q PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Director, Shannon Becker. Shannon has been with the association for many years and has truly shaped our organization to serve our membership from our office on Front Street in Harrisburg. We appreciate all Shannon has done and the additional role she has taken on over the past several months. If you are in the office, please take a moment to thank her for all of her hard work.

NOAH MELAMED, PRESIDENT MIDATLANTIC REGIONAL IADA OWNER, TICKET TO RIDE AUTO SALES FINANCE, LANCASTER, PA As many of you know there has been a lot of activity at MARIADA this year.

We have two pieces of legislation at the capitol in Harrisburg, our title office is expanding and hitting the road, we are planning updates to our building to better serve our member base, and we have continued to push back on government overreach into our industry. All of this has been moving forward and we have been thriving under the leadership of our board and our Associate Executive

Our association has expanded to allow Shannon to focus on the work being done for our dealers in our offices. We’re excited to announce that John Odorisio has joined MARIADA as our new Executive Director. Many of you may know John from his former posting with Manheim Auto Auctions in Bordentown, Ohio, Chicago, Lakeland and Milwaukee.

John is working hard with our lobbyists and legislators to help shape the laws in PA, MD, and DE to assist our industry.

John will also be out on the road visiting dealers and auctions around the tristate.

Please, if you see him at your local auction, stop to say hello and let him

know what your needs and concerns are as a dealer so we can serve you and make our states a more friendly place for the automotive industry as a whole.

MARIADA represents all independent automobile dealers in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. It is led by a board of dealers just like yourself all looking to make the states we live in more friendly to our industry and protect dealers from predatory action.

We have successfully blocked harmful legislation, facilitated the increase of fees paid to dealers for the expense of selling a vehicle, made titling a vehicle more efficient, and we have driven legislation that helps us do more with our businesses. John’s background in our industry makes him the perfect fit as the face of MARIADA, and we are going to continue to drive our agenda forward with John at the helm.

Finally, I’d like to thank all the dealers in PA, MD, and DE for your support over the last two years. My time as the board president of MARIADA is coming to an end.

How Subprime & Independent Dealers Can Digitize Their Back-Office

By Tim Yalich, Head of Auto Strategy, Wolters Kluwer Make no mistake, while franchised auto dealers continue to grab most headlines addressing rapidly changing and consumer-facing digital retailing experiences, independent and used dealers (including those known for Buy-Here-PayHere financing) remain a constant pillar of the industry, serving customers who are focused on used vehicles, or those with less-than-stellar credit or budget.

What’s unique about many of these independent and BHPH dealers is that they serve as both the car dealership and finance provider. Many of these maintain a line of credit from a warehouse lender so they can offer on-the-spot loans to car shoppers who might have been turned down from traditional captive or prime lending institutions.

According to a report from Experian Automotive, the strategy has continued to prove successful: Approximately 39.9% of used vehicle loans are accounted for by BHPH dealers.

These companies have also been effective in securitizing loans for sale into the secondary market. In the past, their securitization efforts involved a significant amount of physical paperwork – pallets of loan documents manually gathered and physically shipped to a purchasing lender. However, with drastically changing industry best practices centered around faster transaction times, a more digital transaction process, and increasing regulatory compliance requirements, these dealers must find a way to move from paper-based processes to a more digitized one in their back office.

Subprime Lenders & Independent/Used Dealers Must Leave the Paper World Today, many subprime lenders and

independent/used dealers hold paper documents in a secure area in a physical building. Then, before any initial securitization, the dealer must ship pallets of files to the lender and wait for them to make all inputs before closing on the securitization. Once that custodial relationship is established, the dealer would ship on a regular schedule, but a lot of paper is still getting shipped, which adds time to the check-in process.

Consider that there is a lot happening in the timeline to complete a securitization.

With a paper-based process, independent and used dealers need to get their files to the party of interest well ahead of closing.

That can be severely problematic when today’s process must move at a more expedited pace.

Today’s fast-paced multi-channel origination entails tracking, auditing, and analyzing tasks across various digital and analog locations. And this can create operational and business bottlenecks for warehouse lending partners and negatively impact transfer and securitization for secondary market delivery.

