CENTREVILLE, Va. -
Carfax will begin a new Webinar series next week that it says can facilitate stronger used-vehicle sales for dealers by guiding them to a more firm understanding of the latest industry trends, best practices and technologies.
The debut PowerUp seminar begins at noon (EST) on Dec. 17 and will run 45 minutes. This particular session will delve into utilizing wireless technology in acquiring vehicles. The remaining 17 Webinars in the series will examine a wide variety of dealership operational functions, with each session being devoted to one specific topic.
Examples of topics include pricing, advertising and social networking.
Other auto-related companies will be featured in the Webinars, as well.
“I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the information presented in Carfax Webinars,” shared Bruce Allen, of A&T Chevrolet Subaru in Sellersville, Pa.
“Six of our employees, myself included, all recently attended one and came away with helpful tips that we implemented right away and saw real results,” he added. “It’s encouraging to see companies like Carfax supporting dealers by providing resources like these Webinars that help us sell more cars and make more money.”
Carfax’s director of dealer business Lance Vickery added: “It can be difficult to keep up with the constant changes within the used-car market.
“These Webinars are an easy way for dealers everywhere to gain more knowledge but also share their thoughts and questions with peers who likely are experiencing similar issues,” Vickery continued. “Together with other industry experts, we’re sharing information we know helps dealers stay on top of their game.”
Carfax said it will host at least one Webinar a month until December 2011. Each will be held at noon on a Friday.
