Why Every Growing Dent Shop Needs a Production Pipeline
Tactical Dent Tech
In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I break down why having a production pipeline is critical if you’re running — or planning to run — a high-volume dent repair or hail operation. A production pipeline allows you to track every vehicle through each stage of repair, from estimates and approvals to parts, production, and post-repair follow-up. Once you reach a certain volume, trying to manage this in your head — or on paper — creates chaos.

Why the First 3 Seconds Matter in Dent Repair Marketing
Tactical Dent Tech
In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I break down one of the most overlooked — yet powerful — parts of marketing for dent technicians: the hook. A hook is the first few seconds of a video or the first line of a post that grabs attention and pulls people in. And just like fishing, some hooks work… and some don’t. In this episode, I explain how I test hooks, why the first three seconds matter more than ever, and how the right hook can turn content into a predictable lead source. We cover: What a marketing hook really is (and why it’s called a hook) Why attention spans...

Why Doing It “God’s Way” Is the Only Way to Win in PDR
Tactical Dent Tech
In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, John gets real about something many people in the PDR industry see—but few are willing to talk about. Suspicious repairs. Damaged cars being covered up. Money made in the dark. And the chaos that always seems to follow. Drawing from real-life industry experiences, biblical principles, and hard-earned personal lessons, John breaks down the difference between operating in the physical world versus walking in the spiritual world—something Jesus spoke about often, but many business owners ignore.
