A lot of consolidation happening in auto retail - lots of buying and selling of dealerships. Many buyers talk about needing a "cultural fit" before they buy, but what are they willing to do to keep to that promise? We'd love to hear about some real strategies and applications of a "cultural fit."
What would happen in auto retail if we had a customer-centric, employee-centric culture?
Then we talk about the effect of inventory shortages and the trade cycle and long-term effects of current practices.
We also touch on dealer/manufacturer relationships, how they've changed over the years and what could be done to support dealers more. How do private owners get heard when public companies have such a large footprint and voice?
