Plugging into the future of automotive retail

Plugging into the future of automotive retail

How has COVID-19 changed the way we buy and sell cars? What trends are being accelerated due to new needs for social distancing and other safety measures? What impact does this have on how auto dealerships are structured? And how does this all plug into a future where virtual or contactless sales experiences are likely to become the norm? Tune in to this episode to hear from special guests Brian Benstock, general manager and vice president of the No. 1 certified Honda and Acura dealer in the world (Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura in NY) and Chris Spensley, automotive retail performance coach and leader within Deloitte’s Advisory practice.

The industry itself talked about change and creeped towards change, but really resisted it. And it resisted it on every level…The dealers have to embrace the transparency that's inherent in online retailing. And not just the dealers, the OEMs have to embrace that transparency as well.
