The Future of Car Dealerships Depends on AI Integration

Inside Automotive with Jim Fitzpatrick, powered by CBT News

Brian Benstock and Jay Abraham explore how automotive retailers can leverage artificial intelligence and strategic thinking to transform their businesses and thrive amidst industry disruption.
• Origins of Benstock and Abraham's professional relationship dating back to the 1980s when Benstock attended Abraham's seminar on "how to sell anything to anybody"
• Three fundamental ways to increase sales: increase volume of transactions, increase amount per transaction, and increase frequency
• The danger of becoming "successfully stuck" in comfortable but limiting business practices
• Looking outside the automotive industry for innovative business models and customer experience approaches
• How incremental improvements across multiple business processes can yield exponential growth
• Why time has become more valuable than money for today's consumers, and how service pickup/delivery models capitalize on this shift
• Viewing AI as a tool for business expansion rather than merely cost reduction
• The importance of "funnel vision" - borrowing success approaches from outside the industry
• How to empower every team member with AI tools to create cumulative impact
• Starting with small AI implementations that generate revenue to fund larger innovation
