Social media and communication in general evolves so quickly in today’s society that it sometimes can be tough to keep up.
But Mitchell 1 has taken a deep look at the evolving means of communication, along with other communication tools, and created new ways owners and managers easily can communicate with customers throughout the repair process. From automated email communication to consumer reviews, reporting and online reputation management, there are many ways the company is ready to help repair shops nationwide with their customer communication.
Owners and managers can learn more about these great tools in two of the six sessions Mitchell 1 is leading at NACE Automechanika Chicago in July.
Mitchell 1 is a Gold Sponsor of NACE Automechanika, and is covering registration costs for your training classes. Click here to register for any mechanical courses for free during the training event July 26-29. Free show floor access also is included in your registration.

Ongoing education is more important than ever as our industry continues to evolve quickly.”
Marcus Mackell, market manager for the Mitchell 1 SocialCRM auto shop marketing product line, will teach two sessions on “Using Social Media and Other Tools to Improve Communication with Customers Before, During and After Their Service.” The first session is Thursday, July 27, at 8 a.m. and the second session is Friday, July 28, at 8 a.m. In his session, Mackell will educate attendees on how to retain customers and attract new ones through automated email communication, consumer reviews, reporting and online reputation management.
