People are the greatest assets in dealership operations and Buy Centers are no exception to the rule. With personnel turnover rates exceeding 35-40% in the automotive industry as a whole, it’s critical to identify the right candidates for your buy centers, and then train, pay, and set objectives to retain them over the long term.
In the video below, the following points are highlighted in this condensed mini version of the original live web chat which aired in September 2017 where Vehicle Acquisition Network Founder Tom Gregg and Del Grande Dealer Group Used Vehicle Director David Long discussed what it takes to build and manage your used vehicle acquisition team.

Developing a routine of meeting with buy center employees and giving them a voice in the evolution of the processes and procedures will improve your employee engagement and increase the efficiency of your operation. Providing the employees with clearly defined goals and a potential career path will keep them motivated and driven.
