Unique Workshop Combines Expert Advice and Professional Racing Experience at Chicagoland Speedway

Deerfield BeachFla. -- During a power-packed workshop presented by JMsolutions, OPENLANE, and Carfax, automotive dealers and general managers will learn best practices in inventory management from top industry experts and experience NASCAR-style racing – all in one day.  The “Move Your Inventory” interactive seminar, which includes an unforgettable ride with the Richard Petty Driving Experience, will be held at the Chicagoland Speedway (500 Speedway Blvd. in Joliet, Illinois) on Wednesday, July 23 from 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

 

Participants will learn how to:

·        Improve turn time by up to nine days by increasing consumer confidence

·        And more!

Recently, following a similar workshop, John Pitre, general manager for Motor City Sales and Service in Bakersfield, California commented, “It provided a good overview of the structure needed to run a used car operation in today’s market.  I thought it was very well run and worth the time and investment.”

“Move Your Inventory” will be led by industry experts Doug Hadden, training and development manager, JMsolutions; Ed Curry, vice president, Dealer Services, OPENLANE; and Stephen Granger, process improvement manager, Carfax.
