I’m doing a free trial of ARI right now, I don’t even have the full features and I feel spoiled with all the features it has compared to just using square. I’m also trying out an AI receptionist called besides and will let you guys know how that goes

Trying to do small things daily to increase exposure. Has anyone built and/or gotten clients from LinkedIn?

Specifically, scan tool. I currently am sunning an Otto fox light, an Icon T10 l, and an Autel MS 906 pro. What ecosystem should I consider adding? No @Ben Dellaria i do not want your million dollar Snap on Scanner.. just playing. Seriously though, what should I be looking to next? Any recommendations will be appreciated.

First I want to thank @Ben Dellaria, I am pretty sure I wouldn't be doing this if I hadn't discovered his YouTube channel. I took on my first customer, a relative of a friend, on July 7th. It was a starter on a Hyundai Tucson, I have worked on this car 2 more times this year. Front brakes and then I did valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, and an alternator. Anyway, I know I have mentioned on here how it can be a struggle getting my name out there but before I did that first job I figured if I did $50k by the end of the year that I would consider that a success. My wife has reminded me of that when I complained about the slow days, she has been very supportive through this whole thing. After being in business for 6 months I have finished the year at $76k with a 59% gross profit, parts margin is right at 48%, and 2.09 hours per RO. ARO $529. Not bad I think, but at the same time I think I could have been close to double if I had had more cars. 144 total ROs so only 24 ROs per month

Hey y'all so I started using QuickBooks online for my business and recently started using an actual shop maintenance software that intergrates with QuickBooks online but I'm not really sure how I should set the integration up so that everything goes where it should in QuickBooks an help would be appreciated
