Broadly Hosts Business Workshops with ThinkLikeAnApp

The workshops will launch April 10, with a half-day workshop supported by hours of free and individualized “office hours." There will also be workshops on three consecutive Tuesdays, beginning April 13.

Beginning Saturday, April 10, 2021, automotive services software provider Broadly, Inc. and ThinkLikeAnApp have teamed up to deliver a series of workshops for auto service providers.

For over five years, Broadly has been delivering software that helps shops build their reputation, engage with the modern consumer and make the payment processing simple and contactless. Broadly has sought out the team at ThinkLikeAnApp to offer a workshop that focuses on the why and how to build more trusted customer relationships.

Matt Baker, VP of growth at Broadly and longtime executive in the local small business space, is leading the effort to deliver quality, compelling content to the entire auto shop and service provider sector.

“We are always looking to find partners who bring a unique point of view and can help our existing shop owner customers and other shop owners better meet the changing and evolving demands of today’s modern consumer,” Baker said. “I’ve known Neal Polachek, founder of ThinkLikeAnApp, for sometime and he always speaks in ways that small business owners can ‘get it.’ More recently I have come to know his business partner, Dori Etter, who is, in her own right, a compelling force and first-rate teacher.”

The workshops will launch April 10, when Polachek and Etter will deliver a half-day workshop supported by hours of free and individualized “office hours” for shop owners. They will also be delivering the workshop on three consecutive Tuesdays, beginning April 13. The workshops are being sponsored by the Broadly team with the intention of helping both customers and non-customers.

“Neal and I are really looking forward to teaching auto service providers to leverage the three pillars of ThinkLikeAnApp — Authenticity, Transparency and Immediacy — so they can build more trust among their customers, prospects and employees. Together we’ve built content that will speak to the needs of auto shop owners no matter where they’re doing business today,” Etter said.

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)’s latest findings, the technician shortage has reached critical levels, with an anticipated shortfall of 80,000 technicians by year’s end. The association reports that three technicians will exit the workforce for every new technician who enters. Ouch. 

It’s a rare dealer who hasn’t been affected by the technician shortage. And the deficiency disrupts not just the service department but the entire dealership. Extended wait times for service appointments frustrate customers and can lead to a decline in satisfaction levels. Compromised service quality due to understaffed service departments can damage customer trust and loyalty, ultimately impacting dealership profitability.
