”When we first met Alan we were definitely in a debt situation. After implementing Alan's training and coaching, we started increasing our numbers, to the point now where we've doubled our revenue.

Rob HuttenBert's Auto & Tire

”About 5 years ago, we were around $800,000 in gross sales, and now we're passing $1.6 million in sales. So it's been good getting involved with a consulting group. I've always known the value of coaching and embraced that.

Stu BoydBoyd Automative and Tire

”I am the Vice President of Sales & Marketing for a Network that supports over 275 Independently owner Automotive Service Centers nationwide. We’ve been struggling to implement an effective professional service training for Service Advisors and a comprehensive performance based coaching methodology that store managers could execute with the help of our Business Development Managers.

This project was a tall order since we do not operate with a common operating procedures due to the Independent member based model we’ve built. Beech Consulting was up to the challenge of not only developing a Professional Service Training that we have rolled out across dozens of our locations. But to also deliver ongoing Performance based coaching to our Business Development Managers in the field. The impact of Beech Consulting on our business has:

- Increased our Avg Repair Order by over 25%
- Increased our Labor per RO by over 40%
- Improved our mix of business to more services than Tires
- Increased our Overall Bottom line Profit

We continue to engage Alan specifically around strategic-planning, operational excellence and talent development. In my career I’ve engaged management consultants and performance experts many times; However, the impact has been average at best. Alan possesses a tremendous amount of real life successes that he’s been able to harness into his servant leadership beliefs that’s created a powerful, results driven model. Beech Consulting has transformed our business. I confidently would recommend Beech Consulting to any organization that is in a service based business in our outside of the Automotive Industry. We plan to keep Beech Consulting busy helping us get ahead for many years to come!

James Channer, Vice President of Sales & MarketingNetwork supporting over 275 Independently owner Automotive Service Centers nationwide

”I have been a shop owner for over 30 years.About 6 years ago, tired of being broke and having no life I asked Alan for help. In that time He showed me and many others how to run a profitable and ethical business that makes me proud. Alan truly understands the challenges facing today's automotive shop owners.

Mike Lagan, Owner/OperatorDowntown Auto Specialist

”I've worked with Alan since 2014 and my repair shop is where it's at today because of it. Alan can relate as a shop owner, and has much knowledge of the automotive industry. He supports my goals and when I'm stuck, he can wisely discern when and how I need that push to the next level!
