Fixed ops training for powersport dealers
Your service department is idling.
Most dealers are sitting on money they can’t see. Powersport Academy trains your service, parts and sales teams to open the throttle, and many stores double their service revenue doing it.

The real problem
Brilliant people. Never trained.
Smart, driven people work in our industry, and most of them were never actually trained. Everyone assumes they were. That assumption is costing your store hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When Kurt ran training for Ducati and Suzuki, dealers’ number one complaint wasn’t the content. It was the cost of sending people away to get it. Powersport Academy fixes both: training your team can attend from the store, spread out over time so it actually sticks.
The program
Four gears. One fast shop.
Online courses, live coaching and a scoreboard your managers will actually read. Get the culture right and the processes follow, so your team runs the business instead of the business running them.
01
Courses
Self-paced training for every seat in the store: service, parts, phones, sales, leadership and the KPIs that tie them together.
02
Live coaching
Real-time sessions on your store’s real problems, so the course material turns into action on the shop floor.
03
Whole-team access
A full year of unlimited courses and monthly live sessions for your entire staff, plus a community of dealers to learn from.
04
The Heartbeat report
A KPI tracker that links what your team does every day to what shows up on the financial statement.

Who’s teaching
From the racetrack to the service drive.
Kurt von Ahnen went from road racer to service manager to training director for Ducati and Suzuki. Track records count on and off the track, and winning is still the focus.
Today he consults with dealers in powersports and marine, and he still can’t stand watching good stores sit on millions of dollars they don’t know they have.
Confidence breeds competence, and your customers can feel it.

20 years of feedback
From people who’ve seen him work.
When he came to Ducati he brought a new standard of expertise in training for Fixed Operations, Technical and Sales training. This strongly elevated the company and enabled growth where there previously it had been limited.
Erik MadsenOn Kurt’s time at Ducati
From new product launches to sales training and everything in between I knew I could always count on him to provide my network with the best training possible, ultimately giving them the tools they needed for success.