In addition to these needs from the dealer, subprime auto finance providers are increasingly finding that they need new, sophisticated, agile technology systems that enable e-Contracting and posttransaction asset management across an ever-growing array of channels.

Today’s New Digital Ecosystems Designed for Independents To overcome these challenges, subprime lenders, third-party providers, and independent and used dealers are leveraging digital ecosystems that are purpose-built to handle the auto finance industry’s origination channel diversity.

This eliminates the complexities of managing various multi-channel assets

post-execution and drastically reduces time and operational costs.

The process allows for improved visibility of assets, quick expansion of the investor and lender pool, agility, and the ability to scale quickly and dynamically.

It also provides the assurance of legal and regulatory compliance, enabling lenders to securely manage digital assets throughout their entire post-execution lifecycle through an electronic collateral control agreement (ECCA).

This advanced process will offer centralized data management across an entire portfolio, allowing automotive professionals to view metadata across various origination channels and asset classes.

It will help to control and track access, manage status changes, and transfer control of digital documents while utilizing sophisticated granular controls and permissions to allow for departmental separation and visibility. All of this will result in improved speed and process efficiency, and for lenders particularly, it will free up capital through syndication, sale, or securitization.

Subprime, independent, and used dealers continue to serve a vitally important role in today’s automotive ecosystems. With this convergence of back-office processes from paper to digital, they will take their next step into tomorrow and solidify what should remain a promising future of profitable growth and service to their local communities.

Solving Customer Experience Challenges: It’s Time for 21st Century Customer Success

By Michael Fiorini, Regional Manager for Vanguard Dealer Services

As a result of digital engagement opportunities, there have been significant changes that have rapidly evolved the automotive customer experience.

Consumers simply won’t settle for good enough. A large majority do their own research and due diligence, knowing exactly what they want and expect from a dealership. For dealers, understanding the expectations of these customers is what makes a great versus good versus mediocre customer experience. All having a huge impact on your dealership’s culture and on your profits.

market sales that focuses on the customer experience. Customers want to develop a relationship wherein they feel assured that their needs are being met. Staff expertise, service drive accessibility, data privacy and protection are all key factors in today’s purchase process.

Vehicle performance and price is still of primary importance, but a positive customer experience has become critical as well to make an initial sale, to start a relationship, and to make that person your customer for life. Today’s buyers have set higher standards for dealers and the dealership experience, both online and in the store. New consumers are looking for connected and virtual experiences that are efficient and timely. No one wants to spend hours in the dealership to purchase a vehicle. Research, in fact, suggests that after 90 minutes in a dealership, the purchase experience declines along with the customer’s ratings.

ANTICIPATE YOUR CUSTOMERS NEEDS

Disengagement, not driving customer loyalty to a store, makes the entire sales model precarious. There needs to be a more data driven approach to sales and after

For dealerships, understanding the expectations of customers is what makes a great versus good versus mediocre customer experience.

Does your sales staff make customers feel valued? Do they listen to and understand their needs? Do they show immediate action and provide solutions? Understanding the customer experience is a core business strategy for dealerships today.

It’s essential that customers are provided with factual information, especially about financial issues. Make it personal. Build a strong connection by training your staff to listen and get to know the customer.

Salespersons need to earn trust. Be transparent. Provide legitimate assurances.

The sales force needs to have a thorough understanding of the products being sold,

8 | MIDATLANTIC DEALER NEWS | MIDATLANTICAUTODEALERSUNITED.ORG • SEPTEMBER 2022

the vehicles, how financing works, ancillary products, F&I product benefits, and more. For Internet sales and required return calls/texts, is your team doing their homework before speaking to customers and getting back to them in a reasonable and timely manner?

Did you know that a sale is seven times more likely to occur if a customer is responded to in less than 60 minutes?

RISK REDUCTION FOR DEALERS As a dealer, you should evaluate the level of support you are receiving from your partners and consultants. For example, skilled, knowledgeable representatives should be providing you with support by way of F&I training and service training.

