Kyle Bradshaw of K&M Collision, will make his debut presentation at NORTHEAST, is excited to share his expertise through his seminar “Excellence Wins: Redefining Customer Experience in Collision Repair. Inspired by the book “Excellence Wins” by Ritz-Carlton founder Horst Schulze, Bradshaw will share tales from Schulze’s Ritz-Carlton experience as well as his own successes to get people to think a bit outside the box when it comes to dealing with customers.
