Client to Vendor relationships are critical to reaching your full potential.

Fortunately, we will be talking about this exact, timely topic.

'How to Optimize, Maximize and Monetize You Dealer-Provider Relationships' is a presentation where everyone attending hashtag#UCW could easily benefit.

If you sell things to Dealers or if you buy things from Auto-facing Service Providers, you are the audience we are looking to assist!

I will be onsite from Monday through the close on Thursday. Even though my availability is quickly slimming, I will always make time to meet you, discuss a challenge or opportunity, introduce you...whatever you need.

Safe travels and get ready for a fantastic week in hashtag#Scottsdale at hashtag#UsedCarWeek.

Happiest birthday wishes to my beautiful daughter, Andrea Seymour 🎂🎂🎂

You were such a beautiful baby, my baby girl, my little tiny princess.
My Andrea Maria Louisa Katrina. My Gigi.🤱👼

You talked in complete sentences when they hoped you might know a few words.👏 No kidding!

You took charge with your siblings/minions with or without my knowledge or permission😂 I don't know how I would have made it through without all of your insightful advice when you were 5 years old!

You have always been a friend to everyone, making sure everyone was included at all times. 🩷

You set your own path, rarely influenced by what everyone else thought was cool.👍

You became more determined to cut your path each day.... And you lived your best life with every single step, every single move, every location you lived around the world. 🌍

You have always made friends everywhere you landed and worked your tail off, which helped you make even more friends and lasting relationships.🌟

You were always cautious, but made courageous, deliberate moves. 🤯

You pressed yourself when others were taking a rest.

Your determination was present on all the good days and all the other days.🙌

You set standards and expectations for yourself farther beyond what you and I ever discussed.

You have traveled the world for fun and adventure, for business, for no reason...and continue to expand your heart and mind wide open with every adventure...and apparently, there's always room for more.

You chose a wonderful partner in crime, in business, in parenthood for this beautiful life.👰🤵‍♂Yea, Brian! My son-in-love

You brought the most precious boy into the world and we all love you for it.👶 Jordan, my sweet, six year old sidekick! 🥰🥰🥰

You help people make their dreams come true with their homes and you help charities touch people's lives in a way that touches my heart. 🏡

You are an incredible daughter...and now that we are at this point in life, you are my treasured friend. 👭

You have a gift of bringing joy and smiles to everyone in the room, all happier in an instant when you walk in. 😁☺️🥰

You have accomplished amazing things in life, in business, yet somehow it seems you're just getting started.📈

It's been an incredible journey to watch you live your life to its absolute fullest, my dear Andrea.

I hope you always remember how much you are loved by so many people.

Today we are all celebrating you.

Happiest birthday, Andrea!!!🥰🥰🥰
Love you forever- <3 mom

What do today's busy Dealers want?
Better results, more sales, seamlessly. More value an massive ROI from the money they invest in Marketing and Service Providers of all types. Greater predictability and confidence in their forecasting.
I haven't even mentioned Market Share goals and solutions for their People/Staffing challenges.
They want those they are paying to help train their teams, offer superior insights and reporting and not forget them after the contract is signed.

Yes, Dealers want and need all of these. Making a healthy profit is Step One. Leading an operation running at its full potential is rare air.

What do today's busy Service Providers want?
They want to talk with the right people who are committed to understanding how their products and services answer their questions, solve their challenges.

They want to have a bit of respect from Dealers for their meetings, meeting times and the inclusion of key leaders. They want to be given a chance to prove their full value through and with your team, and they want you to know that their solution alone will never, ever meet its potential without your assistance and commitment.

If any of this is familiar and you would like to learn more, join me as I will share how you can all increase the results with your relationship.

We'll show you how to create real, successful business partnerships. Join in at 11:15a in the General Session hall on Wednesday.

I recommend that all Leaders and Associates participating in performance evaluation take 60 seconds to watch this important video. Heading into the final quarter of the year requires us to slow down and assess all of our measuring and metrics before conducting these evaluations.

Leaders: What gains can we make in our evaluations of our people?

Are we making every effort to ensure we are addressing and assessing the individual properly?

We have to consider how our emotions and personal opinions could be affecting the careers of the people who are counting on us...
Never mind that the company brought them on for a reason.

Associates: Will you catalog your accomplishments and keep them in front of your leadership team?

Also, will you commit to asking for any promises in writing and what timelines you can agree to.

We all have to do our part and be proactive. Sometimes, this is all it takes to reverse a cycle.

All: As long as there are subjective factors, performance evaluations and compensation adjustments will never be a perfect science.

Owners and Business Leaders: How do you evaluate the evaluations your team conducts for their direct reports?

Make no mistake, at least two contributing factors denigrate any performance evaluation processes.

1. A system designed with a numbers only approach with little regard for personal contribution and accomplishments.

2. A system allowing too many subjective decisions without accountability.

Design a process that only does evaluations on your leaders after they have evaluated theirreports nd you have had a chance to review their efforts.

Part of their evaluation should be these evaluations.

Again, enjoy this funny, but also biting video as we head into performance evaluation season.
Let's do better, because we can do better.
