  • John Stubbelfield – A Look at Finance and Some Best Practices for Your Store
    Welcome to another episode!
    With the contraction on the new-car side of the business, finding ways to increase profit is at the forefront of most decision-makers in the dealership. One of the ways to find those extra dollars is in the finance department and maximizing each and every opportunity we get in front of the buyer!
    In this session, we sit down with a finance pro that was making so much money on the back end that when his GM cut his pay, he decided to take his talents and educate others! This is a great conversation with real insight from somebody that is in the role and knows what it takes to get results.

  • RevFerral – How to Leverage the Most Effective Marketing Action You Have! (New Tech)

    Welcome back to another episode!


    When it comes to marketing within your dealership, what is providing you the most ROI? For me, marketing is all about where I can get the most frequency at the least amount of spend. One of the ways that you can achieve this is by having an effective referral program that can provide buyers that are ready to transact because they have been sent over to your dealerships by people that have vouched on your behalf.


    In this session, we talk to Revferral, our second vendor of the season, that we have invited to come on the show to talk about what they offer and how it can help you gain an advantage.

  • Sean Kelley - FB Live Session - The Power of Effective Coaching
    Welcome back to another session of the Dealer Talk Podcast!
    In this session, we have a conversation with our resident guest, Sean Kelley #thecarbizcoach, about coaching. It’s crazy that Sean has been with us for every season of the podcast, and we have not covered coaching at length. There are a lot of insights in this episode that truly speak to one of the most critical areas we face in our industry, which is that of acquiring knowledge and skills that will allow us to become true professionals.
    I am excited to cover this topic because I have had the pleasure of being coached by this amazing individual, so I know firsthand the impact. More importantly, I believe that in order for us to grow in any capacity, we need to have the knowledge and skills that we don’t possess. That is what coaching can provide.
