The Service Opportunities and Learning Day program, or SOLD ‘15, was developed to provide information to operate a successful business.
This year, the focus will be on "Are You A Happy Service Shop Owner Or Manager?"
Are you happy with your shop attitude? Quality of productivity? Shop efficiency? Quality of work output? Is your shop profitability where it should be? Do your technicians, service writers, shop managers, parts providers, salespeople and office personnel come to work happy because they are part of a TEAM?
We want you to join us at SOLD ‘15 and let our expert presenters teach how to build a business to be even more successful. If you’re not happy, then you can’t afford to miss SOLD ‘15. If you are planning to attend HDAW, add a day to your schedule and attend this program, developed specifically for the shop owners and managers.
