Body Bangin'

Body Bangin'

On Body Bangin' we will be talking about all things "body"...auto body that is! I'm Micki Woods, a marketing and business growth specialist for the collision industry. As a former shop owner I understand that there is so much information out there that sometimes it seems like we are trying to drink out of a fire hose, yet we are so thirsty for quality information. On the Body Bangin' podcast we will have a fun time while talking about small and large topics with a variety of guests from around the globe. I will break things down each episode to help you leave with something tangible you can take back to your collision center and make a difference. If you have any topics you'd like me to cover or if you would like to be a guest on Body Bangin' then please email my team at admin@mickiwoodsmarketing.com.
