Likes Or Bookings? Why Detailers Are Focusing On The Wrong Things

Meet Jimmy and Arthur

Jimmy loves detailing, he ran his business from the ground up for a few years

He participates in every detailing group discussing the latest compounds, microfiber towels, equipment etc

He gets onboard with yet-another-coating that just got released 69th time this year

Every detail process he posts on fb, insta & snapchat story as he’s convinced that’s the way to get new customers

On top of that, he spends another 30 mins setting up his DSLR on tripod to film his new youtube video on some tips on how to use a clay bar

Which by the way, has already been covered 420 times since the caveman days

After the work has been done (which he only got paid $300 for a full detail)

Now he’s spending another couple hours blasting everywhere on local fb groups, detailing groups etc

Not only he barely got any inquiries..

All he got is his detailer bros across the states giving him compliments and thumbs up

Now he’s high on dopamine thinking he’s running a successful detailing business

When in reality he’s only booking 2 coating jobs per month at best with Susan inquiring how much to clean the interior of her minivan that has just been perfectly decorated by her 3 kids with dried up coffee and fries

Now, Arthur is a little different

Arthur also has been running his detailing business for a few years


But he knows how to work smarter, not harder

Arthur understands that the lifeblood of his business is his customers, and not his social media followers

He also understands the difference between a general detail *cough* wash job and a correction and coating job that is pretty much night and day

So he decided to laser focus on the specialist services

He has done his research, he knows WHO are his ideal customers

Down to the language they use and watches they wear..

And most importantly, where they hang out

He dedicates couple hours every single morning to generate interest from his ideal customers and set appointments up for them to bring their cars in for a estimate

By noon, not only he has already finished washing and decon on a car he’s doing

He already has 3 cars coming in for an estimate FROM the efforts he put into his business daily, every morning setting appointments up with his IDEAL customers

He took his time doing the appointments, made a great connection with them even though he have to pause what he’s doing.. As he KNOWS the value of sales

By the end of the day he has already booked 2 more cars in for a correction and coating for the week.. On top of 4 cars he’s already currently doing

By the end of the day, he hasn’t even checked his social media..

Nor did he post any stories.. nor did he make any videos.. nor did he participate in conversations with other detailers

Most importantly, he doesn’t whine on groups/forums about "omg how do i manage doing the work and talking to customers"

At the end of the month, he already has done 23 correction coatings, 4 brand new coatings, 3 pre-sales, 2 PPF that brought his revenue to $42,000 that month

Yet he barely posted any content on social media

And J
immy is still replying to his detailing bros about what pad he used on the full detail he did

Months later..

Arthur hired a new staff, upgraded his shop to handle the workflow, new equipment, added a renovated waiting room to better serve customers as he understands the importance of customer experience and his services

What about Jimmy? He got started showing off his snowfoaming skills on tiktok and asking the same question on forums about their opinion on graphene coatings


I’ve seen many detailers come and go, live and die..

Well known detailers and not-so well known detailers

I see detailers all the time obsessing facebook likes, engagements, insta followers, snapchat, tiktok blah blah.. When does it end?

Which in reality, it BARELY convert into sales

I used to be like Jimmy.. (Detailing 1.0)

I have 2.9k likes on my detailing business page and 5.9k likes on my Yikhai Wong fan page


Got me nowhere but broke

Do those likes convert into sales?

I’d be lying if i said no.. lol

It does, but only a VERY small portion (like 0.1%) with little to zero predictability and consistency

When I became like Arthur (Detailing 2.0) everything shifted

2016-17 from $4,300/month to $14,500/month

2018-20 from $14,500/month to $14,500/WEEK

What's next? I started helping detailers to become like Arthur

Time to level up detailers who wants to win


And.. I did not expect what happened?

Meshac just booked a holiday trip to Florida for a $5,600 boat client + another 1 boat + 3 cars:

Zac just booked his highest ticket of $3,400 and booked out until 3rd Week of August:
