Luke Howell and Hunter Zarzycki (AdMotive)

The human mind is an extremely complex organ. When it comes to consumer behavior, we have seen time and time again how the mind can lead consumers to be irrational, illogical, and make decisions that others can't understand. Why? Why do some women spend $10,000 on a purse but think $350 for a full detail is too much? Why do some men drop $100,000+ on a new car but then haggle on $2,000 PPF? In this discussion, you will learn what drives consumers and why they think, behave, and make the decisions that they do.

Legitimacy Starts Within

10:00 AM

-

10:45 AM

Rodney Tatum; Owner (Mirror Reflections Auto Spa LLC)

We are in a unique position, a low barrier to industry niche arena. This means we have to be transparent in how we communicate with ourselves. This industry's great strength can be its greatest downfall, a low barrier to entry. It provides those with opportunities to offer their greatest gifts. For someone like myself, it gives me an opportunity to bet on myself when others did not necessarily believe in me. But this industry also brings in people who are here perhaps for the wrong reason and often ill prepared for the challenges ahead. Usually the greatest challenge is inner. I could not be where I am today without the self care training (not detailing training) that took place years before I knew anything about detailing or owned a car. That is in part why I am compelled to speak to you. I want to inspire you to break from the 'job' mentality while carrying the responsibilities of running a 'business.'
