Today’s consumers have a lot of the answers they need before they ever contact your dealership or set foot on your lot, but they don’t have ALL the answers. Your organization’s processes and talk tracks must adapt to this ever-changing reality, which means you should be training your team constantly with the most up-to-date lessons you can find.
Sure events such as NADA, Digital Dealer, the DrivingSales Executive Summit and the likes offer helpful resources for savvy dealers, but they aren’t cheap to attend and they aren’t on-demand for your team when they need specific training. DealerRefresh can be a great free online resource, but when individual team members need the best training on specific subjects, your options are limited.
