You’re not alone if the ever-changing, post-pandemic marketplace has you second guessing how you’re doing business. While following the “business as usual” approach may work for some businesses out there, it’s definitely not an advisable approach for regimented dealerships. No matter how you’ve fared the last two years — and more recently while withstanding inventory shortages, parts delays, recession talk, housing fears, inflation and growing workforce concerns — you have to remember now is NOT the time to panic or lose sight of your processes.

Instead, you have to ask yourself if your dealership is properly prepared for a slowdown? Can you be disciplined in the face of all this disruption? To a greater degree, are you reacting to everything and letting the external environment and your business run you or are you, through installed processes, running your business with confidence? We understand your concern. It shouldn’t have to feel as though you’re putting the cart before the horse or, worse yet, pushing both the cart and horse up a steep rocky hill. That’s why the MRAA Spotlight for September is themed “Get Back on Track with Disciplined Operations.”

This page and resources can help you get a better grip on your dealership in times of uncertainty by installing improved operations. By enhancing your operations and facilities you can reduce your costs, improve your team’s efficiency and strengthen your dealership’s potential.
