When you prioritize your employee’s development, especially technicians, the returns are impressive.
The Good News
Did you know that by simply investing in a technician’s development – both personally and professionally – you could be generating an extra $7,685* of new revenue per technician each year?
Let’s put that into perspective. The average US dealership employs an estimated average of 15 auto techs. That’s a whopping annual revenue bump of $115,275!
Here at Mentor Mentee, we’ve crafted our Technical Mentoring platform with the nuances of automotive technicians in mind. And guess what? Investing in this growth starts at just $2,499 per year.
The Not-so-Good News
Now, let’s flip the coin. It’s no secret that losing a technician can put a dent in a dealership’s wallet. On average, it takes an estimated 27.5 days to fill the shoes of a departed technician. Considering each technician can pull in about $622/day, the cost of not retaining one technician racks up to $17,111** over the estimated time.
But here’s the silver lining – investing in your people always brings a tangible ROI.
When you crunch the numbers, it’s crystal clear: Mentor Mentee isn’t just a platform—it’s a strategic investment.
