What separates average service advisors from the ones who consistently write the most gross and deliver the best CSI? It's these 7 things that stand between you and absolutely crushing it as a Service Advisor!

In this episode of SDR #349, Chris Collins and the team break down the 7 core traits of the highest-performing service advisors — the characteristics that drive more hours per RO, stronger customer trust, and long-term success in the dealership service drive.

If you're a:
• Service Advisor
• Service Manager
• Fixed Ops Director
• Dealer Principal

This episode will show you what truly drives performance (and it’s not product knowledge or objection handling).

We cover:
✔ Why intentional advisors outperform indifferent ones
✔ How top advisors control the customer experience
✔ The psychology behind building trust in the service drive
✔ Why emotional resilience matters more than sales tactics
✔ The difference between investigators and order-takers
✔ How high performers think about CSI, hours per RO, and gross

Most advisor training focuses on selling techniques.
Top advisors focus on trust, ownership, and controlling the experience.