Are your employees being trained effectively on how to handle customers, claims, and more?

How often do you see your representative, your trainer, and when are they present at your dealership?

Are they experts - helping your organization with everything from conducting interviews and staffing, to claims, to choosing the proper reinsurance structure to fit your long-term goals? Regardless of whether you sell the factories programs or reinsure through a third-party administrator, you’re sending money to someone. What are you getting in return? Are they working for it? You expect excellence and hard work

from your employees. The partners you choose should be held to those same high standards. Continuity is important.

Strive to attain great support. Like your customers, you shouldn’t settle for less.

Align yourself with someone who knows your business inside and out, can see issues coming up, and solve for them strategically and soundly. Find support for analyzing your processes and your products, and helping you define and develop areas within the business. The partner should provide an action plan and, importantly, offer local support, flexibility, and timeliness - being there and being present.

Further plaguing dealers is the issue of becoming noncompliant. Deal audits must be consistent on a monthly ongoing basis, with an in-depth quarterly audit process.

Your F&I partners who are not fulfilling this obligation are not providing you with optimal service. Look for a partner that provides monthly finance meetings, recaps with management both verbally and written, asks what the dealers’ agenda is and how can I help, understanding your goals, objectives and setting expectation and road map on how to get there.

When aligning yourself with a partner, check references and ask your colleagues for recommendations. First and foremost, your partners need to set up your dealership and your staff for success.

TRAINING YOUR STAFF IS IMPORTANT AND ONGOING Untrained staff will have a negative impact on customer service. Support by way of oncea-month finance-only training is simply not enough. Your staff training needs to include sales skills, customer service, product knowledge, internal systems and processes, technology, and automotive compliance.

Training is most effective when it is preplanned. As a first step, the needs of the dealership and its customers should be identified, and how they relate to the functions of specific departments and individuals. That is the best way to assure they are managing your customers akin to your vision and are developing relationships for your brand. n

q LEGISLATIVE UPDATE

FY 2022-23 Pennsylvania State Budget Adopted

By Tyler Burke, Associate, Milliron & Goodman Government Relations Early in July, the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed a $42.8 billion FY 20222023 budget. While the state budget is a yearly occurrence in Pennsylvania, this year’s budget is being heralded as a victory for every Pennsylvanian.

CORPORATE NET INCOME TAX (CNI):

As part of the budget package, legislators have agreed to reduce Pennsylvania’s CNI from it’s currently 9.99% to 4.99% by 2031.

Starting with a 1% reduction in 2023 and then shifting to .5% reduction over the next 8 years. Pennsylvania currently has the highest flat rate CNI in the country. By reducing the CNI, legislators have set Pennsylvania on a path that will help to bring many more business and jobs to the Commonwealth in the years to come.

RAINY DAY FUND:

Another important aspect of the budget is the further investment of $2.1 billion to the Rainy Day Fund. This fund exists to help the government keep functioning in the event of an emergency or financial catastrophe. With this year’s investment, the total value of the Rainy Day fund has increased to approximately $5 billion or 42.6 days of General Fund expenses. By adding funds to the Rainy Day Fund, legislators are also helping to improve Pennsylvania’s debt rating and make our debt less expensive.

MOTOR LICENSE FUND (MLF):

Legislators have also reduced the amount of MLF dollars used to support the Pennsylvania State Police to $500 million, which frees up $175 million annually for road and bridge projects. The State Police are not losing funding. The costs are being shifted from the MLF to the General Fund.

With the passage of the budget, the Pennsylvania General Assembly is in recess until mid-September. As this year is an election year, we anticipate a limited number of session days this fall. With the possibility of limited session days, PIADA’s Legislative Committee remains hard at work advocating for the following pieces of legislation: House Bill 2372 (Schmitt-R): This legislation authorizes a wholesale vehicle auction, or salvor, to remove vehicles that have been abandoned by dealers after 3 business days of the vehicle remaining without consent. It would also authorize the auction to charge and collect storage fees, as well as the releasing or recovering costs of the abandoned vehicle. This legislation passed the House by a vote of 109 to 90 and is now before the Senate Transportation Committee for its consideration.

