Our new podcast is ready, where I talk with Peter Daniel of ADC-Automotive Dealer Consulting about how successful dealers are responding to shrinking margins on auto sales.  

This ties into my post of a few days ago, "Lower margins, what to do".

1. What dealers can do to offset shrinking margins on sales of new cars
2. Procedures are needed to improve aftersales operations
3. Parts and Service are not "necessary evils"; margins are pretty good!
4. A Dealer Management System (DMS) can help organize Parts and Service
5. Real-world example of good use of Lost Sales reporting
