Dealer Best Practices Groups
Join a Community of High-Performing Dealers
Dealer performance is the single most important determinant of sustainable growth in the low-speed vehicle industry. As vehicles become more capable, customer use cases expand beyond traditional golf environments, and regulatory scrutiny increases, dealer professionalism, not product alone, will increasingly define brand reputation, market outcomes, and long-term profitability.
Most members claim they receive at least 10 times value return from their monthly dues.
The Dealer Best Practices Groups provide a practical, OEM-aligned foundation to help dealers improve profitability, consistency, and execution across their core operating engines. It is intentionally non-prescriptive and non-brand-specific, designed to complement, not replace OEM dealer programs.
Supporting these engines is a fourth critical element: leadership and operating discipline. Clear expectations, simple KPIs, and a consistent management cadence drive behavior change, which in turn drives financial results.
The Three Operating Engines of Dealer Success
At its core, the framework focuses on three interdependent operating engines:
Sales Management
Effective sales management hinges on disciplined effort allocation, customer segmentation, and proactive margin protection. By rigorously benchmarking performance against peers and analyzing selling margins and inventory turnover, dealers can identify critical performance gaps and opportunities for improvement. Proven strategies based on these insights lead to measurable improvements in profitability.
- Higher close rates through focused effort allocation
- Improved mix and margin discipline via strategic customer segmentation
- More predictable pipeline health from consistent sales processes
- Identified performance gaps and opportunities through peer benchmarking
- Enhanced selling margins and inventory turnover by comparing against industry best practices
Service Management
This engine focuses on maximizing capacity utilization and technician productivity, crucial drivers for fixed-operations absorption. Emphasizing technician retention is vital for long-term profitability and ensures the continuous delivery of high-quality service. Implementing robust service management discipline creates sustainable revenue streams and strengthens customer loyalty.
- Higher labor gross margins by optimizing capacity utilization
- Improved technician retention through a supportive and productive work environment
- Stronger fixed-operations absorption by enhancing technician efficiency
- Sustainable revenue streams from reliable and high-quality service delivery
