A Message From Our CEO, Charles J. Bonfiglio
INSIGHT
All of us at Tint World Headquarters and its franchise owners, come from di erent backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, etc. but the one thing we ALL have in common is our passion and love for vehicles and automotive styling. What binds us together is this passion and this belief that a vehicle is more than just a mode of transportation; it’s an expression of who we are and what our business is, and in the simplest terms possible, our business is cool. And THAT is what this year’s Convention is going to be about.
With over 100 locations open, 100+ stores in development, and more multi-store owners than ever, our Tint World franchise has so much to celebrate and is getting down to business and not messing around! Amongst our many awards, we were recently named #4848 on the Inc. 5000 list, marking 7 years of annual rankings!
We look forward to seeing everyone in Orlando!
Thissuccess.theme
came about because our HQ team wanted to reevaluate who we are as a company and what we do. I’ve always said that what we do is a “sexy business”, and it was time for us to revamp our Convention theme to who we are as a company right now.
Quarterly Success
Tint World®’s 2023 Convention Is Back To Business
The Tint World’s 2023 Convention Theme is “Let’s Get Down to Business”. The appeal about ‘let’s get down to business’, is that while it can mean a lot of things, this idiom always refers to doing something important with focus and seriousness. I see all of you striving for excellence in your business and this convention will celebrate this commitment for our collective growth and expansion of nancial and lifestyle
We look forward to seeing everyone as we celebrate our successes and learn the latest techniques for the new year! Each year we thoughtfully identify our convention theme to convey a central message that creates a sense of structure and unity, with our ever-growing 200 owners strong franchise family.
Now, is the time for us to take what we learned over the last two years and get down to business leveling up to grow our company and build the successes of our franchise store owners.

The theme of the A – Series was meant as a tribute to the US armed forces, its dedicated members, and the technology that makes them a superior force around the world. Just like the iconic aircraft that they are named after, the A – 10 and A – 12 feature advanced technology, are hard – hitting, and very robust.
Performance is designed for the street enthusiast who wants good sound quality, the ability to have some fun at higher output levels and is still a fraction of the price of higher – end subwoofers like the SW

The Work Request Form asks your clients for their basic contact information, including their Zip Code and Email address. Capturing BOTH Zip Code and Email information is essential for long term growth including and especially when looking to open your next location…
But why should you use this?
INSIGHT Quarterly Success Newsletter Q3 - 2022 10
2. It allows the client to engage immediately as they walk in even if you are tied up with another client
4. You can utilize (multiple) standalone kiosk stands with the Work Request Form locked on screen
Would you like an extra set of hands on your sales oor? What if I told you that you already have one?! Look no further than the “Work Request Form” within ShopMonkey!
1. In ShopMonkey: Go to Settings General Settings Work Request Form
5. You can create a temporary (until you get dedicated tablets/kiosks) QR code and have the clients sign in via their personal device [See Tips on QR by J. Pickels ]
Using ShopMonkey As A Silent Salesperson
3. You can utilize dedicated “Cashwrap” tablets and have clients check in for their appointments directly on the tablet(s)
1. When scheduling clients via phone, simply add basic information (Name, number, vehicle, job) to APPOINTMENTS.
What’s the process?
Increase Your Sales
3. By capturing Email information, we link to our marketing drip campaign e orts to ensure constant contact with clients, even after the sale
1. It captures important information that you NEED to grow your business, such as Email and Zip Codes
6. You can send a direct link (or QR Code) to your clients via text and/or Email
So, how do you use this feature?
2. When the customer comes in for their appointment, have them “Check In” on your kiosk. This will automatically add them to your Upper Left Hand Corner Estimates in your Shopmonkey Work ow. Now you can “Drop and Drag” the customer in your work ow as you normally would.
2. You can customize the name of the form with your individual store information
This is an EASY and repeatable process to help streamline your short and long-term marketing goals, which will absolutely lead to more sales. Adopting this process (even starting with a scannable QR code) will help alleviate some unnecessary pressure on your front-end salespeople and help with overall “work ow” e ciency.
Happy (Silent) Selling!

Additionally, if you are Special Ordering Vehicle Speci c parts and are requiring a deposit, you can text and/or Email your client a direct weblink (or QR code) so they can complete the form for you. Which will also add to your Estimates column in your work ow.

For starters, you will need to make sure your “Work Request Form” is setup properly in Shop Monkey (see article on Using ShopMonkey As A Silent Salesperson by Robb Bagnall). Once you have created your work request form copy the web address/url by clicking on the “Copy URL” button.
Using the steps above simply nd the appropriate web address for your stores landing page for reviews (either Google or Facebook or both) and copy the URL so you can create a new QR code. Then show o your work! Below is an example of one in a waiting area that customers can scan and nd on Facebook.
INSIGHT Quarterly Success Newsletter Q3 - 2022
Training and Tips on QR Codes
Next you will need to nd a QR code generator online. We recommend QR code Monkey as it’s free and pretty simple to use. https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/
Here you will paste the URL/Web address that you just copied from Shop Monkey into the “Your URL” bar on the QRcode-Monkey website. Once you are nished customizing your QR code, click on create QR code. In our example, we downloaded the QR code as a PDF le.
Training & Tips
In conclusion, it’s still better for you to have a shop tablet or check- in kiosk as you’re able to gather inspection pictures and videos as well as use it to take pictures before and after for social media. The method above, however, can be used when and if your tablet is down or you’re waiting to receive one. As for reviews, the easier you make it for the customer to leave you a review the more likely they will!
Now that you’ve mastered creating a QR code what else can you use them for? How about making it easier for customers to leave you a review? Or maybe connect with you on social media?
Now that you have the QR code, you can open it, print it, and stick it, on your sales tower! Now when your customers come in they can scan the code, with their device, and it will take them straight to the work request form. They ll out their information and once they are done, it will pop up in your work ow section of shop monkey. Now you can create their estimate and make an appointment, with no worries of having the proper contact information!
In this article we will go over how to put QR codes and the customer to work for you! This will help your shop run more e ciently and have fewer clerical issues when setting up new customers!
Our two main topics or uses of the QR code in this article will be: having a customer “check in” when they arrive at your shop and leaving a review as they leave your shop.
