COLUMBUS, OHIO, UNITED STATES, August 24, 2023/
EINPresswire.com/ — In the wake of a severe technician shortage and the increasing need to bolster workplace loyalty,
DealerPRO Training announces a strategic partnership with
Sonic Tools. This alliance doesn’t merely arm technicians with high-caliber tools upon training completion but helps dealerships build an environment radiating pride and robust retention rates.
Scott Saxton, Director of Sales at Sonic, expressed, “Sonic has always recognized the pivotal role tools play in a technician’s career trajectory. This collaboration with DealerPRO is a testament to our dedication. The TCP training, the most comprehensive of its kind, genuinely excites us, and we’re proud to be an integral part of it.”
The current landscape of the auto industry is marked by dwindling technical school graduates and a rising number of retirements, leading to a significant technician deficit. This gap has triggered intense competition among dealerships for top-tier talent. Responding to this, DealerPRO Training has launched an exhaustive retention strategy, integrating Sonic Tools as a prime incentive to stimulate training completion and ensure long-term dealership commitment.
Don Reed, CEO of DealerPRO Training, highlights the essence of this synergy, stating, “Technician retention isn’t just about numbers. We’re forging a space where technicians feel valued and equipped for success. With Sonic by our side, we’re poised to sculpt a more dedicated, skilled, and prideful workforce.”
The
Technician Career Path program is an innovation designed to refine technicians from within a dealership’s internal cadre. A new facet, the Technician Retention Program (TRP), developed in tandem with Sonic, focuses on a Tool Retention Component. This element is meticulously crafted to strengthen employee loyalty and retention.
Addressing one of the core challenges new technicians face, the shadow of trade school debt, Reed explains, “Our partnership with Sonic is a beacon for those entering the industry, laden with debt. We’re not just offering a way out; we’re laying out a career path for growth and loyalty.”
An organized workplace and the right tools aren’t just about efficiency; they’re about instilling pride and ownership. Sonic, globally recognized for its professional hand tools, toolboxes, and premium storage solutions, is an integral part of this vision.
In addition, Sonic’s unmatched tool warranty and exchange program adds another layer of reliability to this partnership. Their hassle-free, lifetime warranty is a testament to their commitment to uninterrupted productivity. Technicians can swiftly replace a faulty tool, ensuring they’re back on task as quickly as possible.
In an industry where the demand for skilled technicians has never been higher, this partnership between DealerPRO Training and Sonic stands as a beacon, signaling a promising future for both technicians and dealerships alike.
