Ep. 58: Technology Shifts Create Potential for Profits with Russ Ramsey

Today’s guest is Russ Ramsey, CEO of Blue Vista Data Systems. Russ’ background includes a lot of time focused on supplying the collision repair industry… so while Russ knows the industry and knows it well, he described himself as an “outsider on the inside” of the industry. Today, a lot of the conversation revolves around safety, training, reducing liability, and ensuring proper repairs. While past guests have discussed different ways to bring in more business, Russ walks through opportunities to generate more profit to the business you already have. We hope you enjoy the show!
