Kareem Abouzeid of Knockout Collision Repair in Esplanade, Calif., has taught sales strategies to shops throughout the U.S. and Canada, and will be at the conference to run “Close More Sales,” a one-hour session that will provide attendees with the processes and inspiration needed to turn estimates into dollars.
“With average repair orders in the $2,000–2,500 range, closing just a few more estimates per week can make a huge difference to the bottom line,” Abouzeid says. “In this session, I’ll cover real-world strategies that any shop can implement right away to boost sales.”
Abouzeid has 22 years of collision repair experience, having worked his way from sweeping floors to launching his own one-man shop in 1999. Today it employs eight and generates more than $1 million annually.
