This Dealer War Game event puts the “keys in your hands” through simulation. It’s your dealership and you have important decisions to make. Who will you hire, how will you train? Who is your target customer? Can you stock your inventory to sell, price competitively and still make a profit? Can your service department handle the demand? Will your bottom line stand up to the competition? Experience the rush of real competition and learn valuable strategy, financial, and business skills at the same time.

• Dealership Teams
• Parts Managers
