When the tide turns, your first reaction may be to cut costs or chase more sales. But those are only band-aids when a much more comprehensive approach is needed.  

You can’t effectively attack a problem by only dealing with one or two parts of the challenge. You need a systematic approach.  

That’s why we invited leadership coach Dave Newell to give this session on the seven levers that marine retailers can intentionally pull to increase efficiency, align their team and drive profit, even when the market is slow. 

These levers aren’t theory. They’re practical, proven areas within your business that you can optimize right now. But here's the catch: it’s not enough to pull one or two. The dealers who win long-term address all seven. 

During the session, we’ll name and provide resources to help you improve all seven levers. However, we’ll dive deeply into three that are particular painful for many of you right now and often flow together: People, Process and Cost. We’ll show what "high performance" looks like in those three areas and give you a worksheet to assess your dealership’s strengths, gaps and action priorities. 

• Identify the seven levers that directly impact profitability 

• Evaluate your dealership’s performance in each of the seven areas – diving deep into People, Process and Cost 

• Prioritize immediate approaches in People, Process and Cost that can be taken for short-term gain 

• Create a clear action plan to implement shifts in your dealership to boost profitability
