About Plan 4 Profit
PLAN 4 PROFIT is a national one-day training series designed exclusively for Australia’s collision repair industry.
Hosted and presented by Ash Jardine and Jim Damatopoulos, Managing Directors of Bodyshop Recruit & Consulting, the program equips business owners, managers, and estimators with proven strategies to strengthen financial performance and team accountability.
Attendees will learn how to:
✔ Calculate accurate hourly rates using a proprietary calculator developed over three decades.
✔ Reverse engineer estimates for profitability and identify hidden profit leaks.
✔ Implement staff incentive systems that drive performance and retention.
✔ Build monthly reporting frameworks that keep teams accountable and focused on results.
Participants leave each workshop with actionable tools, data-driven insights, and a clear plan to increase margins and achieve long-term profitability.

Why Sponsor Plan 4 Profit?
Delivering a national training event series of this scale takes significant investment — from venue hire and travel to technology, printed materials, and hands-on resources. Your sponsorship makes it possible for Bodyshop Recruit to keep ticket prices accessible for repairers of all sizes — from independent workshops to large MSOs — while delivering a premium, high-impact learning experience.
Our goal for the event is to donate 50% of all profits to The Australian Collision Industry Alliance (ACIA), plus gain leads for prospective members to join the ACIA. You can help support their mission to address staff shortages and build a stronger, more sustainable collision repair workforce. Read more about ACIA here.
