ASA Mo/Kan training events slated for September, October
The Automotive Service Association of Missouri/Kansas (ASA Mo/Kan) has a number of events and training coming up throughout September, including the first workshop this week. “The Science of Selling is Tuesday evening, with dinner at 6 p.m. and a meeting and training from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This meeting will focus on improving automotive repair sales and profits in your shop by learning the "science of selling." Meeting contents will include an abridged "School of Selling,” and will offer sales tips on how to build long term customers, how to sell big ticket items, how to track lost sales and how to effectively communicate with younger, "Generation X & Y" customers. The meeting is at Ozarks Technical College, OCW Room 108BC, and cost is $20 for ASA members; $25 for non-members. On Sept. 18, “How to Sell Preventive Maintenance” will take place with a dinner at 6:30 p.m. and meeting and training from 7-8:30 p.m. According to ASA Mo/Kan, shops will not survive unless they begin to aggressively market preventive maintenance service. Offering preventive maintenance services to our customers is an honorable venture. It preserves their investment and keeps their vehicles trouble-free and fun to drive. The meeting is at V's Italian Restaurant, 10819 East Hwy 40, Independence, Mo., and costs $20 for ASA members; $25 for non-members. “Do's and Donuts by George Witt” will be presented Oct. 16, in BTC Exhibit Hall - Room 2003, 1775 Universal Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and training is from 7-8:30 p.m. For more information or to register for the events, visit www.asamokan.org. |
