Are You Ready? Don't wait for opportunity to come knocking- you have to want it, upskill yourself and take action!
Last week, someone reached out with dozens of years' experience in their role, but were not prepared for today's Modern Retail environment. So sad that no one placed better expectations on them throughout the years.
Like our old friend Joe Verde was known to say, " Do you have 20 years worth of experience, or have you accumulated one years' experience, 20 times over?"
If you are currently a GSM, Fixed Ops Director or have another role and are seeking to advance to a GM role, what are three things you are doing to prepare yourself for this significant advancement?
1. (This is where you take over ;) )
2.
3.
Will you only consider positions with your current brand or location?
Are you willing to make a strategic move for the right opportunity?
Are there opportunities where you currently reside?
What is your reasoning for why you are ready?
What is your reason for not preparing yourself fully?
Do you have outstanding Leadership skills- and can you demonstrate this?
How do you create new traffic in a market like the one we are in now?
Do you have a firm understanding of all verticals within a Dealership, plus Teams, plus your Vendor Partners?
Could you sit down and run your Sales or Service BDC Department for a week- with no outside help?
What is good Marketing today? How do you know???
It is time for all of our Leaders to Level Up!
Whether you plan to stay in your current role, or try to move forward, work on One Thing starting today to increase your value.
Your Career. Your Choice.
I am aware of fantastic opportunities (and some I wouldn't dare to share!) all across the country.
There has never been a better time to get ready.
Let's talk soon.
