Survivor Weekend 3: Baltimore Brainstorm

Presented by Automotive Leadership Institute and GenesisFour

Dear Shop Owner:

With two fabulously successful Shop Management Survivor Weekends under our belts, we are hard at work planning Survivor Weekend 3: “Baltimore Brainstorm”.

If you haven’t yet made it to a Survivor Weekend, here’s your chance. And if you have, don’t think twice about whether or not you should attend again; everyone leaves asking “When’s the next one?” Each of these events provides yet another massive dose of unique, critically-important material to shop owners and managers.

Increasing pressure from competition, increasing vehicle complexity, ever-lengthening new car warranties, and decreasing technician pools have wiped out thousands of repair shops over the past several years.

Survival of today’s typical automotive repair garage is by no means a sure thing - nothing guarantees it, and it must never be taken for granted. Every shop owner must be painstakingly vigilant of every industry development; a new threat can crop up at any time. Complacency spells certain demise.

What does it take to survive in today’s chaotic business climate? We’ve got tons of invaluable new material on subjects ranging from business management techniques and marketing strategies to the latest emerging technologies in automation.

To add another dimension to the weekend, we’ve also arranged guest presentations: one by the National Automotive Service Task Force (www.nastf.org) – an organization working diligently to help assure your survival as an independent repair shop, and one or two presentations by wildly successful shop owners who have enthusiastically agreed to share their secrets with you.

Thousands of shop owners have been invited, so you’ll also be able to share techniques and ideas with many other shop owners and managers who fight the same daily battle you do.

So if you’d like to discover new ways to squeeze more profits out of your business, come brainstorm with us in Baltimore. Consider extending your stay to see historic Baltimore, or take a short trip to our Nation’s Capitol. We ook forward to providing you with many new, insightful ways to help assure your survival in today’s increasingly stressful business climate.
