Is a business coach worth it for my auto repair shop?

You've thought about hiring a coach, but you're not sure it would pay for itself. Here's how Nolavi works through it, the same way a good mechanic works on a car: find the concern, the cause, the correction, then verify the fix.

1

The concern

Nate was paying a coach $1,500 a month. The advice sounded good, but nothing in the shop's numbers changed.

The cause

The coach was working from what Nate remembered, not from his data. Nobody had looked at his car count, labor rate or ad spend side by side.

The correction

Nolavi pulled every number into one place and wrote a short coach style report each Monday: what went right, what to fix, and the one or two moves worth making, each with the math.

The verification

In 12 weeks his score went from 81 to 93 and monthly profit rose about $7,200. Every move is tracked, so he can see which ones paid off.
