🎙️ Welcome to the SudsToSuccess Podcast
Your hosts - Andrew St-Pierre & Ercan Hurmuzlu

Where bold ideas bubble up, and real success stories pour out.

🔥 A DETAILED DUAL THREAT — SHOP + MOBILE DOMINATION

Running one detailing business is a challenge.

Running two — a shop operation and a mobile setup — takes skill, systems, and pure dedication.

In this episode, Latif Sabbagh, the powerhouse behind Delivered Detailing, breaks down exactly how he manages both sides of his growing empire. From process automation to team leadership, Latif reveals the systems that help him dominate both the streets and the shop floor.

💡 THE POWER OF SYSTEMS: WHY SOPs CHANGE EVERYTHING

When your Detailing Business Scales, Chaos is just one missed process away. That’s where SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) come in and this Episode dives deep into how to build, refine, and follow them ~

Latif, Andrew, and Ercan share how structured workflows don’t just keep things tidy , they Build consistency, Save Time, and Protect your Profit margins.

Whether you’re wiping down dashboards or booking a Ceramic Coating, SOPs keep you on track and your customers wowed every single time.

📋 FROM HANDS-ON TO HANDS-FREE — AUTOMATION THAT SELLS

Sales is the heartbeat of any detailing business.

But what happens when your time is stretched thin between buffing cars and managing calls?

Latif reveals how he automates his lead follow-ups using tools like GoHighLevel, saving hours while increasing close rates.

Andrew and Ercan share their own secret weapon — an AI-powered CRM that texts leads instantly, follows up for days, and even analyzes missed calls.

👉 Imagine missing a call... and still closing the sale.

That’s the power of smart automation.

📞 CALLS, FOLLOW-UPS & THE “DOUBLE DIAL” STRATEGY

Ever heard of the Double Dial Method?

It’s simple, brilliant, and surprisingly effective — call once, hang up, call again immediately.

Latif swears by it. It turns missed calls into conversations and skeptical leads into bookings. But the Suds crew doesn’t stop there — they break down how to blend manual effort with automation to create the perfect sales rhythm that keeps your schedule packed.

THE COATING CONVERSATION — PROFIT, PROMISES & LIFETIME TRAPS

Ceramic coatings can be a goldmine... or a trap.Latif shares how he first sold “lifetime” coatings, thinking it was a great marketing hook — until Andrew and Ercan revealed the hidden downside: You’re locking yourself out of future sales.

💡 The takeaway?

Sell long-term value, not “forever.”

Eight years sounds honest. “Lifetime” sounds final.

⚙️ BUILDING A BUSINESS THAT RUNS WITHOUT YOU

Andrew and Ercan challenge Latif (and every listener) to automate themselves out of their own jobs — not to leave, but to lead better. Because when your business can run without you, that’s when you’re truly running it.

SOPs → Automations → Systems → Training.

They’re not just fancy buzzwords — they’re your freedom plan.

🧠 THE AI ADVANTAGE — LEVERAGING TECH LIKE A PRO

Latif also opens up about experimenting with AI tools to analyze competitors, spark marketing ideas, and identify growth gaps. From finding slow seasons to spotting local weaknesses, AI is becoming the silent advisor behind smart detailers.

As Andrew puts it:

“It’s like having a second brain for your business — one that doesn’t sleep.”

💬 REAL TALK. REAL BUSINESS. REAL SUCCESS.

What makes this episode truly shine isn’t just the tips , it’s the mindset. You’ll hear laughter, lessons, and raw stories about burnout, breakthroughs, and balancing it all. Because at the end of the day, detailing isn’t just about cars , it’s about building something that lasts.

🚀 YOUR TAKEAWAY

✔️ Systemize your business — every step, every wipe, every sale.

✔️ Automate what slows you down.
