Four Power Moves to Supercharge Your Profits

1. Master Your Cost Per Vehicle Sold (CPVS)

This is your profit crystal ball! When you know exactly what each vehicle costs you to sell—from acquisition to advertising to commissions—you gain the superpower of precision pricing. Most dealers leave money on the table because they’re flying blind on true costs.

Your Action Plan: Create a detailed profit tracker for every single vehicle. Once you identify your profit champions (specific models and price ranges), you can focus your energy on the winners and watch your margins soar!

2. Turn Your Inventory Into a Profit Machine

Think of your lot as a high-performance engine—the faster it turns, the more power it generates! Quick inventory turnover means more sales opportunities, better cash flow, and happier customers who see fresh options.

Your Action Plan: Set up a “days on lot” alert system using market insights and your sales data. When a vehicle hits your target threshold, it’s time for strategic price adjustments or dealer trades that keep your inventory fresh and your cash flowing.

3. Transform Financing Into Your Secret Weapon

Smart financing isn’t just an add-on service—it’s a profit multiplier! When done right, offering financing can dramatically increase your sales volume while creating an additional revenue stream.

Your Action Plan: Build bulletproof approval criteria and create competitive yet profitable terms. With solid tracking systems, you’ll turn financing from a risk into your competitive advantage.

4. Master the Art of Seasonal Success

Seasonal fluctuations aren’t obstacles—they’re opportunities to outmaneuver your competition! While others panic during slow periods, prepared dealers use these times to optimize operations and capture market share.

Your Action Plan: Develop your 12-month profit forecast and build your “opportunity fund” for strategic investments during quieter months. Launch targeted promotions, expand service offerings, or introduce value-added packages that keep revenue flowing year-round.

Your Two Non-Negotiable Success Metrics

1. Gross Profit Per Vehicle Retail (GPVR) – Your Profit Pulse

This is the heartbeat of your dealership! GPVR shows you exactly how much money each sale puts in your pocket after all costs. Watching this metric like a hawk helps you spot trends, optimize pricing, and ensure every deal contributes to your success.

Success Insight: Consistent GPVR growth signals you’re building a truly profitable operation, not just a busy one.

2. Inventory Turn Rate – Your Efficiency Engine

This powerhouse metric reveals how effectively you’re converting inventory into cash. High turnover rates mean you’re maximizing every dollar invested while keeping customers excited about fresh inventory.

Success Insight: Faster turns equal more profit opportunities and stronger cash flow—the foundation of dealership growth.
