Three Ways We Work Together

Three ways we move the needle for your dealership.

Engagements are scoped to your situation — diagnostic, project-based, or ongoing advisory.

💬

Dealership Communication & Team Effectiveness

Breakdowns between service advisors, technicians, managers, and customers cost you revenue every day. We build the communication systems and team culture that keep everyone aligned and performing.

  • Communication audit & gap analysis
  • Cross-department alignment workshops
  • Manager accountability & feedback loops
  • DISC Workplace Communication Certification
  • Conflict resolution & team trust-building
⚙️

Fixed Operations Productivity

Fixed ops is your most consistent profit center — when it's running right. We diagnose what's slowing you down and redesign the workflows, staffing, and systems that drive throughput and retention.

  • Technician efficiency & productivity benchmarking
  • Service advisor workflow & capacity analysis
  • Appointment scheduling & digital intake
  • Recall & warranty process efficiency
  • EV & connected vehicle service readiness

Right-Fit Strategy

Tool + Process Alignment

Not every Video MPI tool is the right fit for your store. We assess your current process, team, and DMS environment to identify the right solution — then build the workflow around it.

02

30-Day Activation

Drive Adoption Fast

Launch isn't success — adoption is. Our 30-day activation program gets technicians and advisors using Video MPI consistently, with the coaching cadence to make it stick.

03

Sustainment

Ensure It Sticks

Most programs fail at 60 days when attention moves on. Our sustainment model keeps execution high through metrics reviews, manager coaching, and ongoing accountability loops.

"We don't launch and leave.
We partner and sustain."

This isn't consulting theory. It's thirty years of operating reality.

As Operating Director of Service Engineering Operations at Ford, I oversaw recall execution, warranty operations, technical training, and connected-vehicle service readiness across the entire North American dealer network. I know what good looks like — and I know what gets in the way.

I pioneered Ford's Voice of Customer strategy for service, led the fixed-ops conversion for electric and autonomous vehicles, and turned around service organizations that had stalled under complexity and scale. Every recommendation I make has been pressure-tested in the real world.

When I work with your dealership, you get the same problem-solving approach I used to move multi-billion-dollar programs — applied to your specific situation, your team, and your market.

How It Works

From first call to lasting change

A simple, four-step process that respects your time and gets to results fast.

01

Discovery Call

A free 30-minute conversation about your dealership's situation, goals, and the challenges getting in the way. No prep required.

02

On-Site Assessment

I come to you. Walkthroughs, team interviews, and data review to get a clear picture of what's actually happening versus what the reports say.

03

Action Plan

A prioritized, plain-language roadmap your team can own — quick wins for momentum and structural changes for the long term.

04

Implementation Support

Ongoing advisory as you execute — available for questions, progress check-ins, and course corrections as conditions change.

Ready to move your fixed ops from cost center to profit driver?

Start with a free 30-minute discovery call. No pressure, no pitch deck — just an honest conversation about where you are and where you want to go.
