Scott Keogh: Optimistic about future of dealerships
If we took a poll of how many automakers actually considered your dealership when developing ideas for the future of auto retail and how those ideas impacted your dealership for the good, it would be interesting to see the results.

An idea to promote your dealership to more women
Say you want more women working at your dealership, promoting the fact that they can benefit from working in auto retail with things like paid time off, health insurance, 401k programs, etc. Well, the NADA has come up with a way to do that. The NADA is spotlighting women in automotive by launching a video competition. They’re asking women to make a video, share their experience in auto retail, and post the video on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the hashtag #WomenInAutomotive. Videos must be posted by March 20th to be considered. Watch Now
