Free Webinar Offered March 26

The Automotive Service Association (ASA) announces sponsored benefit providers Mitchell 1 and Automotive Service Leaders (ASL) are partnering to provide ASA members and the industry with an educational Webinar on ShopMeter, a free ASA benefit powered by Mitchell 1. The ASL Showcase Webinar, “ASL Showcase and ASA – Know the Numbers. Use the Numbers,” will take place Thursday, March 26 at noon Central time.

ShopMeter provides useful key performance indicator (KPI) data giving users the chance to see how their shop’s performance stacks up with other regional shops and compare these metrics with national averages. Armed with this information, ASA members can take proactive steps to increase their business.

“ASA and its benefit providers are dedicated to helping our members weather these tough economic times,” said B.J. Johnson, ASA vice president of membership services. “With programs and business solutions such as this Showcase Webinar, members will get firsthand knowledge of how to take the data from ShopMeter and apply it to their daily operations with the intent of increasing business. Having access to the data is one thing, gaining insight into real-world applications is quite another. We are thankful to ASL and Mitchell 1 for their partnership in bringing this Webinar to the industry.”

Designed to help today’s shop owners and managers easily access the core data necessary to assess shop volume, sales and maximize profits, ShopMeter can be accessed online through the ASA Web site, www.ASAshop.org, in the Members Only section.
