LET’S TALK WITH ROBIN TAYLOR
“LET’S TALK” IS THE NAME OF A SERIES OF
short, informative videos that Axalta has released covering some of the biggest and most timely issues affecting bodyshops to- day. These include workflow, production management, scheduling, key perfor-
mance indicators and coaching teams, as well as best-practice tips on how to imple- ment successful change.
The tips shared in the videos are based on Axalta Services Manager, Rob- in Taylor’s extensive understanding of
the local industry, along with decades of supporting bodyshops to be more pro- ductive and efficient. It’s impossible for Taylor to visit every shop to share his knowledge, so these videos have been created as a perfect way to quickly share
best practices that will give bodyshop owners a boost to start an efficiency journey that will set them up for long-term success.
There are five videos in total, all available online for easy viewing on desktops, laptops and mobile devices. With a runtime of less than seven min- utes for each video, the “Let’s Talk” series can be quickly viewed and the insights and learnings from the videos can be immediately implemented by shop owners and managers.
The videos can be accessed at www.axalta.com.au/services
