Practical guidance for dealerships posting at volume, plus notes on what we ship.
A yearly dealer insurance and lot risk review checklist: inventory values, lot security, test-drive exposure, off-site units, and the operational records your agent will actually ask for.
A quarterly inventory audit comparing physical units to system counts: count-day roles, mismatch categories, sold-unit ghosts, and a closeout that fixes listings the same afternoon.
How many cars should you stock based on sales pace: a days-of-supply framework, a floor and ceiling for small lots, and the mix rules that keep empty pads from becoming a buy signal.
Diagnose a dealership sales slump step by step: separate traffic, conversion, inventory, and exposure problems before you cut price, fire a rep, or blame the market.
Forecast next month's sales from your lead pipeline: stage definitions, conversion math you run on your own history, and the hygiene rules that keep a small-dealer forecast honest.
Quarterly planning for a small dealership: a half-day agenda covering inventory mix, cash, people, and online exposure so the next 90 days are steered instead of improvised.
A monthly business review template for small dealers: units, gross, aged inventory, lead pipeline, and online exposure in one sitting that fits a store without a controller staff.
A used car manager's daily opening checklist: lot walk, overnight leads, sold-unit hygiene, posting queue, and the systems check that keeps the first hour from becoming a scramble.
Ask three people what you have in a truck and you get three numbers. Track inventory cost basis in one place—purchase, recon, fees, pack—so pricing, aged reviews, and sold gross use the same truth.
