Spreadsheets, spreadsheets, spreadsheets! If only there was something better than spreadsheets to manage your dealership financial analysis? You know the DMS doesn't deliver. That's why you use spreadsheets. If only there was something that gave insight - not just more data? Well - now there is.... Works with any DMS - and anywhere! Board packs, automated management reporting, deeper insight. www.op2ma.com/dbm #financialinsight #autodealers

Dealers, Are you satisfied with your F&I product provider? Training? Profits? Agenda? Are you really, though? Many of the larger corporations are great, but they are a corporation. They have one-size-fits-all approach, and expect that you’ll follow THEIR program? Whose dealership is it? You need more than somebody to review F&I numbers once a month, and push their own products and agenda. Their sole purpose is to generate profit… for them. When you're ready to make the shift to a partnership, we’re ready. We will: •Save you significant money ($3,700/month on average) by allowing you to offer the best products for YOU, not US. •Ensure 100% compliance, as that is our primary focus, not profit. •Provide independent training, with no hidden agendas, or pushing our products. •Partner with you in all aspects of your operation. TAKE YOUR DEALERSHIP BACK WITH Matthew Hilty & Associates.

It's forecast time! What are you going to do different in 2025 to improve results? No business I know of forecasts for a decrease so I know all my Automotive Dealer friends are talking about increasing Sales, ROs and profit in 2025. Here's my question. Do you have a Plan? (No hope is not a plan) What are you going to do differently in 2025? Will it be stronger processes, new technologies, new strategies, increased advertising budgets? The goal should be to find ways to find customers we don't see today, interact with prospects and owners that we currently don't know are in market. Really identify your areas for opportunity and growth...... within your current budget! Check out our resources for some thoughts. https://bit.ly/3YwYOYk #automotive #digitalmarketing #advertising #identityresolution

In 2021, I shared predictions for 2024 and the crucial role CRMs would play. 2024 has been a wild, and the question remains: What’s your strategy for creating lasting relationships with every customer you serve? This video is a reflection on how dealerships can prepare for the future—not just with pricing strategies, but with thoughtful, consistent communication and a culture of customer connection. Takeaway: Treat your CRM as more than a tool. It’s your blueprint for customer loyalty and culture-building in 2024, 2027, and beyond. Let’s keep evolving the way we innovate and evolve the experience using our CRMs. #CRM #CustomerExperience #Video4Victory #DealershipCulture #dealership #automotiveindustry

It's a powerful day to dive into the value of adaptability and innovation. In the ever-changing world of business, especially in automotive dealerships, one of the most essential tools in your kit should be the ability to pivot and innovate. Here's a fresh perspective on embracing change: Anticipate Shifts: Stay informed about trends and emerging technologies in our industry. Anticipation helps you make proactive rather than reactive decisions, giving you a competitive edge. Iterate Continuously: Don’t get too comfortable with what’s working now—always look for ways to iterate. Small, regular adjustments can lead to major breakthroughs over time. Empower Your People: Encourage your team to think creatively. Dedicate time for brainstorming sessions where everyone can contribute ideas, no matter how out-of-the-box they may appear. Celebrate Failures as Learning: Every setback is an opportunity for growth. Understand where things went wrong, adapt, and then get back in the game with renewed strategies. Remember, folks, innovation doesn’t have to be groundbreaking—it just has to be sincere and aligned with your vision. Let’s create and adapt together, making strides toward a future full of possibility! #InnovateToElevate #Adaptability #AutomotiveLeadership

The episode discusses compensation models in Fixed Operations. Some Dealerships maintain strict salary limits for certain positions, regardless of performance. This approach may affect talent retention and department effectiveness. We're curious about your thoughts on this topic. Have you experienced this at your Dealership? Do you know of alternative compensation models that have been effective?

Couple of Dealers are coming to ASOTU CON. It may be too early to say for sure, but this might be one of the largest gatherings of Dealers from a variety of franchises and group sizes outside of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show. I hope YOU are one of them! #automotieindustry #cardealership
