CARY, N.C. -

Buy-here, pay-here might be one of the most intimate parts of the automotive industry. Participants take some of the biggest risks and help to provide transportation to individuals who have little financial means but need a vehicle the most.

For the September/October issue of BHPH Report, we’re looking to highlight executives, operators and managers who flourish in this space, what we’ve dubbed “Movers & Shakers.” And we need your help to make sure we highlight some of the most talented BHPH professionals.

Through Tuesday, Sept. 13, we’re accepting nominations for our next print edition of BHPH Report dedicated to “Movers & Shakers.” You can send nominations to BHPH Report senior editor Nick Zulovich at nzulovich@cherokeemediagroup.com. All we ask is for the company’s logo, a high-resolution head shot of the BHPH professional and a few comments stemming from these three questions:

—Why does this individual have a passion for the BHPH industry?

—How has this individual adapted to the changing demands of BHPH?

—How does this individual make the company and fellow employees better?

“While the industry has been the subject of misconstrued and negative conclusions about what buy-here, pay-here might be, automotive experts know the true importance and value this slice of the industry possesses, and why BHPH participants are so talented and successful,” said Bill Zadeits, publisher of BHPH Report.

“We hope this issue captures why buy-here, pay-here is one of the most innovative and pioneering pieces of the entire industry,” Zadeits continued.

Along with highlighting “Movers & Shakers,” the September/October issue of BHPH Report also will share a preview of what’s coming during the 13th annual fall conference hosted by the National Alliance of Buy-Here, Pay-Here Dealers. The conference, whose theme is “Best Practices to Succeed Now,” is designed for both new and experienced operators and is set for the first days of November.

The issue will also have a collection of recommendations from BHPH experts to enhance compliance and other operational departments.

So if you know of an industry professional who should be included in our next issue putting the spotlight on “Movers & Shakers,” send your nominations and responses to the questions listed above to BHPH Report senior editor Nick Zulovich (nzulovich@cherokeemediagroup.com).
