On the real future of automotive.
How futuristic-minded you are depends on how quickly you can rattle off the names of the women included in leadership at your company or at your conference.

If it only takes you seconds compared to the minutes to name the men around you, this could serve as your first clue as to your progressive meter.

The time for talking is over. It's time for action. I'm not here to be a token and neither are you.

The successful, progressive future of automotive depends on it.

Learn how GROW! is poised to change the narrative, for good.

Don't get left behind.

Bill Zadeits interviews Andrew Ashman of Ford Motor Company and their foray into Used Cars. This launches a fresh foray into #CPO.

On upcoming shifts:

"In 2-3 years, the market will be increasingly competitive. We have to work together to remain successful after this 'Lala Land' is over."

On smaller dealerships:
"The resilience of the local Ford dealer is critically important to Ford and the communities these dealers serve."

On advice to dealers:
"Change is coming to the Used Car space.
Dealers who are agile and adapting to new consumer expectations can still win."

"Finally, get back to basics and fundamentals."

Great session!

And he might have just said the franchises can operate #BetterTogether!!!

On Who Won a $100,000 Investment Today at NaviCon?

My friend and colleague Skye Haulman, founder of One Auction View® !

Skye is a real dealer who faced the same challenges most dealers like him faced: Time procuring vehicles from the Auctions.

Whether online or in-person, anyone buying vehicles to scale can tell you the dozens of hours weekly they have to spend acquiring cars for their lots. And this has only increased during the Pandemic.

One Auction View makes every Auction instantly jointly accessible and easily actionable for our Dealers, GMs and Used Car Managers/ Pre-Owned Directors everywhere.

Give yourself a break and your dealership an advantage with this winning platform.

You will be shocked at the pricetag considering the value and time savings. Starting at only $299, you can transform your inventory and operations with this one great decision.

Tell Skye hello from me and be sure to say 'Congratulations!'

The field was full of terrific contenders, but Steve Greenfield and his team at Automotive Ventures truly picked a winner with #OneAuctionView!!!
