That costs a 100 unit dealership $750,000 every month. How? Easy ... 500 people come on the lot, 100 are de- livered and 300 buyers leave without buying.
At $2,500 PVR, miss- ing those 300 buyers every month sends $750,000 down the street to a competitor. Why? Because 8 car guys do all they can with the skills they have. When you want more of that $1M, let us teach them more skills. Note: Our training costs way less than $750K. Train now and make millions more this year.
