They\u2019re expected to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Deliver excellent customer experiences<\/li><li>Sell needed maintenance and repair work<\/li><li>Manage upset customers<\/li><li>Coordinate with technicians<\/li><li>Handle warranty complexities<\/li><li>Maintain CSI<\/li><li>Drive profitability<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Shaffer, TVI MarketPro3\u2019s Vice President of Sales, notes in his recent interview with Bruce Daugherty, Owner and President of ADO Consulting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing a service advisor\u2026 is one of the most valuable and also one of the most difficult jobs in the car dealership\u2026 [they] play a huge role in the customer experience, the client retention, the store profitability\u2026 and the technician retention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When compensation only rewards dollars sold, predictable problems emerge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Advisors focus on immediate sales over education<\/li><li>Customers feel pressured instead of informed<\/li><li>CSI suffers<\/li><li>Trust declines<\/li><li>Advisors burn out<\/li><li>Turnover rises<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce Daugherty puts it bluntly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the most important, hardest job in the store, and we\u2019re trying to work people for three to five grand\u2026 No wonder you can\u2019t get great advisors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underpaying advisors while expecting world-class performance creates a cycle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stress \u2192 Turnover \u2192 Emergency Hiring \u2192 Inconsistent Customer Experience \u2192 Reduced Retention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Common Advisor Pay Structures: What Works\u2014and What Can Go Wrong<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no universal advisor pay plan. The \u201cright\u201d structure depends on factors such as franchise requirements, state labor laws, manufacturer incentives, and dealership goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, after decades of leading high-performing service operations, Bruce Daugherty argues that how compensation is designed matters far more than simply choosing a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Salary Only<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Strongly against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSalary only is a big no, regardless of the store, brand, franchise, location, state, or anything. I would never do only a salary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His concern is simple: Without performance incentives, there\u2019s little motivation to maximize customer experience, efficiency, or sales performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bruce explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe problem with that is there&#8217;s no incentives. There&#8217;s no reason to\u2026 kill a bear every day\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Potential downside:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Reduced motivation<\/li><li>Limited performance differentiation<\/li><li>Difficulty attracting high performers<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Salary + Commission<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Potentially strong\u2014but design matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA salary plus commission\u2026 as a base concept is great, but then how do you design the commission is the big question.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real issue becomes: <strong>What behaviors are being rewarded?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compensation tied only to sales volume can unintentionally encourage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Overselling<\/li><li>Discounting to close work<\/li><li>Short-term thinking<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce\u2019s philosophy focuses on rewarding multiple performance dimensions, not just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Flat Commission \/ Commission-Only Plans<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Requires caution\u2014and legal awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State laws may require minimum salary or hourly components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn California, the average hourly component equates to almost $36,000 a year in base pay just to show up and do nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His broader concern: Commission structures become problematic when incentives only reward volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Gross Profit\u2013Based Compensation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Dangerous if used alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He warns against pure gross-based systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would not ever just say gross only or sales only, either one\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because compensation based solely on gross can create what Bruce calls \u201cRepair order hustlers.\u201d These advisors may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Cherry-pick lucrative repair orders<\/li><li>Avoid difficult customers<\/li><li>Create internal competition<\/li><li>Prioritize paycheck over consistency<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can just write up a bunch of repair orders\u2026 maybe write 30\u201340% more than everybody else\u2026 or cherry pick the right cars, and all of a sudden, you&#8217;ve got a great paycheck\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High production on paper, but potentially weaker culture and inconsistent customer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Hours per RO Incentives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike gross-only systems, Bruce strongly supports hours per RO (HPRO) as one component of advisor compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[You] absolutely have to pay on hours per RO, no matter what the brand, no matter where you are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, he recommends tiered structures, typically with three levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Tier 1: 2.6\u20132.8 HPRO<\/li><li>Tier 2: 2.81\u20133.0 HPRO<\/li><li>Tier 3: 3.1+ HPRO<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These benchmarks should vary by brand and store type. His reasoning: Hours per RO helps measure whether advisors maximize opportunities with the traffic the dealership already has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Team-Based Incentives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Only for CSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce supports team incentives selectively:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only thing I&#8217;ve ever agreed on with team-based incentives is around CSI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because