6 Month Coaching Plan

Following an initial enquiry and consultation, it was agreed that we would spend one day a month over a six month period with the dealer. This began with a full evaluation of the dealers performance.

This gave us four key KPIs to work with and towards.

How We Helped

We looked at the true potential and agreed the processes, and coaching, that would deliver an uplift in performance. Each month we would evaluate the performance, work with the team, and agree the key actions to make the next step on the 6-stage plan.

At the end of the project, stock turn increased to 9.4 from 8.2; GPU increased by £72pu; IPUD increased from £231 to £396pu. In addition, the cost base reduced by £42kPA owing to a reduction in the spend on advertising following a full evaluation of the source, and profitability, of each enquiry.

This resulted in a six-figure increase in GP for the dealer (6 months) with an annual forecast of £250k growth.

A testament to Neil Egan

Unannounced visit by me, and 2 of the team were outside attending to the used car display, which was immaculate, and I just couldn’t find fault.

Increased stock turn and margin

Got recommended to Sentience by a trade contact who told me "these guys will cost you but worth it". We had to increase our stock turn but didn't want to lose margin at the same time.
