Deciding which cars you want in your bay

The enthusiast with a car they love and the person who wants a cheap wash are both customers, and they cannot be sold to with the same page.

Module 2 of the Castells Media academy for contractors: Go to market.

Two audiences, one bay

What the enthusiast is buying

What you must not be mistaken for

How you sound

Where each one is

What your bay hours are currently sold to. Put your own numbers in. If most hours go to the low-value work while the marketing talks about correction and coating, the positioning and the reality have come apart, and the bay is deciding, not you.

Do this next: Decide which end of the market you are for, then read your own price list and ask which customer it was written to attract.
