In a crowded market place, fitting in is a fail  Not standing out is the same as being invisible

For quite some time now, I've worked with many repairers throughout the UK.  Some with Multiple Sites, some very small with only 4 people employed.  At one of my clients, I met Dave R.  Dave was the owner/estimator who's desk always looked like a bomb site, in fact one day, when I visited his office, his desk was so chaotic that I remarked that I think someone's broken in and burgled your desk!

Dave took it in good stead and used a few choice words to reply, but he laughed at the comment and then, with a look of honesty admitted that since he had started working with ARC Support Services, he had begun to relaise how being organised was a critical element of a successful business

For Dave at least, it was a very pivotal moment.  I could see, and almost hear the penny dropping for him. I would appear that all of the hard work getting him trained and focused was beginning to pay off.  He was grateful that his perseverance had begun to generate some good work and secured at least two fruitful work provision contracts too.  But even Dave relaised that it was no longer good enough to crash through the days work of estimate after estimate, without being organised  

Not being able to find his camera or his clip board once he'd put them down was infuriating,  Having to walk back to his office, mid assessment, to try and find a paint marker pen or tread depth gauge was seriously slowing him down, and there were time when even his clients and customers got frustrated with the amount of time they spent waiting on Dave finding what it was he may have needed.  Poor organisation has a knock on effect.  Impacting your day and that of those whose custom your business relies upon. 

Truth is, there is no excuse. To be Successful you must be organised and when you are organised, you become more 'Time Efficient'.  Being time efficient increases your productivity and reduces the burdens of stress that are the home ground of the un-organised.

The VDA Professional is a Fantastic concept presenting all the essential tools of the Vehicle Damage Assessor or Assessing Engineer, in one cleverly organised lightweight case.  The case has a foam insert engineered to fit the contents, so that they stay neatly in place until you need them.  Additionally the contents are presented over three layers, with the most commonly used items presented on the upper layers to further improve efficiency when assessing damaged vehicles.

The VDA Professional is ideal for onsite assessing both in the compound as well as out front of reception.  Additionally it comes into its own if your day is spent on the road either doing mobile estimates or engineering inspections.  All the kit in one place with plenty of storage for assessing documents or work instructions being held in the expanding pocket in the lif of the case.  There is plenty of room for business cards, pens and pencils, calculator, mobile phone and note book I even have one engineer who carries his iPad in it as well.  My self I keep a 7" Tablet in a specific pocket in the foam insert....Makes it easy for me to access methods when I'm assessing a car

The case's foam insert, can be branded in your company's colours and the clip board, stripe board and Dcm² Card, with your company Logo although there is a minimum order for 10 units, for this level of branding.  There are great advantages to be gained from having your corporate identity or professional status broadcast every time you interact with a client or customer.   In the repair industry marketplace, it is no longer sufficient to be good, you have to be exceptional.  You have to be professional and you have to stand out.  Fitting in, in a crowded market place is a fail.  Not standing out in a busy market place is the same as being invisible
