Service Advisor Training

Your service advisors sit between the customer and the technician, and they carry a sales goal too. CPI trains and motivates your entire service staff, from advisors, technicians and cashiers to service managers and fixed operations directors, so the whole operation runs as one machine built to retain customers.

Who it's for

  • Service advisors
  • Technicians
  • Cashiers
  • Service managers
  • Fixed ops directors

Format

Weeklong, on site, instructor-led

Ask yourself

Are your service advisors well trained and properly motivated? Are they making the most of the sales opportunities every customer interaction gives them? Are they ambassadors for the brand, building relationships that last?

Key concepts

These are a few of the areas the program covers. The full lineup helps advisors become the best they can be.

  • Strategic appointment setting
  • Implementation of a pre-work order process
  • Service advisor's greeting at the vehicle, away from the counter
  • 100% walk-around with every customer
  • Lifting every hood, consistently
  • Complimentary multi-point service inspection
  • Proper presentation of a menu
  • More accessory sales opportunities
  • Service and Accessories Menu creation and enhancement
  • Increasing tire sales

How the week works

It's a weeklong program packed with strategies that change the way your service team works with customers and with one another. Experienced coaches work with your managers, customize the training and focus on the priorities of your store. Your staff sees right away how customers respond to the new way of doing business. That positive feedback reinforces the behavior and builds a lasting change in your culture.

Concise and usable tomorrow

Your team doesn't have time for drawn-out training. The material is concise and to the point. Learn it today and use it on the drive tomorrow. When the week is done, a comprehensive, metric-driven sustainment process makes sure the results of the service process training endure.

Metric-driven sustainment

The training doesn't end when the class does. CPI keeps working with your team after training, with regular follow-up, so the skills stick.
