Want to Reduce Service Pain and Improve Service Performance?

Join us at Dealer Week on Monday, Dec. 4th from 1:00 to 3:30 p.m. for a Service Management Special Event.

​

​

The service department spends its time working to keep your customers afloat and happy, enjoying the boating lifestyle. It can also play a leading role in keeping your business afloat and profitable in uncertain times. 

You and your team are facing the challenge of holding onto customers, employees and profits despite rising costs, falling boat sales, aging inventory and workforce shortages.

This special event can offer you data, education and insight to gain a deeper understanding of the obstacles getting in the way of maximum service success and to effectively navigate them, reducing your service team’s stress and boosting your dealership’s results.

You’ll leave this Special Event with specific tools you can apply and actions you can take back at the dealership to grow service profits, amp up customer loyalty and improve employee retention.
