"Control what you can control"

"Control what you can control" Have your staff take time to reach out by phone to every client in their data base....Why? 1. Your connection rate will never be higher.

Your clients will remember how you treated them during these crazy times for years to come because in a crisis people reveal their true…Continue

Why car dealerships are good for society?
Started by Christian Younggren in Uncategorized or Does Not Fit Into Any Pre-Defined Category Jan 11. 0 Replies 0 Likes
I am doing a project on positive dealership stories so I typed, "why car dealerships are good for society" into the Youtube search, the only positive message I could find was footage from an award banquet!! It's the same story on Google search. Sad because dealers add millions of dollars in property taxes and jobs for our society. I understand there are very "bad" dealer operators, but mind you, didn't ask Youtube or Google for dealer scams or fraud stories.That being said, I would love to hear…Continue
