Many dealers across the country have had their best year ever because they have sharpened their skills and adopted a new way of doing business in a new automotive world. No group has witnessed this more and helped to influence change more than the Leedom Group.
Simply waiting to see the new automotive landscape come into focus and then determining the skill set necessary to succeed in that new world is a recipe for disaster many dealers will be left behind. Finding the right model now, implementing changes, training on new skill sets and developing a plan that will sell more vehicles, with a greater gross profit is the way to meet payroll, pay the bills and meet your personal goals.
To that end, the 15th Annual Leedom Group Buy Here-Pay Here Convention, dedicated to the buy here-pay here and non-prime marketplace, will be held Oct. 12-14, 2009, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
So much has changed in the past year. Manufacturers have been nationalized. There are fewer domestic franchise dealers in markets across the country, and there will be fewer still next year. Right-priced inventory is harder to find. Reconditioning costs have risen. Fuel prices have skyrocketed, ebbed and are once again on the rise. Finance companies have exited the automotive space or have changed the way they do business. Tax laws are changing. Social networking is now an advertising medium. Its a new automotive world out there, and its the smart and fleet-of-foot dealer willing to take the time to understand this new world and make the necessary changes that will succeed. All of this has prompted a new agenda featuring a new way to do business , which will be showcased at the Leedom conference.
The Leedom Group has worked with hundreds of dealers across the country that have recognized the changes and have developed business plans to succeed, said Chris Leedom, founder of the Independent Dealer Twenty Group program and host of the annual Leedom Convention. Together we have developed strategies for success in this new automotive world, and we will share this paradigm change with attendees at our 15th annual event.
The Leedom Convention will focus on topics such as the Changing Face of the BHPH Customer, The New Dealer-Lender Partnership, E-mail and Social Networking Advertising, Collections and Electronic payments: More Important Now than Ever, Right-sizing Your Operation, and much more.
We have put together some of the best minds in the industry to examine and develop strategies for this new automotive world, and we will continue to listen up and look around the bend in preparation for what will be the single most important automotive retail event of the year, Leedom said. Plus we are unique in that we also operate five dealerships so we are not accountants or meeting planners we operate dealerships everyday and face the same challenges as our attendees. No other conference sponsor can say that. This will be the event of the year guaranteed!!
