LAS VEGAS — Top F&I trainer Ron Reahard will serve as luncheon speaker at the second annual Agent Summit, to be held March 12–14, 2012, at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. He joins an event roster that already includes keynote speakers John Braganini of Great Lakes Companies and Paul Webb of Paul Webb Training.

Reahard is the president of Reahard & Associates and the author of the firm’s customized, in-dealership training programs. He also is a highly sought-after speaker, having led training sessions for the NADA, state and local dealer associations and the annual F&I Conference, among others.

Reahard plans to share his thoughts on the importance of general agents to their dealer clients. “The focus is on bringing value to dealers,” he told F&I and Showroom, noting that agents are particularly well-positioned to help dealers respond to changes in the economic climate and the industry itself. “That’s what agents have to do: help dealers,” he said.

David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom, said Reahard represents one of the best representatives the dealer segment has to offer. “Our goal was to deliver a show that agents can call their own, and be proud of,” he said. “Part of that effort is bringing top-flight speakers like Ron Reahard to the fore.”

Agent Summit 2012 is presented by Agent Entrepreneur in partnership with F&I and Showroom. For more information or to register, visit www.agentsummit.com.
