SUNSHINE WR,

Dave C. makes some good points and should be applied to your approach. I don't know how much I would spend on food though without reciprocation though. It could get expensive, hungry technicians can eat allot.<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> , This I know because I supervise a whole crew of them. The practice of acquiring business this way could go along way but don't let it become an expectation they have. It should be appreciated as an act of generosity.

In addition to these good business practices...I suggest that you use your states vehicle code to your advantage if it applies. Sit down with the service manager and ask the if they fail vehicles for windshield damage during vehicle inspection?

If they do, ask if they repair it for the customer or if they leave the customer to fend for themselves? If they do repair it more than likely they are using the guy onsite already. If they don't do repairs, theirs your opportunity to explain you can provide another quality service to there customers and how they will benefit from it.

If they don't fail vehicles for this damage don't ask why as you will be indirectly insulting them. Maybe ask them how many vehicles come in with damage? Then ask if they would like to capitalize from the benefits of your windshield repair.
Of course you will have to work out the final details with them if this applies in your state.

Just another thought for you.







Pay it foward,
