Client profitability is a measure of Conor's success.

Conor keeps close tabs on the financial health of his dealers through goal-tracking, accountability, and monthly composite analysis. This is evidenced not only in the bottom-line growth of his dealer groups, but also in the many success stories of his individual dealers. Here are a few recent examples:

• An import dealer in a major metro-market increasing their F&I gross by over $800 per unit while decreasing expenses. A 109% increase in overall F&I profit over last year.
• A domestic dealer in a medium-sized, metro-market increased their service department profitability by 500% over the previous year.
• A small-market, domestic dealer increased their UV department profit by 267% over last year.  The entire group is up 117% in UV profit over last year.

Most of these successes were achieved through monthly composite and goal-review sessions. Conor is quick to point out that the ultimate success of these goals depends first and foremost upon the level of commitment and execution from the dealer.

As a moderator, Conor believes his core responsibilities are to help his clients identify their biggest opportunities, develop a plan of action, and guide them to the achievement of their goals through coaching and personal accountability.
