The Tech Whisperer Network

Your potential best recruiter already knows which technicians in your market are about to quit.

He sees inside 20-30 shops every single week.

He knows who's miserable. Who's underappreciated. Who's one bad Monday away from walking out.

And nobody's asking him.

I'm talking about your parts delivery driver.

Here's what most shop owners don't realize:

That guy dropping off your filters and brake pads? He's a mobile intelligence network. He hears the complaints in every bay. He sees which shops have angry techs slamming hoods. He knows who just got passed over for a raise.

And right now, he's sitting on information that could solve your hiring problem—while you're posting another job ad that 75% of technicians will never see because they're not looking on job boards.

The math is brutal: For every shop desperately posting on Indeed, there are dozens of wanna be techs who see the ad and very few serious technicians even scrolling.

And those very few serious techs who actually see your ad? They're probably just checking what their skills are worth so they can negotiate a raise where they already work.

So while your competitors fight over the same 25% of the talent pool, the delivery driver knows about the other 75%.

The question isn't whether this approach works.

The question is: Why haven't you bought that guy/gal a coffee yet?

What's your experience with parts drivers or tool truck guys? Have you ever gotten a lead from one of them?

Drop a comment below—curious if anyone's already tapped into this.
