Listen to Darrin’s previous episodes https://remarkableresults.biz/?s=%22darrin+barney%22 (HERE) Key Talking Points Pricing and Competitiveness: pricing is based on other businesses, economics/market conditions/competitors, sales force determination, and dealership prices. They do not understand where the price comes from.  Price comparing: asking why it's a considerable difference, asking to match the price, questioning labor prices, see a breakdown of prices. Be competitive, but you don’t need to match. Charge appropriately for your shop. Recovery- KIA EV battery issues- irritated loaner was a gas vehicle, KIA wrote check to cover gas during time they had car (for few months), “fix the problem so well they cant wiat for it to happen again.” KIA was understanding of their individual customer. Have a plan/procedure in place. Have a ‘discount’ budget to use- empower your people.
