If you aren’t, you should be. Mad about what? You should be mad if you have even one unit over 60 days old.
Who should you be mad at? Well that depends on your position in the dealership.
If you’re the Dealer or GM you should be super mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen.
If you’re the General Sales Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen.
If you’re the Used Car Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen.
If you’re the Desk Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen. (Yes, you’re part of the problem.)
If you’re the Sales Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen. (Yes, you’re part of the problem.)
If you’re the F&I Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen. (Yes, you’re part of the problem.)
If you’re the Controller you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen. (Yes, you’re part of the problem.)
If you’re the Service Manager you should be mad at yourself and everyone around you for allowing it to happen. (Yes, you’re part of the problem.)
It doesn’t matter what your position is, you’re part of the problem of aging units. Either it’s your responsibility or you’re contributing to the problem, or if nothing else you’re an enabler.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last 20 years you know that having units over 60 days old is stupid and a horrible business practice.
If you weren’t mad before this email I hope you’re mad now. Go ahead be mad at me for saying it’s stupid for you to have units over 60 days old.
That’s probably your problem in the first place. You want to blame somebody else. Sure blame me for your madness because that’s what having units over 60 days is.
It’s madness. That’s all I’m gonna say. Tommy Gibbs
