Best Practices for Automotive Retailers on Hiring and Retaining Women

The statistics about the importance of women as a consumer are very familiar to all of us. Women account for 85% of all purchases which includes everything from homes to groceries and control TRILLIONS of dollars of wealth in this country. For those of us in the Automotive Industry, we know how vital the women consumers are to all of us; after all, they represent over 65% of our business. The challenge for all of us is how to make our place of business a comfortable place for women to patronize and purchase our products and services.

It goes without saying that the place where business is conducted must be inviting to both the women and men who come through our doors AND it must also reflect the marketplace in which we do business. Having said that, many of us do not know how or where to find the women we need to hire.

Based on my experience here are some suggestions:

• Create awareness that your place of business is hiring women and what career opportunities it has to offer.
• Visit schools and colleges and participate in career days
• Offer intern programs which will help identify and attract talented people
• Offer scholarships in the name of your business
• Join local women’ organizations
• Invite women’s organizations to hold their meetings in your place of business
• Support women’s events in your local community
• Advertise in women’s magazines or trade publications
• Offer incentives to your own employee for referrals
• Speak at the local Chamber of Commerce to get the word out that you are looking for female employees
• Most real estate agents are women so connecting with the local Real Estate business is another resource for hiring women

The importance of word of mouth in addition to formalized advertising is very critical in attracting women employees so the more you can get out into the community, the better the success of finding and hiring talent.

Make certain that your work place policies are conducive to both men and women.

• The workplace should be clean and neat and an inviting one that works for all employees
• It should be inclusive environment where everyone is treated with respect and valued
• Offer not only full time employment but flexible work place policies such as part time, work at home, team selling, job-sharing for everyone not just women. After all, work life balance is an issue for everyone.
• Have a mentor or buddy system not just for women but for the all new hires
• Post “work week” schedules in advance so that employees can plan their “life week”
• Provide processes that will accommodate for input and feedback for workplace improvement
• TRAIN-TRAIN-TRAIN all of your employees to understand how to treat each other in the work place and also how to treat the female customers when they come into your business establishment.

The important key here is to make sure that ALL employees are valued, are treated with respect, and have opportunities for growth.

Turnover in any is business unwanted and it seems that in the Auto Industry there is a higher percentage than other businesses.

By having policies in place to attract and retain talented employees: it will increase your customer base, reduce absenteeism, reduce costs, improve employee morale, and very importantly it will positively impact your bottom line.

CONCLUSION

This compilation of best practices is my insight into what needs to be in place to attract and engage women but it is also important to remember that companies pursue programs and practices that specifically fit your organization, your workers, and your managers. What is most vital is to harness the skills, talents and hard work of everyone on your team.

Customers want to feel comfortable, respected, and trusted and so do your female (and male) employees.

Friday, June 26, 2009 Brokers specialize in dealership transactions

Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle) – by Greg Lamm

With a dozen Puget Sound area car dealerships for sale, and another dozen likely to join them this year, the crash of the nation’s auto industry is hitting local real estate circles. The culling of franchise-holders by GM and Chrysler is also giving stronger dealers a chance to grab better locations,and opening up other car lots for uses such as retail and office space.”The landscape is going to change as we go forward,” said Leon Titus III, a veteran local dealer who recently joined with a pair of real estate brokers to form a dealership property specialty team at Colliers International in Tacoma.

Colliers connected Titus with two veterans of the local commercial real estate world to form a group devoted to selling, leasing and repositioning dealership properties. The specialty team – branded the Northwest Region Colliers Automotive Real Estate Services Group (CARS) – fully expects to stay busy. “Right now everybody is trying to figure out where it’s going and how quickly the change is going to happen,” said Titus, who has 25 years of experience working in the family auto business. “Currently there are about a dozen new-car dealerships on the market in the Puget Sound region,” said Eric Cederstrand, a senior vice president at Colliers International Tacoma, who also is on the CARS team. Some of the dealers have gone bankrupt, Cederstrand said, and some are just shutting down.

