In this episode of You're In Charge, Glenn Pasch is joined by renowned sales trainer Marc McGurren to tackle a hot-button topic: AI in automotive sales. Together, they break down the harsh reality that AI—no matter how advanced—won’t rescue a dealership from a flawed or inconsistent sales process. From broken lead follow-up routines to lack of accountability and poor CRM usage, Glenn and Marc explore why technology alone isn’t the answer.

You’ll learn:

• The most common gaps in dealership sales workflows
• How AI can amplify bad habits if processes aren’t fixed first
• What sales leaders must do before implementing AI tools
• Real-world examples from Marc’s in-store training and coaching experience

Whether you're a GM, BDC manager, or sales professional, this episode offers practical insights to help you stop relying on silver bullets—and start building a foundation that technology can actually enhance.
