So I am in the beginning phases of implementing a BDC at our dealership. I have the dealer principle and all of management on board and am solely spearheading the project.
While presenting the proposal to management the other day the dealer principle kind of blind sided me by asking me to find another BDC to observe for a day or two, preferably one that sells the same product as we do - Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram.
Though I have a decent amount of BDC experience I have only ever worked at one organization. Aside from what I read and watch online I can't really speak to how other BDC's are run. Granted, the company I did work for was extremely process driven, so I definitely feel like I come from a strong foundation.
He is asking me to find an established and proven department to bounce ideas off of in addition to observing their day to day.
I know there is only one other BDC department in our state that consists of more than one person. And they definitely would not be open to assisting...which I wouldn't blame them for.
We are in the South-East region.
Has anyone done this before? How does one go about approaching this?
Would anyone even be remotely open to helping with this?
Thanks in advance.
