Making Your Customer the Hero: Lessons from OptSpot at ROADMAP 2025
In this ROADMAP 2025 preview episode of Conversations with ICA, we speak with Josh Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer at Opspot and leader of the upcoming StoryBrand Essentials: Making Your Customer the Hero workshop. This hands-on session will take place on Day 1: PEOPLE of ROADMAP, November 3 in Dallas, as part of the Marketing track.
One story Josh shares? An operator who simplified their signage after hearing Josh and Donald Miller speak at The Car Wash Show, resulting in a 20% increase in top-wash sales. The difference came from clear communication, not flashy offers.
Throughout the episode, Josh emphasizes that you don’t need to overhaul your brand or redesign your business — just shift your perspective. Operators will walk away from the ROADMAP workshop with a refreshed elevator pitch and a practical messaging structure they can apply immediately across signage, websites, social media, team training, and more.
📌 The goal? Turn everyday customers into loyal advocates by communicating in a way that builds trust and reduces decision fatigue.
