This job is not for everyone. For the right person, it will be the best and hardest job you have ever had. You must enjoy fixing things, be highly coachable and able to learn and execute a designed system. This is not freelance.

Is this for you? Are you ready to break free from the 8-5, same old thing, top-down world of Service Department management? Are you ready to take all your knowledge, experience, wisdom and start earning more with it? Have you built multiple teams and departments that kill it on Customer Experience and profitability, but you don’t really see where your next level up is going to come from?

Are you not only skilled, but talented? Are you hungry? Driven? Can you command a room, articulate your thoughts, and lead others? Are you a true expert that has seen it all, have you faced adversity, dealt with it, and still achieved great things?

If so, this is it. This is your shot!

This is your shot to earn more, find purpose, command respect, and unlock a much brighter future for people who are just like you were a few years back. If you honestly feel like you were meant for more, this is finally your chance to PROVE IT!
