Together, these programs provide a roadmap for success by which you can track your profit growth through ATI’s member dashboard. Last, our performance coaches will hold you accountable, and keep you motivated every step of the way, towards reaching your goals.

    Shop Assessments

    Shop Assessments

    Gain a Greater Understanding of Your Business

    Most shop management training is “cookie cutter.” They teach all shop owners to do the same things. At ATI, we know that all customers are not the same, and don’t run their businesses the same way. Your unique circumstances can only be understood by people that have been where you are today, can understand your problems, and provide answers to why your business isn’t reaching its full potential.

    That is why immediately following ATI’s shop owner events, qualified participants are offered a free shop assessment, performed by one of ATI’s consultants. Our consultant will review key aspects of your business, including operations, productivity, marketing, and profitability. Once finished, shop owners are provided with a summary of areas for improvement and an 8-step sequential action plan.
