Dealers face plenty of challenges today, let alone implementing the RIGHT process to properly handle live trades and aged units and to ultimately make more retail deals while improving inventory disposition in the process. Considering the fact that over 60% of trades dealers process today are non-core / one-off units, and with the staggering 2,000+ make / model combinations manufactured in 2017 alone, it’s easy to see why dealers are uncertain and overwhelmed.

This session, backed by data from more than 100,000 appraisals, more than $100 million in live trade and aged inventory, and actionable advice from one of the nation’s leading wholesale experts, outlines proven strategies to positively impact wholesale operations, conquest sales, aged inventory sales, fixed operations profits, and inventory disposition. These aren’t opinions or conjecture! These are proven tactics you can take to the bank.
