These days there sure are a lot of new solutions for your dealership to consider. With such a plethora of vendors, applications and new technology available it is nearly impossible to keep up with them all. What if someone you trusted selected a couple of dozen of the best/hottest/newest products and you could watch demonstrations, set in up in speed dating style, to learn about how the new solution might help your dealership? 8-10 minute focused demos, no obligations, just learn about the benefits of the product and ask a few questions to figure out if you see a fit with your business. And then move on to the next product, visit the vendor later for a more in-depth demonstration/presentation for the technology that you deem a potential fit at your store(s). But see ten products within 2 ½ hours and gain a much better understanding of the new solutions you should really consider implementing in your business.
