The role of any exceptional facilitator or consultant is to work themselves out of a job.

– Bill Capodagli

Actionable Strategies, Not Just Talk

Most auto dealer consulting services offer generic advice and leave you to figure out implementation. We take a completely different approach. Our award-winning 4P philosophy examines the critical areas that make or break your dealership: Products, People, Processes, and Promotions. This comprehensive methodology allows us to pinpoint exactly what works and what needs improvement in your operation.

Our consulting team brings decades of frontline automotive experience to your dealership. We have worked as salespeople, managers, and directors, giving us real-world insights that theoretical consultants simply cannot match. Every recommendation we provide comes from proven techniques that have generated measurable results across thousands of dealerships nationwide.

Products

Analyze your inventory mix, pricing strategies, and vehicle presentation to ensure you’re offering the right products at the right price points.

People

Develop your team through effective hiring, training, and management practices that create a customer-focused sales culture.

Processes

Streamline operations with proven workflows that improve efficiency, customer experience, and ultimately your bottom line.

Promotions

Optimize your marketing mix across digital and traditional channels to generate quality leads and maximize your advertising ROI.

Targeted Solutions for Specific Dealership Needs

Every dealership deserves a no-cost, obligation-free discovery call, regardless of whether you decide to pursue a partnership. For dealerships looking to address specific operational areas without a full commitment, we offer specialized automotive dealership consulting services that deliver exceptional value:

Full Mystery Shop

Measure the quality of messaging coming from your store across all communication channels: phone calls, voicemail, email, chat, text, social media, and video. By mirroring actual customer behaviors, we evaluate the consistency and quality of your messaging, processes, and overall customer experience from your sales staff, BDC/Internet teams, and service departments. This assessment also measures your competitive reputation in the marketplace.

SWOT Analysis

We accumulate data based on our professional assessment of your dealership’s people, marketing, promotions, and operations, conducting a thorough analysis of their respective strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Once completed, we review the SWOT assessment with your executive management team and provide consultative feedback with an advised plan of action to elevate your dealership to the next level.

CRM Audit

Conducting a full audit and analysis of your CRM is vital for dealership success. You invest significantly in these powerful systems, but most dealers use only a fraction of their capabilities. We identify pitfalls and missed opportunities, then develop an action plan specific to your store that may include templates and scripts for email, text, voicemail, video, and social media. The audit also examines integration with other in-house programs, CRM automation, training, and utilization.

Marketing/Advertising Audit

Our marketing experts conduct a comprehensive analysis of both digital and traditional marketing efforts, including your website, social media, third-party lead sources, SEM campaigns, YouTube channel, radio campaigns, newspaper or mailer campaigns, and other marketing channels. The audit provides complete direction on which sources are succeeding and which are failing to deliver ROI.

HR / Employee Audit

This analysis examines all aspects of your staffing and recruitment procedures, including current staff, positions, recruitment strategies, onboarding and training, job descriptions, appropriate staffing levels, and scheduling. A Dealer Synergy Certified HR Specialist identifies your business goals and analyzes whether your current HR infrastructure, strategies, and procedures align with and support those objectives.

Vendor Partner Audit

Your relationships with vendors significantly impact your success. We evaluate the outside companies you contract with, assess the work they perform on your behalf, conduct a vendor ROI assessment, and make recommendations to ensure you receive maximum value from these partnerships. Our goal is to verify these relationships are healthy, productive, and deliver the results you pay for.
