Are your service operation profits not where you want them to be? Do you have a hunch that your service department could use some attention, but you’re still buried by increased sales and worried about inventories of products to sell? You know something in your service business isn’t right but don’t know where to start? You’re not alone; many self-service dealers share the same challenges today.
Today’s appliance service operations have come a long way through technology, automation, streamlining and increased efficiency. You can no longer run service as you did 5 or 10 years ago. If the independent service providers don’t meet the demand, manufacturers will be forced to build a national network of services. We see it already with the likes of Goodman Home Solutions and Asurion as they scramble to develop service networks across the Nation. Today, quality service and customer care exist from thousands of independent self-servicing dealers and independents; don’t let the corporations take it away from us. The time to change your operations is now.
