A closer look
Numbers tell you callbacks are high; a ride-along tells you why. Managers see how techs diagnose, explain options and treat customers.
Where to start
Schedule one ride-along per technician this quarter.
An example
A manager rode with a tech whose sales were low and noticed he never offered options. Coaching fixed it.
Common mistakes
Turning ride-alongs into inspections, no feedback and skipping senior techs.
What to track
Track ride-alongs and changes in performance.
