APD’s debut book, Show Me the Money! has been billed as the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide available to automotive dealers and OEM’s. The essential guide to maximising business performance in today’s marketplace is now available to buy on the APD website (https://apd-group.com/product/show-me-the-money/), priced £89.99.
Written by a group of experienced industry consultants at APD – the leading training and consultancy business for the global automotive industry – Show Me the Money! covers everything from essential business management, finance, sales, after-sales and operations to marketing and leadership, with detailed explanations of key principles and best practices in every chapter.
In any dealership, the difference between profit or loss depends upon highly marginal differences across many activities and performance variables. These range from how many vehicles are sold and serviced to departmental and overhead expenses. This working manual will help managers and their teams understand and improve critical financial and operational processes, controls and reports.
Mat Hutchin, Commercial Director at APD, said: “In such a fast-changing business environment, managerial knowledge and skills are vital for leading and motivating your team and maximising profit opportunities. Show Me the Money! is an indispensable tool for automotive managers to build the foundations of a truly successful dealership, improve operational performance and maximise growth opportunities across each business department.”
Practically structured around the dealership’s processes and Key Performance Indicators, Show Me the Money! offers a jargon-free, step-by-step guide to the process of applying Key Performance Drivers and best practices to implement change across a dealership or a particular department and increase performance and profits. Each chapter explains in simple terms how to implement modern best practices to plan for greater achievement in today’s increasingly volatile and demanding marketplace.
Show Me the Money! is relevant to car, motorcycle, and van dealerships and OEM’s, covering all aspects of a dealership’s business management function and detailing the salient principles for process improvement. In addition, the book helps create a foundation for leadership, simplifying the process of building a culture to support behavioural and process change across individual departments whilst managing transitional performance.
To compliment the book, APD Business Management Consultancy offers dealers tailored business improvement solutions with access to best-practice processes and advanced technologies to improve efficiency, along with in-depth training and coaching programme’s to successfully lead their workforce through transition and behavioural change.
