Mitchell 1 announced that its final shop management workshop of the year will be held Oct. 9-11 in Nashville, TN, at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Conference Center.
The workshop is designed for shop management software users who want to learn more advanced capabilities, better methods, shortcuts and new features.
The two-day training session guides users through all levels of functionality in version 6.5 of Mitchell 1 Manager SE and ShopKey Service Writer/Shop Management SE. Legacy systems, including version 5.9, are also covered.
Topics include program setup, inventory, reporting, best practices, advanced transactions and integration with aftermarket cataloging. Attendees will also learn about the Mitchell 1 SocialCRM customer retention and new customer acquisition service during a relaxed evening reception.
The workshop will be led by John Dwulet, senior product manager for Mitchell 1’s management software solutions, and Tim McDonnell, national training manager, who together have over 35 years of combined shop management system training experience. Attendees can expect discussions on how to use the management system to energize their business, increase profits and boost productivity.
“This advanced training turns existing shop management system customers into power users who get the most out of their software and business,” said Dwulet. “The sessions will uncover strategies that attendees can use to compete successfully against dealerships, maximize their maintenance and repair opportunities, and enhance their relationship with customers. Each time we conduct a workshop we hear comments such as, ‘the workshop opened my eyes to new ways of doing things that have really helped me in my business.’ No matter how long you have had the software, you learn there are better and more efficient methods to operate the day-to-day business.”
There will be a cocktail reception on Thursday, Oct. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. Workshop sessions run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on Friday, Oct. 10 and Saturday, Oct. 11.
The registration fee is $200 per attendee, plus applicable tax, and covers seminars, breakfast, lunch and refreshments each day. Participants are responsible for transportation to Nashville and hotel accommodations.
