NADA University Launches Dealership “All-Stars” Program
MCLEAN — NADA University has launched a video series called “NADA U All-Stars” to recognize dealership personnel who have turned skills and ideas generated from NADA U programs into successful practice at their stores.
“Every day, dealerships are putting creative ideas into successful practice based on what they learned from NADA U programs, and we want to pay special tribute to those individuals who are taking charge and leading those efforts,” said John Lyboldt, vice president of dealership operations for NADA. “We also hope this series will spark new ideas that will help dealerships across the country grow their business.”
Dealership professionals can share their success story by submitting a “60-Second Success Story” video that describes the skill or idea and its connection to a NADA U training program, how it was implemented, whether there were any obstacles to overcome, and how it turned out to be effective when put into practice, reported F&I and Showroom magazine.
Sample videos and details on how to create a simple YouTube-style video and upload it are available at www.NADAUAllStars.com.
Interested parties also can stop by the NADA University booth in the main lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the NADA/ATD Convention & Expo to shoot their video story on the spot.
