Who wants to LEVEL-UP in F&I in 2024??? If you’re a dealer that truly desires growth out of your F&I operations, I WANT TO MEET YOU. Average ALWAYS yields average!!! We are NOT meant to be average. There are less than a handful of LEGIT F&I coaching companies that exist in the market. The market is filled with washed up F&I trainers that have not completed a LIVE retail transaction in decades. Unfortunately they are attempting to train your staff. It’s INSANITY to me. Ascent Dealer Services had a DEEP coaching roster that has the ability to roll up their sleeves and actually take retail transactions. If you want more out of your F&I operations, contact me personally. https://lnkd.in/eti8eyW 618-979-9483 Adam.Marburger@ascentdealerservices.com Ascent ❤️’s F&I Ascent Dealer Services #automotive #automotiveindustry #autoindustry #carsales #cardealers #carbusiness #rv #rvindustry #powersports #marineindustry #coach

It was an honor for me to be able to deliver the C-SALES Sequence 2 training, where the topic of learning for 3 days was creating the best customer contact using the DISC approach method from the first begining day to the last day. As a trainer, this is the first time I found a training material for sales consultants that uses this method in great depth. Generally, behavioral style (DISC) material is usually given during salesmanship training as basic knowledge (1-2 hours duration in a training). This shows that Mercedes-Benz, as a premium and luxury brand, is really concerned about the experience it creates for their prospective customers when interacting with their Sales Consultants. Star is always shining in the sky, therefor we will be delivered our services to become "The Best or Nothing." #training #salestraining #disc #personalitystyles #mercedesbenzid #mercedessalesconsultant #automotivetraining #trainerlife #businesscoach #businessconsultant #inatrac #thebestornothing

Cairns and Townsville this week - including the launch of another dealership! Training can be an uncomfortable situation for anyone, regardless of experience. Some feel that if management say it is required that it means they aren’t good enough, and some feel like they are being micro managed. It all comes down to the delivery of the training, data and experience - all of which our team offer and it really shows in how receptive all the sales people we have met, have been (even when they have been apprehensive at the start). Whether the salespeople have 30 years experience or 3 months experience - it’s nice to see that sales people are open to a conversation of making small changes that can lead to a big result and understanding the big picture. #salescoaching #development #training #salestraining #automotive

Did you miss out on a HOB role because of your lack of knowledge of either the sales department or the aftersales department? If so, come and join one of my Masterclass of 10 KPI’s. I am running a series of Masterclasses over the next few weeks. Aftersales KPI’s for Sales Managers or Sales KPI’s for Aftersales Managers. As a ‘Retail Excellence’ winning Head Of Business with over 15 years of experience, I will teach you the Key Performance Indicators required for the side of the business you are not yet confident in, I will answer the question you are too afraid to ask, and I will also teach you about the questions you do not know to ask. Just imagine sitting in an interview for a HOB role and being confident about the other side of the business you have never worked in. Just imagine being as competent about 10 KPI’s as other candidates who might already be in a HOB role. Just imagine being able to tell the interviewer you have invested in a personal coach outside of work to learn about the side of the business you were not previously confident about! If you are interested, DM me to get the link. P.S. If you know a colleague in the position of Sales Manager or Aftersales Manager, who wants to progress to a Head of Business role, do them a favour and send them this post.

Remember your never too old or too busy to learn. The key to success is not knowing everything but being able to adapt and learn new things. At Go Auto , training is ongoing and can cover every position as well as what you may need to succeed. Don’t let that opportunity pass you by or one day you will look back and wonder why you let knowledge pass you by.

Dealership employees today want to see a path toward growth in the workplace, and they want mentors to walk alongside them. Investing in employees' futures is the key to retaining skilled talent, Fleming Ford, director of business talent solutions at dealership training and consulting firm NCM Associates, told Automotive News. And that's why those honored through Automotive News' 2023 Best Dealerships To Work For are growing talent internally through robust training and professional development programs. Average turnover rates at dealerships across the industry was 33 percent in 2022, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association Dealership Workforce Study. But turning over even one employee can cost a store anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000 in opportunity and efficiency losses, Ford said. "You can't have a business strategy any longer without a talent strategy," Ford said. "Having an actual process and program in place around your people, your work force and your talent is going to be critical in this next era." All of this year's winners offer career advancement programs and mentorship, and 99 percent of the honorees offer leadership training. Meanwhile, 99 percent of employees surveyed at these stores felt supported in their career path, compared with 86 percent of employees who were surveyed at dealerships that did not make the 100 list. Koby Shires, 20, began as an oil change technician at LaFontaine Ford of Birch Run in Michigan two years ago and never thought he would have the skill to work on engines. But with mentorship from a senior master technician through the store's apprenticeship program, he's on a path to that future. "To be able to come up, learn the process and get to where I'm at now, feels huge," said Shires, now a service technician apprentice. He learned through daily mentorship with David Patterson, the senior master technician. Shires also learned from Ford's online training programs and the state certification process and has earn certifications in four areas so far. He began by shadowing Patterson and then slowly started to assist with more vehicle repair processes. Five stores from LaFontaine Automotive Group are among those honored. The group said it has added 18 dealerships to its portfolio in the last five years. It ranks No. 25 on Automotive News' list of the top 150 dealership groups. Max Muncey, a LaFontaine spokesperson, credits internal recruitment for much of this success. "We keep growing because we have the depth and bench to grow," Muncey said. "We have tenured, passionate individuals that take their skill set and passion and pass that down to the next generation."
