The most profitable used car dealers I know protect their time and environment like their lives depend on it. At the end of the day, they are right. Time is money and your time is super limited, which is why everyone protects their time so well.

But what about your environment? Curious how much that affects a used car dealer in 2019 and what you could do to leverage this knowledge in your favor? Stick around and Mike Ramos discusses it in detail.

From getting creative to having the right flooring layout for your dealer inventory, the environment is a hidden gem that never gets mentioned. Until now!

The Your Car Dealer Bond team worked hard to deliver super quality information for used car dealers, while keeping it in a format that a dealer wouldn't mind reading. After all, not too many of you want to read about used car dealer insurance but this format was professionally designed to deliver the content an easy-to-read format.

I promise you that you have NEVER seen a resource about this subject anything near what we delivered here with you in mind!  

I'm willing to bet that you have questions about if you can list your family members on your used car dealer insurance policy, even if they are not part of the business.

After seeing the interest you guys had in the episode on best practices related to operating your dealer inventory for personal purposes…

I started to think about drilling down a little further for you guys. Most auto dealers I've come in contact with in the past 20 years are often confused about best methods and the pro's and con's when it comes to scheduling family members on your used car dealer insurance (aka garage policy).

Mike Ramos discusses this matter in detail from the perspective of a 20+ year veteran of the insurance business and a former Director of Nationwide Operations for a large insurance carrier.

Explicit language used this episode of the Your Car Dealer Podcast.

As a used car dealer in 2019 and going into 2020, there is a growing problem in the industry. It's creeping in slowly and daily to dismantle great car dealerships systematically.

The problem is a lack of focus on what got you to the dance. Most used car dealers have a particular expertise, are really good in a certain area. What is that for you? Where are you the best in class (or as close to it as possible)?

Instead of continuing to get better at what that expertise is, we sometimes get off going into areas that we want to dabble in because we get bored. Shiny object syndrome is real and a daily fight to beat.

Have you ever had a great mentor that helped you take your professional game to a level you thought was unachievable? Have you ever played a sport for a great coach that inspired you to give it your best every day?

The used car dealer industry is flooded with mentors but only the ones that have an interest in helping you succeed! Most knowledgeable auto dealers don't share their best practices and certainly don't bend over backward to help you build a thriving business.

This is the reason that I developed this podcast and my entire business! If you are a used car dealer in 2019, we really need to talk.

Today's episode of the Your Car Dealer Podcast is dedicated to a special mentor that helped me in a  variety of ways. Robert Large was very helpful in shaping me into the professional that I am today.

Most used car dealers that struggle to make a real profit have the same thing in common, their marketing is not cost-effective. Their client acquisition cost is far too high, which throws off the economics of a cost-effective dealership.

Here is a quick list of some of season 1 episodes of the Your Car Dealer Podcast brought to you by Mike Ramos and the team at Your Car Dealer Bond:

• Episode 1: SWOT Analysis and Think BIG (Guide to Increasing Dealer ROI). This is our most popular podcast as of September 18, 2018.
• Episode 2: Increase Sales and Dealer ROI (80/20 & the Rule of 300).
• Episode 3: Is Your Car Dealer Business Struggling or Selling fewer Cars than in previous years (2018 Edition)?
• Episode 4: Used Car Dealer Insurance (NEW Buyers Guide Info!)
• Episode 5: Fighting those BIG Corporations as a Small Used Car Dealer.
• Episode 6: Tough love for Used Car Dealers (retailers, wholesalers, & auto brokers).

Do you have tons of questions about used car dealer insurance? How would you like to get those questions personally explained to you by a 20-year dealer insurance expert in plain English?

Such complex subject matter takes at least a decade to fully understand with the proper training. Nearly every insurance agent or broker on this planet that sells used car dealer insurance has never worked for an insurance carrier.

Mike Ramos is now the founder of Your Car Dealer Bond LLC but prior to forming this family-owned company, Mr. Ramos spent 20 years working through the ranks of a marquee insurance carrier. With specific training and expertise of this level, it just seemed like a travesty to not share that with great auto dealers across America. 

This makes a huge difference from the perspective of the breadth and depth in which a person understands your exposure and how to insure that risk. Agents and brokers without extensive carrier-level experience also don't understand how the claims and legal team will react to the insurance contract that is in place.

Don't let yourself be disadvantaged another minute against insurance agents and brokers that just want to take your money by using fancy insurance language. Hold this persona accountable to help you better-understand your insurance contract. Further they need to help you shift, reduce, combine, and protect the risks associated with your used car dealer business.

Do you understand co-insurance penalties? Mike Ramos also discusses how insurance companies get you to be honest by limiting your potential claims payouts through co-insurance.

Mike also discusses vehicle history and defects and how that affects your dealership. Then we wrap up with a simple way to understand liability insurance and how that affects retail car dealers.
