LIFELINE TO PROFITS SEMINAR

Wednesday to Friday, June 6-8, 2007

Denver (CADA Headquarters)

Is your dealership operating at peak performance? Are your current operations designed
to capitalize on profit opportunities? In conjunction with the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), this Lifeline to Profits workshop is an outstanding opportunity to develop a strategy and action plan for maximizing your dealership’s profits.

NADA trainers will help you identify untapped profit opportunities in your dealership. You will take home a practical action plan specifically designed for you. This in-depth and intensive two and a half-day session will provide you the essential edge you need to more effectively compete in today’s competitive market.

In order to fully benefit from this exciting opportunity, it’s important to bring your numbers:

• Financial statements

• Repair orders

• Parts stock order figures

• Vehicle inventory and used vehicle appraisals

You’ll begin and end each day with a developmental session that refines a specific dealership action plan for you based on information covered in the workshop. You’ll discuss the most positive action, event or result your dealership has seen in the last six months.

In addition, you’ll be asked to provide trainers with information about a critical concern you’d like to identify as a key element in the improvement of your operation. Most important, be prepared to actively participate.

Specifically, the association’s Lifeline to Profits program “can help you meet any number of challenges, from having too much inventory to seeing our cash flow
trickle to a near standstill,” said Dale Willey, Chairman of NADA.

We strongly encourage you and your key managers
to attend this valuable workshop.

CADA SPeakers AvailablE For Local Group Events
and TO EducatE the Public
 

CADA is ramping up to roll out information that can be used community-by-community
and can provide local presentations at your community service groups, including:  Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs, Lions Clubs, Optimist Clubs, rtoma, Exchange Clubs, local Chambers of Commerce and other local civic, social, business, professional and service organizations. Topics available:

• Automotive Technology Offers Consumer Choice, Cost-savings and Alternative Power

• Congress and Colorado General Assembly – Review of recent legislative action and what it means to you, your business and Colorado’s economy

• Colorado’s Small Business – Powering Colorado’s economy with job creation and growth

• Auto Fuel Source – Emerging options to include Flex-Fuel (E-85), Hybrids, Clean Diesel, Hydrogen, Plug-in Electric

• Colorado’s Constitution – Ease of change has brought on the opportunists and crazies!  How the easiest to change state constitution has hurt Colorado’s future                          

On many auto industry topics, the public is receiving only part of the story through the mainstream press. CADA is here to help answer some of their questions on topics the press is covering, including:

• Congress is considering tougher than reasonable increases in CAFÉ (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards, while state-by-state, legislators consider standards than are tougher than the national standards.

• Colorado’s General Assembly, just off a session that provided huge incentives for development of renewable energy, is now considering tougher carbon emission standards than Congress has enacted nationally.

• Without doubt, fuel price increases are changing the way consumers purchase vehicles. But is the consumer informed of the fundamental changes in technology and diverse fuel and power sources the automotive industry has already developed?  Consumers, as they have done in every previous energy cost acceleration scenario, are moving toward industry-provided alternatives. Yet, the choices for consumers could become dramatically limited if Congress or the Colorado General Assembly overreach.

Speakers from CADA are ready to address all the topics and more! To schedule local presentations, please contact Tim Jackson, CADA President, tim.jackson@cadaonline.org, 303.282.1448.
