Sales Management Training
- Our experience is that many Sales Managers and F&I Managers, and for that matter, General Managers tend to be reactive instead of proactive. They get so caught up with managing information, statistics, facts, figures, numbers, records, documents, and files that their most important job responsibilities get overlooked. Your dealership must have the philosophy of being proactive, not reactive.
- Your variable operations managers are the very heartbeat of your sales team. They are the ones that set the standard for the rest of your sales team. What message do they send to your sales staff if they are hasty or only care about ‘statistics’? MBA trains sales management teams in the art of professionalism, integrity, and how they can make money; that determines how the dealership makes money. MBA consultants coach sales management teams to follow the right processes and understand time management, creating higher sales volume and more gross per retail deal.

MIXED Manufacturers Service & Parts Managers Performance Groups?
MBA Dealer Services, LLC originated the MIXED Manufacturers Fixed Operations Performance Group model in 2007, and this idea has proven itself time and time again. Our concept is unique and uncomplicated: using member dealership fixed operations statistics from various automotive manufacturers as the foundation, we bring together non-competing service and parts managers from a cross-section of the country to exchange strategies, processes, and best practices. Instead of Performance Groups made up of the same manufacturer’s dealers, we combine dealerships from assorted manufacturers to share a mixture of approaches, methods, and best ideas amongst the membership. What a fantastic way to learn new fixed operations methodologies from around the country!
How can MBA Fixed Operations Performance Groups help Service and Parts Managers better control Service and Parts Operations?
Our Performance Groups are like an intervention for your Service and Parts Department managers by allowing our moderators and your manager’s peers to offer ideas to help resolve their most challenging problems and, most importantly, hold them accountable to reach their goals.
