The Champions Group - CF
Certified Facilities
You may have already been part of a business development or 20 group in the past, but we are sure
you were not part of a group such as this one!
This group is designed strictly for certified collision repair facilities. You have invested a great deal into
becoming a manufacturer's approved repair facility, and your challenges are much different than the typical collision
business model. For this reason this group's needs are much different.
Each group commonly meets for 1 1/2 days - 2 days (normally Thursdays and Fridays), 2 - 4 times per year based on the
group's decision. Sharing the "cutting edge" repair examples and overcoming the challenges placed by insurers to convince your
customer base to go to a non-certified repair facility are two key discussion topics reviewed at each event. There are also
special presentations by the latest providers of products and services, and typically additional training experiences.
The Groups are independent, and also not Vendor sponsored.
The group size normally averages between ten to twelve businesses. The location of each meeting is determined by AEII
and they are designed to provide the best examples of operations, technology, and top customer service implementations.
AEII acts as the facilitator and makes all arrangements for meeting space, refreshments, meals, and agenda items.
Each group is managed with the highest quality of communication and services in the industry. Each event will provide
the members with a high level of discussion topics, improvement ideas, and special presentation
topics.
At times when the location has additional interest a third day may be added for a special tour or event. This is
determined by the group and is normally optional.
The Champions Group - CF is an independently facilitated group that is designed to
fulfill
the needs of the business and business owners/managers.