House Bill 2290 (Isaacson-D): This legislation adds catalytic converter to the definition of “secondary metal.” Under this legislation, a person commits the offense of theft of secondary metal (i.e., catalytic converter) if the person unlawfully takes or attempts to take possession of, carries away or exercises unlawful control over any secondary metal with intent to deprive the rightful owner thereof. This legislation was reported from committee and is now before the full House for its consideration.

House Bill 1092 (Kaufman-R): This legislation further provides for identification requirements for sale of scrap materials to scrap processors and recycling facility operators. It also creates a new process for scrap processors or recycling facilities before purchasing a catalytic converter. This legislation was reported from committee and is now before the full House for its consideration.

The House returns to voting session on September 12th and the Senate on September 19th. PIADA’s Legislative Committee will continue to push these bills and keep you apprised of any further developments. n

4 Ways Employee Retention Benefits Your Dealership

By Mary Anne Hoggan The pandemic labor phenomenon known as the ‘Great Resignation’ is predicted to continue into 2022 – almost half of employees are looking for a new job or plan to soon. This means, keeping your best talent is critical to your success. But how do you do that? And why does it matter?

Here are four ways employee retention benefits your dealership.

WHAT IS EMPLOYEE RETENTION? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? At its simplest, employee retention is how long an employee stays at your dealership.

The time someone stays at a given job has been dropping steadily for years, and most recently a study revealed that most people stay just over four years at a single employer.

A recent survey of the up-and-coming Gen-Z workers shows they want to stay on the job only 3.72 years on average, and 25% of those surveyed said they would only spend 1-2 years on a job before moving on. But time spent finding new employees and training them is money lost, and there are other disadvantages to high turnover, as well.

These costs and benefits have driven many dealerships to laser focus on employee retention.

12 | MIDATLANTIC DEALER NEWS | MIDATLANTICAUTODEALERSUNITED.ORG • SEPTEMBER 2022

In the wake of COVID, many businesses are understaffed. A 2021 study by CareerPlug suggests that 50% of employees have considered leaving their current job in the last 12 months. Feeling overworked due to exiting staff is a valid reason why employees may look elsewhere for employment right now.

1. REDUCED COSTS The first and most common benefit of employee retention is reduced costs. Think about the many steps to recruiting that cost time and money: • Posting an ad online and vetting potential candidates.

• Interviewing and onboarding, including paying for items like uniforms, nametags, and office equipment/setup.

• Recruiting and referral incentives.

• Training (It can take six months to one year to truly learn a role and the organization.)

• Repeating the recruiting cycle if a bad hire is made.

According to a 2017 CareerBuilder Survey, 74% of employers say they have hired the wrong person for a position and companies lost an average of $14,900 on every bad hire.

These are all costs that can be eliminated or reduced significantly by retaining your current employees. But retention is about more than just your bottom line.

2. IMPROVED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE You save money and time by keeping your best talent. The other beneficiary of employee retention is your customer.

If a customer knows and likes your employees, he or she will likely be a repeat customer, from parts and service to purchasing vehicles.

But another part of this is customer expectations and the kind of experience they want to have at your dealership.

The more consistent the process and the people they deal with, the better it is for them. And satisfied customers make for a more profitable dealership.

Experienced employees provide those consistent experiences. In addition, they understand the business and how your team works together. The better the teamwork, the smoother your operations

Retaining an experienced team that works well together supports a strong work environment and employer brand. It’s vital to a dealership’s business success.

will be. A new employee will take time to become part of your team.

3. INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY Losing employees hurts your bottom line and your dealership’s performance. The more often employees leave, the more productivity will be disrupted. While the trainer and trainee are working together, everyone around them has to pick up the slack or certain things may take longer or simply not get done.

Even if a new hire is an excellent fit, it will take the individual several months to reach his or her maximum productivity after training. This means it will take even longer for your team to return to full strength – impacting staff and customer service.

