Description
On Body Bangin' we will be talking about all things "body"...auto body that is! I'm Micki Woods, a marketing and business growth specialist for the collision industry. As a former shop owner I understand that there is so much information out there that sometimes it seems like we are trying to drink out of a fire hose, yet we are so thirsty for quality information. On the Body Bangin' podcast we will have a fun time while talking about small and large topics with a variety of guests from around the globe. I will break things down each episode to help you leave with something tangible you can take back to your collision center and make a difference. If you have any topics you'd like me to cover or if you would like to be a guest on Body Bangin' then please email my team at admin@mickiwoodsmarketing.com.

I am talking with Michael Giarrizzo, CEO/President of DCR Systems, about embracing the change of our industry. As our vehicles become more complex things NEED TO CHANGE! Vehicles today are safety machines on wheels so what is your shop doing to make sure you are keeping those vehicles that come to you after a collision are being restored so they operate exactly like they would if they never would have gotten into an accident. We need to start taking on the responsibility of this to create a s...
