SCRS Offers Details on its Repairer Driven Education Program at This Year’s SEMA Show

The seminar topics will range from how to legally and practically address steering, to getting ready for transitioning your business to a lean model; understanding and performing OEM recommended repairs to finding out how 'quirky' customers can be your most valuable resources; how a lack of understanding of wage and hour compliance could devastate your business, to a look at how to drive business to your door through social networking.

PROSSER, Wash. — The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) has announced additional details regarding its upcoming educational opportunities being featured at the 2010 SEMA Show. The educational track, entitled Repairer Driven Education (RDE), will feature more than 21 seminar offerings, many of which are being offered for the first time during RDE, and all of which specifically focus on issues and information relevant to collision repair professionals operating in today’s marketplace.

The RDE track, being conducted between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4 and Friday, Nov. 5, will be launched with an inspiring opening seminar conducted by Charles Coonradt, author of “The Game of Work,” “Managing the Obvious” and “The Better People Leader.”

For the past 25 years, Coonradt’s concepts in the book “The Game of Work” have enriched the lives and businesses of thousands of collision repairers across the country, and in this rare opportunity RDE attendees will have the chance to hear from the author himself, how they can implement his concepts so that they, and their employees, will learn to enjoy work as much as play. Attendees will return to the workplace charged with excitement at the opportunity to apply these principles, and be able to partake in the final speaking engagement of Coonradt’s illustrious career. The two-day RDE program will also be packed full of information from speakers such as Mike Anderson, Toby Chess, Erica Eversman J.D., John Sweigart, Patrick McGuire Esq., Steven Feltovich, Tim Ronak, Greg Horn and many more.

The seminar topics will range from how to legally and practically address steering, to getting ready for transitioning your business to a lean model; understanding and performing OEM recommended repairs to finding out how "quirky" customers can be your most valuable resources; how a lack of understanding of wage and hour compliance could devastate your business, to a look at how to drive business to your door through social networking.
