Presenter: Steve Nickelsen
Program Length: 90 minutes
The impact of the massive Generation "Y" is already making itself evident in your showroom. Adjust to the demands and preferences of Gen Y to attract and keep the best of this generational cohort.
Those who rely on old "command & control" strategies in the showroom will more than likely find themselves in a constant battle to recruit, train, compensate and manage the sales force of today and certainly of tomorrow.
Gen "Y" is having an impact today and it will only grow more intense as this generational cohort (80 million strong) dominates our culture and especially our business and management practices.
Visit with Steve Nickelsen as he examines the three main concerns of thinking auto dealers and sales managers. How to recruit, compensate and manage "Gen Y" sales staff.
You will learn:
Why "percentage of the gross" is not working as well as it used to
How you can balance the needs of newer "Gen Y" sales staff with the very different needs and expectations of older (mostly Boomers) staff members
Exactly what does motivate Gen Y and how does this differ from showroom management
Why this cohort does not respond to traditional "Help Wanted" ads - and some examples of what does work
Why this generational cohort may pose the most significant challenge to car dealers in decades

Original Air Date: May 3, 2012
Program Length: 95 minutes
How Dealers, GMs, would-be GMs and Controllers - As well as Sales Managers themselves - can measure performance in your used vehicle departments to highlight areas needing improvement and to formulate corrective action plans.
The car business has changed much in the past decade, but nowhere more so than in the Used Vehicle departments. The Internet has been the main agent of change; often resulting in the turning of established process on its head.
Some have adapted well, others are perplexed with their feet firmly planted: one foot in the old way of doing business, while the other foot attempts to move forward. Result: Many used vehicle departments are under-performing.
Steve Nickelsen joins us for this exploration of just how dealership top managers, as well as Used Vehicle department managers, can perform a self-examination and evaluation with an eye toward spotting areas in which the dealership can do better. Once problem areas are highlighted, Steve will also lay out a plan for addressing and correcting the weaknesses found.
