Following the success of two recent webinars that focused on asking experts the questions that marine retailers care about, MRAA has decided to launch a free monthly webinar series titled “Ask the Expert.” The first entry in the series is “Ask the Expert: How to Keep Your Dealership Safe,” featuring security expert Robert Siciliano, on Feb. 26 at noon Eastern.

“Our team is excited to use this webinar series to offer solutions to common problems dealers face and to identify new opportunities for dealership growth and improvement,” says Liz Walz, MRAA Vice President and host of the series. “One of the unique features of this type of education is that, at the end of the webinar, dealers will have the chance to get answers to questions about their specific situation from experts on that month’s topic. Sometimes that Q&A is the most valuable part.”

During the kickoff webinar, Siciliano, president and CEO of Safr.me, will share strategies for protecting yourself, your business, your employees and your customers. Common challenges in today’s technology-dependent world include phone scams, email fraud, ransomware and social media attacks on your reputation. Questions about these topics – and any others dealers wish to add — will discussed during the webinar.

Additional webinars will follow monthly on subjects such as boat show follow-up, workforce development and more.

Dealers and others can register to attend the kickoff webinar for free here: Ask the Expert: How to Keep Your Dealership Safe.