The simple solution is prevention through employee retention programs. A high performing team runs smoothly and efficiently, maintaining a dealership’s sales and reputation.

4. IMPROVED EMPLOYEE MORALE Studies show that happier employees are more productive and more likely to stay.

Keeping employees happy has many facets, including a strong employer brand (what prospective employees see that attracts them to work for you in the first place).

Creating a positive employee brand or culture goes far beyond sales commissions.

Happy employees are recognized, listened to, work in a positive environment, and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

HOW TO INCREASE EMPLOYEE RETENTION Positive culture, competitive compensation and benefits, ongoing training, and career development are all methods to retaining the best talent for your dealership. It’s also important to offer recognition where it is due.

In addition, when you must hire, you can attract good candidates by offering an employee referral program, screening potential job candidates well, and hiring the right people in the first place. The wrong hire can be extremely damaging to company culture, and the right one can propel you to the next level.

Remember, employee turnover not only hurts you, but it also benefits your competition.

RETENTION AS A CULTURE Employee retention is a part of your culture – part of your employer brand. It is unique to you. The more you show that you care for employees and their advancement, the more they will care about you as an employer. Investing in them means they also invest in you.

To support those goals, NIADA has supported the independent used auto dealer community for more than 75 years. They offer ongoing sales and other dealership training that can help you find, and keep, the best in the business.

And there’s never a downside to that. n

Here’s our monthly article on selected legal developments we think might interest the auto sales, finance, and leasing world.

This month, the developments involve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Reserve Board, the National Credit Union Association and the Federal Trade Commission. As usual, our article features the “Case(s) of the Month” and our “Compliance Tip.” Note that this column does not offer legal advice. Always check with your lawyer to learn how what we report might apply to you or if you have questions.

FEDERAL DEVELOPMENTS CFPB Issues Opinion on FCRA Obligations. On July 7, the CFPB issued an advisory opinion outlining certain obligations of consumer reporting agencies and users of consumer reports under Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Noting that some CRAs use insufficient matching procedures, such as name-only matching, which can result in consumer reports being provided to persons without a permissible purpose to receive them, the advisory opinion explains that the permissible purposes listed in Section 604 are consumer specific and affirms that a CRA may not provide a consumer report to a user unless it has reason to believe that all of the consumer report information it includes pertains to the consumer who is the subject of the user’s request. In addition, the advisory opinion clarifies that it is unlawful to provide consumer reports of multiple individuals as “possible matches” where the requester only has a permissible purpose to obtain a consumer

report on one individual. The CFPB notes that disclaimers will not cure a failure to have a reason to believe that a user has a permissible purpose for a consumer report.

The advisory opinion also reminds users of consumer reports that Section 604 strictly prohibits them from obtaining a consumer report without a permissible purpose for doing so. Finally, the advisory opinion outlines some of the criminal liability provisions in the FCRA. CFPB Releases Blog on Auto Debt, Delinquency Rates, and Repossession Rates of Young Servicemembers. On July 18, the CFPB released a blog post highlighting its prior research on the amount of auto debt young servicemembers carry, as well as delinquency and repossession rates among young servicemembers. The blog post also highlights the Department of Justice’s recent enforcement actions addressing illegal repossession practices under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act and states the CFPB’s expectations that creditors, servicers, and repossession agents adhere to the SCRA’s requirements, especially when using repossession technologies like starter-interrupt devices, GPS locators, and license plate recognition.

FRB Proposes Rule Implementing LIBOR Act. On July 19, the FRB invited comments on a proposed rule that would implement the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act. The proposed rule would establish benchmark replacements for certain contracts that use the LIBOR reference rate and do not have terms that provide for the use of a clearly defined and practicable replacement benchmark rate when the LIBOR reference rate in its current form is discontinued on June 30, 2023. The proposed rule also would provide additional definitions and clarifications consistent with the AIR (LIBOR) Act. Comments are due by August 29, 2022.

14 | MIDATLANTIC DEALER NEWS | MIDATLANTICAUTODEALERSUNITED.ORG • SEPTEMBER 2022

Board approved a proposed rule on cyber incident notification requirements. The proposed rule would require a federally insured credit union that experiences a reportable cyber incident to report the incident to the NCUA as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours after the credit union reasonably believes that it has experienced a reportable cyber incident.

