September 2010 A Service Management Webinar Presented by Ron Slee

An AED Exclusive....
You have to agree that the service department in an equipment dealership makes or breaks a customer's loyalty. The relationship begins when the customer walks through the door and describes the problem they are having. It's critical to the relationship how the inspection process plays out; who performs it and the quality control that is implemented is critical.
There are five different kids of inspections:
- Diagnostic inspection
- Maintenance inspection
- Quality control inspection
- Appraisal inspection
- Check in/check out inspection for rental
Each inspection has a list of items to be covered and performed by a trained technician with a predefined process and price structure for the technician to follow. Having this well implemented process in place is critical for a service department to follow to keep the customer coming back. There is no one in the industry better than Ron Slee to present what it takes to implement a successful inspection process.
This event is repeated over three consecutive days to give managers the opportunity to fit it into their busy schedules.
Ron Slee Says:
"Customers, for the dealership service department, have grown used to performing service maintenance and minor repairs either themselves or with the help of independent mechanics. This has led them to the conclusion that repairs are easily done and that they can diagnose problems with their equipment without much help from anybody.
While it is true that some of the customers employees and independent mechanics can perform very technical work, the dealership is truly the source for all the technical expertise that is provided by the manufacturers of the equipment.
The parallel that will be presented in this program is that of the doctor. The technician performing the inspection is a qualified analyst, trained to know what to look for and what the symptoms mean. The inspections that we are talking about here are diagnostic inspections to be performed prior to conducting any repairs, quality control inspections to be done after work has been completed, and machine appraisals which would be required of machines being traded in or been purchased used.
This program, on inspections, will provide you with an outline, a process, to follow in developing the inspection programs, listed above, for your dealership that will allow you to improve all repair processes as well as have a more consistent condition report on used equipment."
