PPG Fall MVP Conference Set to ‘Reveal the Power of Performance’

Dynamic keynote speakers, engaging interactive seminars and workshops
and networking with peers and industry partners are all on the agenda
for the upcoming PPG MVP Business Solutions Conference, which takes
place Sept. 18-20 at the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel located in the heart
of the “Big Easy.”

Intended for owners and managers of collision centers using PPG Refinish
products, the biannual conference is part of PPG’s commitment to
provide cutting-edge business thinking and solutions for its MVP
customers. PPG says the conference theme, “Reveal the Power of
Performance,” reflects that commitment and focuses on the timely matter
of how collision centers can maximize their overall performance and
profitability in the current economically challenging environment.

“At PPG, we are constantly looking for ways to bring value to our
customers; it’s something we are very committed to,” said Jim Berkey,
PPG Automotive Refinish, director, MVP Business Solutions. “We are also
excited about the opportunity to learn, exchange ideas and grow stronger
with our customers and preferred collision vendors. That’s what makes
conferences like this one so important.”

The theme, “Reveal the Power of Performance,” will be carried through
the conference’s keynote addresses, seminars and workshops as each event
centers on a performance-related component and its impact on a shop’s
business. Valuable information and ideas will be presented and shared,
all clearly intended to help a shop improve its bottom line through
measured performance-accelerating processes.

Prominent speakers Greg Horn, Ross Shafer and Chris Andreoli will expand
on the theme by offering substantive strategies that can accelerate
performance. Horn, vice president of industry relations at Mitchell
International and a regular contributor to Auto Body Repair News and
Property Casualty 360, will discuss trends affecting the industry and
individual shop performance, while noted author Shafer will point out
why being relevant to your customers and team members is the only way to
grow during a recovery. Andreoli, corporate claims director, repair
shop and industry relations for Progressive Insurance, will present the
insurance perspective on improving shop operations.

Interactive workshops and seminars led by PPG MVP staff and industry
experts will focus on the diverse factors — from employee relationships
and Lead and Lag measures to social media marketing and more — that
directly affect collision center performance. Attendees will have
opportunities to examine their current business structure and determine
what steps are needed to moderately adjust or radically revamp their
approach to establishing a true performance-oriented business model. In
the end “Reveal the Power of Performance” becomes more than a theme; it
offers a dynamic pathway to improvement.
