In this episode, Michael Doherty talks about phone skills for service advisors. He emphasizes the importance of treating every incoming call as a quality lead, urging advisors to dig deeper and ask better questions rather than making quick judgments about customers. Michael also highlights that building trust and long-term relationships starts with that very first phone call, and reminds advisors that objections from customers are often just hidden opportunities to build value and confidence.
