You have done the work. You know your gross profit and you’re ready to determine each employees pay rate. Check out the video for our simple process that keeps cash in your pocket while also paying your employees fairly.
Culture issues in the Service department almost always start with the *gasp* Service Manager! The first step to getting a positive culture in the Service Department is to have a trained and excited Service Manager leading your team.
You didn’t start your dealership because you love HR, but my guess is that as your Parts, Service, and Sales departments grow, so do your headaches with the people in your dealership. One of the most powerful tools you have, as you work with people, is an Employee Handbook because it creates clarity for every single person at your dealership (yes, that includes you!)
2024 has kicked off, and Dealerships across the country are outlining their goals for departments and employees. One question we get this time of year is “How do we keep PDI/entry-level techs excited and engaged?”
When it comes to determining your labor rate, you must establish how much you need to pay your employees before you start to determine how much you need to bill customers hourly.
A new year brings optimism and promise for a better year than the one we are leaving behind. We’re reaching out to dealers to see what they’re looking forward to in terms of growth opportunities for the year ahead.
Your dealership’s future is affected by decisions you’re making today, so developing a long-term plan is a “must” to avoid as many missteps as possible.
Regardless of whether 2017 is one for the record books at your dealership, or a year you’d like to forget, there are always ways to make improvements for the coming year.
