This year, NADA Show education programming will feature a preview of NADA’s newest dealership management training program, the NADA Professional Series. Attendees will see first-hand why dealership managers are looking to this program to supercharge their careers.

The NADA Professional Series educates the next level of dealership department managers and equips them with the tools they need to advance both their careers and their respective dealerships in the ever-changing automotive industry.

Georgia Munson, a NADA Academy instructor,  will provide an in-depth look at this program, where dealership managers will learn to improve departmental profitability and gain the confidence to secure leadership roles in the departments they choose.

“Inventory is one of the dealership’s most valuable assets, and as a new manager it is imperative to understand the best ways to manage your department’s inventory – whether you are selling cars, parts, service labor or reconciling those inventories for proper accounting each month,” says Munson. “Without proper inventory management, you run the risk of your biggest asset becoming your biggest expense.”