CSI reflects shared effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When someone is out sick or on vacation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026everybody else is willing to pick up the phones, answer, follow up [on] his work\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Bruce avoids applying team incentives to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sales<\/li><li>Hours per RO<\/li><li>Effective labor rate<\/li><li>Gross profit<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>CSI-Based Bonuses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His position is clear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou gotta have it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we want happy customers to keep coming back\u2026 we have to have some way to measure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, CSI compensation requires careful oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Potential pitfalls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Survey manipulation<\/li><li>Unfair penalties for technician issues<\/li><li>Manufacturer scoring complexity<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce notes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou gotta be careful how you manage it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He often prefers monthly measurement with leadership discretion to adjust for unusual situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Retention \/ Repeat Visit Bonuses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bruce\u2019s take:<\/strong> Usually redundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than paying separately for customer retention, Bruce often incorporates loyalty into CSI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that kind of goes with CSI already\u2026 I just prefer the overall CSI score\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufacturer programs may require loyalty metrics, but his preference is simplicity where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Bruce Daugherty\u2019s Preferred Advisor Pay Philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than rewarding one metric, Bruce builds compensation around multiple controllable outcomes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Customer-pay RO average (CPRO)<\/li><li>Effective labor rate (ELR)<\/li><li>Hours per RO (HPRO)<\/li><li>CSI<\/li><li>Customer-pay growth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>His goal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou want a guy that&#8217;s not discounting work\u2026 You want the best of both worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And ultimately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s a guy that\u2019s selling everything, and he\u2019s selling it for top dollar\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not through pressure, but through consistency, customer experience, and disciplined execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Why Some of the Best Pay Plans Reward More Than Sales<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce describes one of the most successful compensation structures he implemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI finally migrated\u2026 to what I called a 50-50 pay program. Half of it was CSI, and the other half was customer-pay averages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI did not pay a percentage of the warranty write-up at all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I want [advisors] to do is give the client a world-class experience, and I want them to sell the maintenance and the customer-pay work\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His philosophy? Reward advisors for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Taking care of customers<\/li><li>Selling needed work ethically<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Not simply maximizing transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe went to 4.2 hours an RO\u2026 and then we finished first in the nation\u2026 with CSI.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His conclusion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou want to be highly focused and take care of customers and selling work. The only two things that really matter. We built a pay program around that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Education Sells Better Than Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High-performing advisors don\u2019t simply quote prices. They educate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bruce explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c90% of the time, it\u2019s advisors. 90% of the time, it\u2019s poor communication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0969698924002297?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Industry studies<\/a> reinforce this. Effective advisor communication strongly influences customer satisfaction, loyalty, and repeat business. Training and advisor development improve both profitability and retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdkglobal.com\/insights\/what-customers-really-think-about-their-service-advisors?utm_source=chatgpt.com#flipbook\/4\/\">industry data<\/a> shows customers increasingly trust advisors who explain repairs clearly and communicate proactively. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdkglobal.com\/insights\/what-customers-really-think-about-their-service-advisors?utm_source=chatgpt.com#flipbook\/4\/\">one large customer study<\/a>, 80% of customers said their service advisor earned their trust by the end of the visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust is not a soft metric. Trust drives retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>The Best Pay Plans Don\u2019t Just Drive Revenue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dealerships face growing pressure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Customer-pay growth<\/li><li>Staffing shortages<\/li><li>Competition from independents<\/li><li>Rising operational costs<\/li><li>Increasing customer expectations<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Compensation matters more than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strongest advisor pay plans don\u2019t merely reward sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They create:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2714 Consistency<br>\u2714 Customer trust<br>\u2714 Retention<br>\u2714 Sustainable performance<br>\u2714 Stronger teams<br>\u2714 Healthier culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the highest-performing advisors aren\u2019t simply the ones who sell the most; they\u2019re the ones customers trust enough to come back to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvi-mp3.com\/solutions\">Check out TVI MarketPro3 for more fixed ops expert insights.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Service advisor compensation may be one of the most debated topics in fixed operations.
