Are your dealer Sales Managers great at coaching their staff? Or not? It's a tough question. Most have never received proper training on "how to coach". Most learnt ideas from their own supervisors. We think the main role of Sales Manager is to deliver a result for the dealership. Yes - true - but the underlying way to execute that is to get the best out of their team. Modern sport gives us plenty of examples where Art and Science combine to reduce skill gaps and improve attitudes. Professional coaches no longer rely just on "gut instincts". Those days are long gone. So how are your managers adapting to the new world and - in particular - a new generation (or two) of younger sales staff? Ri-gnr8 One is a Sales and F&I Management platform with the ONLY embedded coaching tools for auto dealer sales managers. So if you want your managers to do better, make sure they have the right tools for the job and build a competitive advantage.

Pricing to market is a highly effective strategy that seeks to maximise margin and stock turn. 📈 To truly capitalise on this strategy dealers need to consider local retail pricing alongside national guides to gain an edge on local competition. Our VRM 360 solution helps you do this with a single view of multiple data sources. 🙌 Learn more about how you can complete all your essential valuation, pricing and history checks in one easy to use app: https://lnkd.in/gUbg7hKb #OneAutoAPI #VRM360 #LocalRetailPricing #AutomotiveData

Our Market View identifies how the average price of a used car increased in April for the first time this year, following a succession of monthly dips. Prices averaged £16,964, a month-on-month rise of 1% (or £146), but down 9% year-on-year from £18,564. Despite this downward movement, average prices are still up 8% versus pre-pandemic levels. https://lnkd.in/dTBh8MdE
