- Standardized "Word Tracks": Develop and implement scripts for greeters and advisors to ensure every customer receives a consistent, high-value presentation of services.
- Fixed Operations Support: Collaborate with the Parts and Service departments to ensure the "back-counter" and shop floor are in sync with promises made on the service drive.
