1. NCM “Benchmarking for Success” Workshop Added To AutoCon 2012
AutoCon 2012, the automotive industry’s newest and most exciting fall
conference, is pleased to announce that Robin Cunningham, NCM® Institute
faculty member, will be leading a comprehensive benchmarking workshop for
auto dealers who are looking to drive greater operating efficiencies and
profitability through a proven process.
AutoCon 2012 is focused on its core objectives to deliver outstanding thought
leadership on its six educational themes: People, Process, Measurement, Social,
Local, and Mobile. The fall conference is a perfect match for NCM’s business
objectives and long history of helping dealers with process, measurement, and
industry best practices.
Robin Cunningham, when asked about why dealers should attend his workshop
stated: “By attending this workshop, participants will learn the top three areas of
greatest opportunity to improve total dealership profitability and see how
domestic, import and high-line franchised NCM Benchmark® performers are
doing in each area.”
In addition to having thought leaders like Robin Cunningham leading timely
educational programs, dealer principals can attend AutoCon 2012 for free.
That’s correct. AutoCon 2012 is laser focused on delivering the content that
dealer principals need to adapt to current regulatory, operating, and marketing
environments.
AutoCon 2012 raises the bar for automotive collaboration and education to
connect dealers with the best practices and latest technology in order to lead
their business. AutoCon has introduced clearly defined educational and
sponsored workshop sessions, and the industry’s first live product labs following
workshop sessions. The labs allow attendees to have a hands-on experience
with products, services, and strategies introduced in the sponsored workshop
sessions.
