In every Dealership there is a desk. And behind that desk sits someone who has the responsibility to increase Profits.
In Fixed Ops, this person is called the Service Manager.
Typically (when I go into a store that is not profitable), I find the person sitting behind that desk working on everything not related to increasing Profits while believing that they are working on everything related to increasing Profits.
I call it the “Theory of Un-relativity” and it goes like…
No matter if you are a Green Pea or an Old Dog, we’ve all been guilty of not asking for the sale. Even after we’ve spent hours of getting our customers to like us, maniacally sprinting across the lot with the battery box to jump start a vehicle, moved a half dozen vehicles in search for the “one,” or climbed in and out of scorching 180…
Consumers today are increasingly becoming finicky about where and how they want to communicate. While the past may have seen a traditional print ad performing well on its own, that’s increasingly not the case. Data supports the fact that consumers are all over the place and successful marketers know that their message needs to be at every potential touch point possible. The…
In 2013 - Our clients sold 68% of their customers a Service Contract, on Non CPO used cars!
In all likelihood your present penetrations for those vehicle (NON CPO) is likely far less than than 68%
There is no other product in the marketplace that is as sell able and we cover cars less than 10 year old and less than 100K at POS. That covers 95% of a new car franchises inventory.

Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of Beggs on the Used Car Market from Black Book. And by springtime, not just because the calendar says we have reached that point in the year, but after talking with a couple of industry folks in Detroit, the DC area and even from two mid-west states, there was a freshness in their voices due to no snow in the air or on the ground, with some sunny skies bringing…

Facebook originally simplified promoted post ads by allowing marketers to check off a box that would automatically promote…
What a great start to the year! We are closing in on the end of the first quarter. Many of my projects are successful. Many of my goals are right on track for the year. There is one problem however, where the heck did the time go? The one thing that has not worked out the way it was planned is that there would be fewer Classes this year than last.

The bottom line is I do believe, I just worry it will not be…
Yeah that's right, you heard me... I'm talking to you... I'm calling you out.
I'm looking you in the eyes (OK well, not really since you are probably reading this article, but figuratively, I am burning a cyclops type h*** in your face right now) and telling you that you don't stand a chance.
