Houston, Texas - The National Alliance of Buy Here, Pay Dealers (NABD) successfully completed the East Coast Buy Here, Pay Here Conference (BHPH) in Atlanta, Ga. Operators from around the United States and internationally attended the 3-day event which ended Oct. 23.

The educational program began with twelve dual track workshop sessions on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. Workshop topics included legal and regulatory matters, finding the best employees, IRS audits, leasing, integrated system solutions, finding the best customers, maximizing recoveries, telephone collection tips, payment devices, skip-tracing, avoiding underwriting mistakes, alternative credit data, alternative repayment solutions, internet best practices and finding capital. NABD will offer audio recordings of all the Atlanta sessions. They will include a disc with all PowerPoint presentations made during the conference. NABD also announced that it will hold a two-day Dealer Academy for both new and experienced BHPH operators on May 19-21, 2013 at the Wynn Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The 2012 Academy was sold out, and provided in-depth training on how to succeed in BHPH today. The 15th Annual NABD Conference will follow the Academy on May 21-23, 2013 also at the Wynn.
