Employees are the core of every automotive dealership. Improved capabilities and knowledge of an already talented workforce can be a major source of competitive advantage in any market. It is extremely important that your employees are consistently trained on the software solutions that run your automotive dealership operations, including an equity mining tool. Increase your dealership’s equity mining success with consistent and relevant training.
In order to achieve the full ROI potential of any automotive equity mining tool, today’s dealers must drive a high rate of utilization. This requires on-going, role specific training for all employees.
This training should extend well beyond just which buttons to push and when.
Automotive employees that learn the theory behind the software find clarity. Successful equity mining product training programs include: best practices, process training, tips on campaigns to run, and lessons learned from other dealerships.
