The Best Keep Getting Better & Better


"The best-in-class dealerships offer better compensation, therefore they have lower turnover and longer tenure," he said.

Low turnover and long tenure means the best keep getting better because employee productivity improves as a result of on-the-job training. So it's all connected.

Szakaly defines "best in class" as the top 20 percent performing dealerships in net profit gains and cost efficiencies. He says a dealer gets to be best in class from operational know-how.

"It's how one operates their business," he said. "It doesn't have to be a big dealership group to be a best in class."

Correlation == causation, right? Therefore, Standardshift was one of Mary Tyler Moore's organs. Maybe it was her liver?
