins. In addition, you will absorb the future saint's teachings on: The presence of the Antichrist in history The cause of war — whether or not it is just — and where its greatest tragedy lies How to truly fight for peace, justice, and unity in our country and among nations The standard to which all Christians should hold themselves Why the Church is opposed to extreme militarism and pacifism Why those without conscience persecute those with conscience Best of all, Archbishop Sheen explains how God's wrath is not capricious but is a consequence of our actions, how He is good and loving and will not let us drown in our sins, and how the key to our restoration — repentance — is readily in our grasp.   In the book War and Peace, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen recognized that modern atheism was a new type of Messianism threatening to beguile and conquer humanity.  Sheen stressed the use of reason as the unparalleled countermeasure to deceptive communism. The first three books contained in this anthology are a collection of Sheen's classic Catholic Hour radio addresses that were heard by millions of listeners in the 1930s and 1940s. Here, in a single compilation, are Bishop Sheen's most clearly delineated investigations into the underlying causes of communism — every bit as relevant today as when he spoke them — along with an entirely sound and hopeful program for defeating it.  In the fourth book of this anthology, The Philosophies of War, Sheen addresses the confusion felt by most people who were dissatisfied with the ephemeral and superficial commentaries about World War II. Like a master surgeon, Sheen applies the sharp scalpel of his crystal-clear logic to lay open the sources of the world's infection. The fifth book, Seven Pillars of Peace, presents the principles upon which Sheen believes the foundations for a just and lasting peace must be built. By making these five powerful resources your own, you'll have in one volume the means to thrive spiritually in our current seemingly desperate time. Drawing from biblical, cultural, and contemporary examples, Sheen will show you: The spirit of the Antichrist, immoral leaders, education, and societies  How personal sin is sickening our culture — and the cure for this “pandemic” The proper understanding of and instinctive human need for authentic freedom, justice, and love The need to unite for personal rights, including freedom of conscience Why it is crucial to be intolerant of evil and embrace a divine solution How America must choose to repent in order to overcome our present crisis Most notably, Archbishop Sheen proclaims the hope of Christ's Cross and the immeasurable power of His resurrected love. He exhorts us to carry our individual fragments of the beam. It is always darkest before the dawn, Sheen teaches. Times of discouragement are moments when great spiritual transformations can occur. If we return to God and do penance, we will attain interior peace. The future of America's freedom and restoration as a constitutional republic depend on our decision — now — to obediently trust in God.   To order these books, please visit the Sophia Institute Press website at https://www.sophiainstitute.com/author/archbishop-fulton-j-sheen and remember to use the promo code of 'SHEEN25" to receive a 25% discount when you buy two books or more.   For more information about the life and works of the Venerable Archbishop Fulton J.

In this episode, we are talking about keeping your kids safe when they are online, but also how to create safety within a family and community. Our discussion starts with us talking about when it's the right time to give your child a phone or device and how we need to do some work to make sure they stay safe online.

Romano is the co-host of the podcast Finger Painting the Future, and her YouTube Series, Windy City Nanny, sheds light on the variety of childcare challenges we see across the country.

What would your life look like if you only owned what you truly needed? Joshua Becker shares the life-changing moment that convinced him to live with less and focus on what matters most.    In this episode, Cathy and Joshua discuss:  Defining minimalism and common misconceptions around minimalism  The difference between minimalism vs. decluttering Lightbulb moment that led Joshua to transition to minimalism Do's and don'ts for beginning a minimalist lifestyle Joshua's approach of decluttering your most lived-in space first then working towards the hardest space  Advice for working through learned behaviors of your kids and family Why working with your spouse requires love, patience, grace, and humility  What matters most to Joshua: faith, family and relationships, making a positive difference in the world Tips for those struggling to determine what's most important to them         Memorable Quotes: “The method, the approach…I have found to be the most helpful for the most number of people to work through your home is  easiest to hardest, starting with the most lived-in areas first.” “It's a little bit like building up a muscle…this decluttering muscle, and the stronger you get, the better you get at it.” “There are some things that are difficult to get rid of. And when people get to those—don't stop because it's getting difficult. I think when it's getting difficult is when we take a step back and start asking ourselves questions like, Why is this hard for me to get rid of?”   “I think when we use that freed up time and space and energy to help others to make a positive difference in the world, that this is when we get to the end of our lives and we're most satisfied and we're most most fulfilled…people can pursue minimalism for whatever reason they want.”    Joshua Becker and his young family were introduced to minimalism 12 years ago during a short conversation with their neighbor and he immediately became a pioneer of the Modern Minimalist Movement with his blog, Becoming Minimalist. Through his blog, Joshua's story and writing have inspired millions around the world to find more life by owning fewer possessions. Today, based on his thoughtful and intentional approach to minimalism, he is one of the leading voices in the modern simplicity movement reaching over 2 million readers every month.

  Chatting with Sherri welcomes award-winning writer Desmond Astaire! Desmond Astaire is a speculative fiction storyteller from Central Illinois, where he navigates the journey of life alongside a devoted wife and forever-loved son. In his other life, Astaire is a senior enlisted leader for a military public relations unit, supervising the training, development, and operations of multimedia content creators. Astaire's lifelong obsession with science fiction and fantasy was forged as a child in the halls of local public libraries.

The quest for a solution to overproduction of whisky soon turns into a vehicle bent on total domination of America's alcohol industry. At the center of this quest is the president of the infamous Whisky Trust, Joseph Greenhut. His success is so great during the first year, that he soon becomes emboldened to ratchet up the pressure on his biggest rival. And his methods soon cross the line. And as Standard Oil and other trusts draw the attention of lawmakers, Greenhut makes a shift to keep the eyes of the law off of his business.

