Kyle, thanks for the reply.
We are working on a couple of "Member Only" things right now. One of them I believe will be a pretty good draw.
It is impossible to Protect Members without also protecting Non Members in the process. Most of the protections that I am referring to revolve around Legislative proposals and the like.
You make great points. I do not agree with your perception of the core issue. In my mind, the core issue is that dealers are perfectly happy to let someone else pay the bill. These dealers don't believe in pitching in for the greater good. They know that the few are forced to protect the masses and they are just fine with that. They don't believe in everyone pitching in. Rather than the Perceived Value and "what can you do for me", maybe the question should be "what can I do for others". When we all adopt that mentality, great things can happen.
Now, back to your point...I agree that we need to focus more on Tangible Outcomes. In 2026, we are going to really focus on the New Licensees rather than trying to figure out how to get the existing dealers to change their way of thinking. Again, you do make great points.
If you are going to the National Convention, let me know. I would really like to visit more with you!
Clint
