Written By: Steven BanksLately it seems I am unable to hide from the term, Big Data.

Garry House posted a blog postFrom the NCM Institute: The Difference Between ‘Good’ and ‘Great’ Auto Dealers Written By: Garry House
Written By: Garry HouseIn the first couple of paragraphs in his book, Good to Great, author Jim Collins makes several interesting statements:Good is the enemy of great.

The vast majority of companies never become great, precisely because the vast majority become quite good – and that is their main problem.Although I’ve…See More

So strong, in fact, that many dealers are…See More

Written by: Steve HallDealers know you must provide fast, convenient, and competitively-priced service in order to retain your customer base. They also know that oil changes and light maintenance are the most requested service items by customers. Knowing this, why do dealers continually fight express service?I’ve heard all the excuses: it hurts my hours per repair order; it hurts my gross profit percentage; it hurts my effective labor rate; I can’t make any money in express service; the list…See More
