Marketing Coach Thom Tschetter solves sales and marketing problems.

Thom’s fascination with sales and marketing began with door-to-door sales during high school and college. Thom describes how sales helped solve an early-life challenge with this light-hearted reflection, “After two years of playing college football, my lack of size, speed, and skills brought my playing days to an end. No football meant no scholarship, so I paused my education for a stint in the military. The GI Bill and various sales jobs provided the money and flexibility I needed to complete my degree in Economics and Marketing.”

In 1981, Thom opened The Transmission Factory in Marysville, Washington. He quipped, “This was an unlikely career choice because I had no mechanical skills or knowledge. I didn’t know the difference between a (- +) negative and positive screwdriver or which end to hold on to, but I knew how to sell. I just needed to learn how to speak car.” In 1996, The Transmission Factory was selected as The Blue Chip Enterprise’s Number One Small Business in Washington State and in their National Top 10.

In August 1992, the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) asked Thom to teach Sales, Marketing, and Management Seminars that mirrored his company’s practices and to write a business column in GEARS Magazine. While still the CEO of The Transmission Factory, Thom began presenting seminars throughout North America and still writes his GEARS Magazine column called Up Your Business. 

Since selling his company in 2005, Thom has enjoyed, what he calls his encore career, helping thousands of repair shops achieve greater success. ATRA surprised Thom with a Lifetime Achievement Award at its 2022 International Powertrain Expo.

With over 40 years of field testing and experimentation, Thom has developed and copyrighted the FIMSFully Integrated Marketing System © to address the auto repair industry’s marketing challenge. “How do we market something people don’t want, even when they need it?”

Thom Tschetter has been my coach, mentor, and friend for over 30 years. He has incredible insight into solving management and marketing challenges. Thom has merged the unique talents of two other marketing experts, Carl Borsani of GraphicHome Design & Marketing, LLC and Birdie Patterson of Bird’s iSocial Marketing. I know both of them and think highly of their talents – Carl’s built three websites for me.

Combining the skillset of the three of them, it’s unlikely that there’s a business challenge they can’t resolve.