This notification requirement provides an early alert to the NCUA and does not require credit unions to provide a detailed incident assessment within the 72-hour time frame. Comments are due on or before September 26, 2022.

National Associations Request Delay of Safeguards Rule.

Without a delay or extension, the applicability date for the Safeguards Final Rule will be December 9, 2022.

CASE(S) OF THE MONTH Court Refused to Compel Arbitration Where Parties Signed Conflicting Arbitration Agreements in Connection with Online Car Purchase: In connection with her online car purchase, the buyer signed a number of documents electronically, including a purchase agreement, a retail installment contract, and a GAP waiver addendum, all of which contained arbitration provisions. The buyer sued the dealership from which she bought the car and the assignee of the RIC. The defendants moved to compel arbitration. The buyer opposed the motion, arguing that there was no meeting of the minds with regard to the issue of arbitration. The RIC identified Continued on next page

Continued from previous page the dealership as the dealer and contained an arbitration agreement providing that the buyer may choose any arbitrator subject to the approval of the defendants and that the defendants are required to pay up to $5,000 in arbitration costs. The purchase agreement incorporated the RIC, including the arbitration agreement.

However, the GAP waiver addendum, which stated that it amended and became part of the RIC, identified another company as the dealer and contained an arbitration agreement that did not specify which party was responsible for paying arbitration fees and costs and provided that the administrator would select one of at least three arbitrators that the buyer identified. Because there was a conflict between at least two of the arbitration agreements over responsibility for fees and how the arbitrator would be chosen and because there was no indication as to the relationship between the dealership named as the dealer in the RIC and the other company named as the dealer in the GAP waiver addendum, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington agreed with the buyer that the parties did not agree on the terms of arbitration and denied the motion to compel. See

Bendickson v. Vroom, Inc., 2022 U.S. Dist.

LEXIS 114134 (W.D. Wash. June 28, 2022).

COMPLIANCE TIP Our Case of the Month highlights issues that we’ve harped on in prior CARLAWYER© reports regarding arbitration provisions.

This Case of the Month highlights how conflicting arbitration provisions can be fatal to compelling arbitration. The purchase agreement, the retail installment contract and a GAP waiver addendum all contained arbitration provisions.

However, the arbitration provision in the GAP waiver addendum identified another company as the dealer, contained an arbitration agreement that did not specify which party was responsible for paying arbitration fees and costs (thus differing from the arbitration provision in the RIC) and provided that the administrator would select one of at least three arbitrators that the buyer identified. The court agreed with the consumer that “there was no meeting of the minds” between the parties because: (i) there was a conflict between at least two of the arbitration agreements over responsibility for fees and how the arbitrator would be chosen, and (ii) there was no indication as to the relationship

between the dealership named as the dealer in the RIC and the other company named as the dealer in the GAP waiver addendum. As the parties didn’t agree on the terms of arbitration, the motion to compel arbitration was denied. This is yet another reminder to read your arbitration agreement(s) (you are using an arbitration agreement, right?) in your consumer-facing documents and see if you have conflicting terms or requirements.

4 Marketing Strategies for Overcoming Inventory Shortages

By Dealer.com Every dealership is dealing with inventory acquisition challenges. It’s an industry-wide issue that has had a profound impact on profitability. And while some dealers are choosing to “wait out” the inventory shortage, others are succeeding now. Implement these four auto dealer marketing strategies to face down inventory obstacles and overcome supply chain challenges at your dealership.

Strategy 1: Evolve Campaign Types

Focus auto advertising on inventory acquisition. Promote that you’ll pay top dollar for used vehicles.

Strategy 2: Widen Your Geo-Target

As inventory shrinks, expand your audience beyond normal boundaries with messaging about buying used vehicles.

Strategy 3: Add Web Content

Use your dealership’s website to advertise acquisition efforts with home page banners, service page banners, and trade-in reminders.

