Webinar Alert: A Deeper Look At Provision ProfitTime And Its Potential

Published Date
Author Dale Pollak

I’m excited to take part in an Automotive News webinar at 1 p.m. CST tomorrow to share vAuto’s latest innovation, our Provision ProfitTime metric and methodology.

I’ll be joined by my ProfitTime co-creator, Chris Stutsman, who serves as vAuto’s director of innovation.

 

Our goal will be to help dealers gain a better understanding of how/why we developed ProfitTime, and why we believe ProfitTime represents a game-changing opportunity for dealers who want to more consistently and effectively manage their used vehicles and inventories as investments, and more actively mitigate margin compression.

You learn more about the webinar and register here.