Currently, there are about 312 new-vehicle dealers in the state, according to the Washington State Auto Dealers Association. That’s a 9 percent decline since January 2008. The association anticipates another dozen or so dealerships will close in the state this year. Of the 789 dealerships that Chrysler says it is closing, 15 are in Washington, including three in Pierce County. GM has not made public its list of the hundreds of dealerships it plans to close across the nation in the next 18 months. The upheaval has created opportunities for some dealerships looking to grab market share and prime spots in a retail industry that seems to be rapidly consolidating.

In May, Rainier Automotive Group sold two of its three dealerships. One of the buyers was Ford of Kirkland, which purchased Rainier’s Eastside Hyundai dealership in Kirkland for an undisclosed price. In the other sale, Eastside Subaru of Kirkland was sold to Bruce Titus Automotive Group, also for an undisclosed price. Bruce Titus and Leon Titus are brothers. Leon Titus and his team at Colliers were not involved in that deal.

Similar jockeying was on display in February, when Larson Motors Inc. bought property and buildings that housed two dealerships: Nissan of Fife and the Chrysler franchise in Puyallup. Those acquisitions expanded Larson’s dealerships to eight, selling 11 vehicle brands. Larson Motors took over Nissan of Fife from the former owners, including Kevin and Mary Byrne. Larson paid $8 million for the land and the 14,500-square-foot building just off Interstate 5. Some of the dealership sales predate the worst of the current recession. In August, Larson bought the property that houses a former Chrysler franchise in Puyallup. The $7.4 million deal allowed Larson to move to a larger location about a mile away from the former lot. The old Larson site opens up some opportunities for other uses, said Puyallup City Manager Gary McLean. The property is on the city’s River Road, which meanders along the Puyallup River, and could be attractive, McLean said, for retail or recreational use.”It would be nice to take advantage of the riverfront,” McLean said.

Sometimes, the highest and best use of vacant dealership sites might not be another car dealership, said Tom Brown, the third member of the Colliers CARS team. His expertise includes working with commercial landlords and tenants. Location will still drive price, with many dealerships in prime, high-traffic spots. Another factor is the quality of the buildings. GM and other automakers are putting more emphasis on the quality of stores, forcing dealers to maintain “signature” showrooms. That means that owners of older stores are being forced to upgrade or look for newer facilities. One change already happening on the East Coast is that some dealers are locating stores in heavy traffic areas, but choosing to locate service centers out in the hinterlands, where land is cheaper.

In Florida – where the Colliers CARS focus has been in play for several years – brokers are starting to see interest from big institutional investors looking to buy up dealership real estate. That isn’t happening in the greater Seattle area, but there will be more consolidation, Cederstrand said, with large groups controlling more dealerships. “I think the days of the single store may be coming to an end, just because of the capital needed to maintain and upgrade dealerships,” Cederstrand said.

Meanwhile, some of the properties in the Northwest are being marketed with their carmaker brands, which – depending on the make -can add value. But some properties won’t have dealership affiliation. That is where the Colliers team hopes to weigh in, providing advice on valuations for these dealerships, many of which have been owned by families for generations. “We are positioning ourselves in the marketplace to help these dealers out,” Brown said, “to actually give some true value on what their facility is worth with a dealership and without a dealership.”Brown and his fellow CARS team members have been meeting with potential clients in Washington, Oregon and California. They say by building a nationwide network, Colliers will be in a good position to work with potential new players in the market – possibly carmakers from India and China.

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising resource / networking portal that hosts a blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time. Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host of the blog talk radio show featured on WAAOL – Automotive Advertising Experts – announced that he will be interviewing Dale Boone, the President and C.O.O. of www.EveryCarListed.Com , Darell Campbell, the C.E.O. of Every Car Listed and Briggs Ferguson, the President-Internet of Idearc Media LLC on the show that is scheduled to air on Friday, July 24th 2009 between 12:00 Noon EST and 12:30 PM EST.

