2024 DRIVE TOP 20 COLLISION CONFERENCE
LOCATION: Dave’s Auto Body, Green Bay, WI Owner: Jessica Senn
DRIVE Master Coach, Cassaundra Croel, offers a few insights to what went on and why:
“DRIVE Collision Top 20 meets weekly to review KPI’s, pertinent topics, and hold each other accountable on established yearly goals. We meet yearly to tour one of the member’s shop. The group gives feedback on workflow and customer experience. The Host shows the other members highlights of the area as well as other successful body shops and manufacturing facilities.
Overall, this group works to elevate each other, making each shop accountable to the standards necessary to be profitable. Collision is unique in it’s place in the industry, type of skillsets, and process of acquiring customers. Being a part of this group puts you in a commraderie that understands your scussesses and challenges and will hold you to the steps to move forward.
All collision shops interested can contact me or have their BA send their information to me. Cassaundra Croel / ccroel@driveshops.com / 626.210.3246″
