The offering

Key2Key gives the owner and leadership team one operating language for the entire shop. Across two days, the class connects the customer experience, inspection and estimate process, movement of the car, team accountability, and the numbers the owner reviews every week. The work is designed to leave Houston with a specific rollout plan, rather than a notebook of disconnected ideas.
