Your success is phenomenal. I think that the fact that you assumed the position of UCM and found the Velocity Method of Management about the same time, speaks volumes about your success. In other words, there is very little about used car management that you had to unlearn and let loose of. Your story serves as an inspiration to both me and others. Keep up the great work and please forgive me for not yet visiting. I'll ask my assistant, Susan to reach out to you and see if we can't find a time that works. Thanks, and again, congratulations.<br><br>Dale Brad,

Previously I was a sales manager and got a promotion as I have been here for 3 and a half years and had some success desking and closing deals and overlooking finance and the sales consultants. I was excited about the new challenge and needed some insight as I have never managed a used car department. In March I got a chance to go to a seminar which was hosted by Dale Pollack and Bill Reidy on Vauto. My GM and I decided after the seminar to move ahead and purchase the system. The results are fantastic. We went from 3 to 1 new to used to about 1 to 1. Since the purchase I have a mentor, Dave Rinaldi, who has conference calls with me and helps manage my inventory. We are currently turning our retail inventory 16.8 times a year as compared to 8 in the past. The results were immediate. Our average days in inventory went from 48 down to 22. And get this OUR GROSS per unit stayed the same on double the units! Velocity is the only way to be in the used car business today. Thank you Dave for all your help and lets keep improving. Thanks Dale for your presentation and product and I'm still waiting for you to come to our store as per our conversation in March!

You lost my interest with the dishonest approach.
