Capital Development
IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND DRIVE RESULTS
Delivering strong financial results while satisfying the most aware customer base our industry has ever seen continues to present dealers with more and more challenges. While keeping the dealer protected from increased regulatory requirements, AutoMethod’s customized approach addresses critical areas in dealership operations to improve performance and drive results.
People
Do you have structured development plans for the largest expense line in your dealership? Not having a consistent people development plan and not having the appropriate teachers, trainers, and coaches developing them has real implications. The lack of development directly impacts the bottom line through high turnover, low productivity, increased expenses, and inefficient use of resources. Indirectly, a lack of continuously developed people mortgages your future with poor CSI and public reviews.
AutoMethod implements a curriculum of development customized not only to the individual dealership, but to each of its key producers. Do you have a strong desk manager who can close virtually any deal, but can’t manage salespeople? Or might you have an F&I manager with perfect paperwork, but limited production? Regardless of the strengths and weaknesses of your people, AutoMethod will assess your team, construct an agreed upon development plan, execute that plan, measure its successes and ongoing opportunities, continuously and seamlessly adjust areas of need, and document the results. No longer just an expense, your human capital is your largest monthly INVESTMENT. Let’s maximize its ROI.
Process
What’s your second largest capital investment? Is it your newly remodeled building? Is it the new factory-mandated equipment and tools? Is it your furniture and fixtures? Or is it the processes that you have in place?
AutoMethod continuously stays in tune to the systems and processes being invested in nationally. We examine the processes our dealer partners are truly executing versus the results and outcomes expected. We assist our dealer partners in forming, documenting, adjusting, measuring, streamlining, and reviewing their process capital. AutoMethod executes customized strategies to ensure our dealers’ process capital delivers a consistent return and is in alignment with each dealer’s unique mission, vision, and values.
Process Execution
Having a well-designed plan that addresses the growth and development of your people along with addressing the gaps in your processes is only the starting line. Having systematic measurement and reporting execution is what allows for continuous and consistent growth.
AutoMethod will provide the controls necessary so that, at all times, our dealer partners know not only the progress of the plans, but what their returns are as well. This culture of accountability and high-level execution will serve as a differentiator between you and your competition.
