The two-day training session focuses on best practices and guides users through all levels of functionality of Mitchell 1 Manager™ SE and ShopKey Shop Management SE. Topics covered include: Optimal settings, workflow options, customization, reporting, scheduling, program security, inventory, purchase orders, aftermarket catalogs and more!
Instructors will also highlight the newest program features, and attendees have a chance to practice the skills they are learning in the classroom in a hands-on computer lab staffed with product experts from Mitchell 1 headquarters.
In addition, the latest optional modules that expand the Manager SE shop management system capabilities are also covered: the ProSpect digital vehicle check-in/inspection app for mobile devices, MessageCenter for text messaging directly from the system and New Online Appointment Request feature (requires SocialCRM subscription). Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn more about our other products during breaks and meal times including the integrated Mitchell 1 SocialCRM auto shop marketing service.
The workshop will be led by Tim McDonnell, senior marketing manager for Manager SE, and Dan Johnson, product manager for Manager SE. “For the experienced Manager user, the workshop provides two days of comprehensive training that increases the value of their shop’s software investment,” said Tim. “The interaction between attendees, sharing methods and tips, plus the new friendships everyone takes home, is priceless.”
Attendees will be welcomed the first evening with a cocktail reception on Thursday, Apr. 30. Workshop sessions begin the next day and run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 01 and Saturday, May 02. The registration fee is $250 per attendee, plus applicable tax, and covers seminars, breakfast, lunch and refreshments each day. Participants are responsible for their own transportation to Orlando and hotel accommodations. A special discounted hotel room block will be available at the Rosen Hotel through April 7, 2020, on a first come first served basis.