Strategy 4: Dealership-Wide Plan

Ensure marketing, sales, and service are all in sync, connecting workflows across departments, to accomplish inventory acquisition goals.

The current inventory shortage is a major challenge, and it’s not going away anytime soon. With these four proven marketing strategies, you can outlast current supply chain challenges to keep profits high, even as inventory is low. To learn more about these strategies and other tips for acquiring inventory, check out Dealer.com's guide, “Marketing Solutions for Inventory Challenges" (dealer.com/content/guide/marketing-solutions-forinventory-challenges). n MIDATLANTIC DEALER NEWS | MIDATLANTICAUTODEALERSUNITED.ORG • SEPTEMBER 2022 | 19

Optimizing Your Operations to Drive Profit$

BY SHAMEL LEONARD TIP #1: USE SOFTWARE TO SYSTEMIZE OPERATIONS Most dealerships use a DMS. If you aren’t familiar, DMS is Dealer Management Software. A DMS is absolutely essential in managing operations for dealerships of all sizes.

A good DMS will optimize how you purchase inventory, how you manage the reconditioning process, how to market inventory, and everything need to sell a vehicle to a retail or wholesale customer, in state and out of state.

Running a new or even established independent dealership can be overwhelming. There are many decisions to make in a short time, making it challenging to prioritize operations to move your dealership forward strategically.

The top two mistakes I see most new dealerships make are: 1. not properly managing inventory (having the right vehicles or enough inventory), and 2. not controlling costs (protecting profits)!

All dealerships operate similarly by going through the same four steps. We all buy cars, get them cosmetically and mechanically ready to drive, attract buyers, and successfully close and process the sale.

It’s an actual wash, rinse, repeat process with little to no variation. However, there are a lot of strategies to get this done. We all must find the best practices for our revenue goals. So how do you determine what’s best?

Let’s look at the four things you can do today to ensure your dealership is on track to generate significant revenues. With rising gas prices, interest rates, and a possible pending recession, it matters more than ever for auto dealers to protect their investments and, more importantly, their dreams!

It’s best to have a DMS in place before your first sale. If you have sold vehicles without a DMS, you can import data from your previous sales.

A good DMS will also offer additional services or integrate with other software to: • manage customers (CRM), • allow customers to buy their next car easily, maybe even completely online (digital retailing tool), • and run reports to watch the numbers.

TIP #2 ESTABLISH AN IN-HOUSE RECONDITIONING PROCESS For small and startup dealerships, we need a controlled approach to expenses.

Reconditioning is a major expense and is very important in the sales process.

A strategic reconditioning process can add value to inventory, thus bringing higher profits. It’s important to find the most efficient way to do that.

You will be able to focus exclusively on vehicles that fit your niche, improving your operations. You will become an expert at finding cars, fixing cars, and marketing to the perfect buyer for faster sales.

For most small dealerships, a good niche is the cash car market, along with in-house financing referred to as Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH). In the cash car market, the inventory costs are low. It’s also easier to have positive cash flow because cash cars sell more quickly compared to other markets.

The cash car market also tends to not ebb and flow with changing economic conditions, like a recession. Sales tend to be steady in all seasons.

Find your niche!

TIP #4: OPTIMIZE ACQUISITIONS (BUY CARS FROM EVERYWHERE) We have experienced challenges with finding used car inventory. Now more than ever, it’s important to have a system to acquire inventory from sources outside wholesale auctions. Some additional ways to acquire inventory are to: • Ask your current customer base to buy vehicles • Ask your family and friends • Advertise and market to acquire cars from other people and wholesalers • Build relationships with companies that acquire inventory through repossession or trade-in

With an in-house reconditioning process, you can have more control over costs and time to market if managed correctly.

With multiple sources to obtain inventory, you can weather any storm, be it a pandemic or a recession. Start today! Optimize your operations to profit more, protect those profits and operate lean & clean. n

TIP #3: FIND AN INVENTORY NICHE Selecting a niche is a great way to focus your operations to optimize sales. As you further develop your niche, you will learn the specific needs of your inventory and your customers.
