Educational Seminars Institute (ESi) will offer two sessions: "Hiring 101" and "Internal Sales from Technician to Service Advisor" at the upcoming Automotive Service & Repair Week (ASRW), Oct. 10-13, at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans.

The "Hiring 101" session will include how to develop better hiring practices and relieve the stress of hiring a new employee, as well as where to look for employees, how to use testing for better results and setting expectations. It will be held Oct. 10, from 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m., in Room 209.
In "Internal Sales from Technician to Service Advisor," participants will learn about internal sales, and the processes and procedures between service advisors and technicians that make shops successful.
