One The Velocity Automotive Fixed Operations Playbook- One Dealership

Your customer doesn't care which department caused the problem.They don't care whether Sales forgot to communicate with Service, Parts didn't have the vehicle ready, Used Cars is waiting on an approval, or the BDC never returned the call.To the customer, it is all ONE DEALERSHIP.Yet inside dealerships across the country, departments often operate like separate businesses competing against each other instead of working toward the same goal.ONE DEALERSHIP is a practical playbook for tearing down those walls.Drawing from more than 20 years of real dealership fixed operations experience, Daniel Milom lays out an operating system for connecting Sales, Service, Parts, Used Vehicles, BDC, Accounting, and Management into one coordinated customer-retention and profit machine.This isn't a corporate teamwork book filled with slogans. It's about what actually happens inside a dealership-and how to fix it.Inside you'll learn how to: - Build a Sales-to-Service handoff that creates future service customers