Join me for an epic mini-series as we investigate one of the darkest chapters in the history of whisky - the age of the Whisky Trust. Built to help control and out of control industry, the Distillers and Cattle Feeder Trust started simply enough, with a goal of stopping the mass overproduction of alcohol. But soon greed took hold of its founders and soon, any device necessary was used to bring the industry under their thumb. Even going as far as Japan to find resources to help them dominate their competitors.

From cocktails to mocktails, we have got you covered in this episode! Today we're talking all about liquor, the home bar and entertaining, and I am looking forward to you meeting today's guest who is here to share her expertise in this area with all of us. Megan Campbell started working in the alcohol industry in 2014, as a server in a dine-in movie theater in Scottsdale.  After a year there she moved over to bartending where she truly fell in love with cocktails.  Another year later and she found herself itching to grow further in the industry.  A friend showed her Fire Station No.1, a new distillery in old town Peoria that was looking for someone to create their cocktail program.  It seemed like the perfect opportunity to showcase her talents and learn a little more about alcohol while she was there.  Megan had no idea how deeply it would affect her! During the 3 years she worked at the Fire Station she met the love of my life, made some of the best friends she's ever had, and of course, completely fell in love with the liquor industry and distilling.  Nothing has ever felt as right as distilling did for Megan.  After a few years, she once again found herself itching for growth, but this time with a bigger goal - business ownership.  There isn't a huge distilling industry in Arizona and nobody in the United States was doing anything like what she had envisioned.  Working for somebody else just did not feel like an option, so she started the long process of collecting funding, finding a location, and learning how to navigate the complex world of governmental regulations.

Hey! We're kicking off this Week in the Life series talking to Amber Dawson, Elizabeth Heinz, Megan Anderson, and Amy Gretchen all about the tips and tricks that make Week in the Life easy and fun. What is Week in the Life? From Ali Edwards.com: A seven-day documentary project, Week In The Life™ began in 2005 as an annual opportunity to capture the simple everyday details of life with photos and words. The albums I've created are some of my most treasured in that they are wonderfully true representations of my family's life at a particular point in time. From the mundane to the profound, it's those simple little everyday moments that I treasure most. *In this episode, we get into some great topics: * * we talk about how we've approached this project over the years * we talk about why this project is meaningful for us * we talk about what happens when you dont finish Very Special Guests: Megan Kiekel Anderson is a crafty nerd who loves documenting everyday life. She's currently settling into her 1900 Witch House and writing lots of speculative fiction. Follow along with her adventures on Instagram and Twitter @megan_nerdnest Elizabeth Heinz resides in Peoria, AZ. She's married and happily raising two boys, Bailey (22) and Joshua (19). She also has an affectionate Boston Terrier, Bond. She works part-time at Midwestern University as a standardized patient.

In this episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast, I talk with Girl Athlete Mindset Mentor Paige Tonz. Paige shares her introduction to sport through softball, leading her to play competitively at the Division 1 level. After struggling to perform in college, Paige explains how a major mindset shift freeing herself from expectations led to a breakthrough senior year. This change in mindset involved focusing on having fun rather than fearing failure. Peak performance can still be achieved with an attitude of fun, and we discuss how you can be successful while still enjoying yourself when you prioritize fun! Paige and I discuss mental strategies for sustainable success, alongside common traps we fall into that can hurt performance and mental health: perfectionism, expectation, fear of failure, focusing exclusively on winning and the end-result, negative self-talk, comparison and a lack of confidence. We talk about how to redefine failure as a learning experience rather than one to be feared, as well as ways of developing confidence and self-esteem as female athletes. This episode also touches on the impact of social media on self-confidence and comparison. We recommend taking social media breaks, the importance of giving yourself grace, and leaning in on a close circle of friends and family in-person. Paige uses her own personal athletic experience -navigating pressures and expectations, perfectionism, anxiety and fear of failure, low self-esteem and more- to guide young girls in group and individual settings. Paige explains how the group coaching she does allows girls to realize that they're not alone in their thoughts and feelings, and how it teaches them tools for changing their mindsets and managing negative self-talk. This group work parallels our Female Athlete System of Transformation (FAST track program), tackling sports psychology as opposed to nutrition. Like a muscle, changing mindsets take consistent work and effort, but no matter your age or experience, you can make the change! Paige emphasizes how confidence can be created and developed through practice and specific tools, rather than being a fixed trait some people do or don't have. We discuss the important part parents play in helping young athletes develop positive mindsets, although it may take an outside professional like Paige to get through to them! Parents, don't take offense: this is totally normal! Find Paige and check out her website https://www.paigetonz.com/  Follow Paige on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube @paigetonz  Paige's Official Bio: Paige Tonz grew up in Peoria, AZ and began playing softball at 8 years old. She has competed at many levels; starting with rec ball, moving to club ball, and competing as a D1 athlete at Northwestern University. Her mission and goal is to help transform girls into strong women beyond the playing field or court. Paige has worked with 1000+ athletes in her programs and workshops. She believe girls have so much opportunity to dream bigger than they ever imagined. Because sports was and still is such a big part of Paige's life, she has had a first row ticket to see how the experiences from sports can be a vessel to success in life on and off the field.  Learn more about Lindsey's Services and the Team at Rise Up Nutrition: www.riseupnutritionrun.com Worried that you have RED-S?
