How to Talk Price with Transparency

July 27, 2021
How can you approach the sensitive topic of price without making customers feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, or taken advantage of? Dwayne Myers of Dynamic Automotive explains.

In this first episode of Ratchet+Wrench's Inside the Consumer's Mind podcast series, editorial director Anna Zeck chats with Dynamic Automotive's Dwayne Myers to learn how shops can approach the sensitive topic of price and avoid making customers feel vulnerable, overwhelmed, or taken advantage of.
