Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) conference organizers on Thursday announced the details for next year’s Service Opportunity Learning Day (SOLD!) educational workshop to be held during the 2021 virtual HDAW.

SOLD! is geared 100 percent towards owners and managers of service operations and independent distributors offering service. The goal of the SOLD! program is to help the independent service owner and their top managers gain access to information and resources designed to help them run a more profitable business.

In a year that has brought so many challenges, SOLD! organizers say never has there been a more important time to tune in and learn ways to keep your business strong. Every SOLD! session is led by industry experts and will include a live Q&A segment with the presenter.

Three SOLD! sessions will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 26, 2021 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. EST. Areas being covered include operations and training, leadership, financial metrics and shop profitability, and marketing and sales related topics.

SOLD! organizers says the following sessions and industry experts will be offered:

  • “An Introduction to EOS, Entrepreneurial Operating System” presented by Ian Tonks, certified EOS implementer, Traction Trainer – This SOLD! session will outline key business components that all businesses need to be successful, including timeless principals that can benefit any entrepreneur.
  • “Using Financial Metrics and Dashboards for Profitability” presented by Jacob Findlay, CEO and founder, Fullbay – What metrics does your shop track? What are your target efficiency rates?

  • “Online Marketing Tools to Grow your Business” presented by Brie Anderson, owner, BEAST Analytics – Current market conditions have accelerated the need for online marketing and business building strategies.
