Old School Philosophy

For your staff to understand the basic concepts of foundational knowledge it is essential for ideas of the past to evolve and continue to progress gradually.

Outdated Training

The desire for In-Dealership training is still in high demand, but it must be stimulating and absorbing unlike the routine, “one size fits all” training of the past.

Customers Have Changed

Today’s customers are digitally and socially connected. They expect their purchasing encounters to be simple and tailored around convenience.

Todays Ideas

In today’s rapidly changing and technology-driven world, one of the biggest challenges for Dealerships is having the ability to adjust training accordingly. It is crucial to lean into the developing trends in the industry.

Accountability

Training creates accountability which builds trust and improves performance along with increasing one’s skills and confidence. Your staff is your greatest asset and training should never be considered a perk, but rather a stipulation.

The Average Dealership

A Dealership that does not offer an effective training program keeps average employees. Today’s employees need consistent opportunities to build upon their skills and knowledge. It is the Dealership’s responsibility to provide it.