EveryCarListed.Com is a preferred automotive advertising vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net and both Dale and Darrell have previously appeared on the Automotive Advertising Experts show to discuss thier inventory based automotive advertising website. Philip explained why Dale, Darell and Briggs were invited to update AdAgencyOnline.Net’s audience of automotive advertising agencies and automobile dealers, “EveryCarListed.Com has earned a position as a preferred automotive advertising vendor on AdAgencyOnline.Net based on their unique understanding of both the automobile business and the new automotive advertising technologies being offered on the World Wide Web. For example, I have always been impressed by their integration of social networking to differentiate EveryCarListed.Com from other third party inventory based automotive advertising websites. Their support of the auto industry social networking site – www.AutoIndustryInsights.Com – known as the “Network Of Networkers” evidences their recognition of the need for relationship based selling to satisfy consumer demand.”

“In addition, EveryCarListed.Com recently proved their priority to give online car shoppers what they want by their decision to post videos on their vehicle listings to improve the transparency on their site; another consumer preference that has surfaced as a must have by online shoppers. Our research has confirmed that consumers prefer a video presentation over copy or still pictures when an auto dealer describes a new car or a used car for sale on their site. EveryCarLIsted.Com announced that they are moving towards becoming the only all-video listing site, with one million vehicle video listing available now, and the remaining vehicles on the site expected to offer video by year’s end.”

“Another announcement that warranted Dale’s repeat visit on this week’s Automotive Advertising Experts show is the fact that SuperPages.Com has launched a new “Cars” tab. The link is positioned at the top of their home page allowing consumers to shop for vehicles within their site by accesing all the listings from EveryCarLIsted.Com – including their video listings. The combination of the trafic from SuperPages.Com and the value added video content of EveryCarListed.Com will create a large and powerful all-video shopping arena that will provide a quality venue for auto dealers and an enhanced shopping experience for car buyers. That “win-win” scenario is something that my affiliated automotive advertising agencies, auto dealer clients and site visitors need to know about!”

Superpages.Com is Idearc’s products and services search engine that has more than 27 million unique visitors and ranks 27th in the top 50 U.S. Web properties according to comScore. EveryCarListed.Com was purchased by Idearc media, a subsidiary of Idearc, Inc., in February 2009. A representative of Idearc provided Philip Zelinger with the following press release and related information in advance of the show to help prepare the agenda for Dale’s interview and review of the new all-video platform planned for EveryCarListed.Com:

On the EveryCarListed.com site, consumers can search listings by make, model, fuel economy and many additional preferences. Automobile dealer inventories are listed at a basic service level at no charge to the dealer.

AdAgencyOnline.Net is an automotive advertising resource / networking portal designed to share best practices with their online following of automotive advertising agencies, production partners and select auto industry vendors that share their stated vision to “blur the line between the real and the virtual world.” AutoIndustryInsights.Com has a similar focus however they have extended their audience and message by linking to a number of established automotive advertising social networking sites to include issues that are relevant to automotive advertising agencies, auto dealers, auto industry vendors and even consumers anxious to listen and learn from the site’s featured “Auto Industry Insiders.” Philip Zelinger, the President of Ad Agency Online, L.L.C. and host of the blog talk radio station – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising News All The Time - featured on www.AdAgencyOnline.Net expressed his support for www.AutoIndustryInsights.Com site and their anchor sponsor www.EveryCarListed.Com on the blog talk radio show “Lunch With Phil Discussing Automotive Advertising” that aired on WAAOL on Wednesday, June 3^rd 2009. The show is available as a podcast by visiting http://www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline or http://adagencyonline.net.

Philip Zelinger explained his reasons for selecting EveryCarListed.Com as a preferred automotive advertising vendor on Ad AgencyOnline.Net and his support for their automotive advertising social networking site AutoIndustryInsights.Com, “After 25 years as a General Manager, Executive Dealer Principal and then Auto Dealer, followed by my past 10 years running automotive advertising agencies representing auto dealers and auto industry vendors, I have a unique empathy for my auto dealer / vendor clients. Today’s troubled economy has placed a new urgency on maximizing R.O.I. on all levels. The Internet and the technology driven digital marketing applications and selling systems that are being built to take advantage of the World Wide Web to sell cars and service are growing too fast for the average auto dealer or automotive advertising agency to keep up. AdAgencyOnline.Net serves as a filter of sorts to review cutting edge automotive advertising applications for automotive advertising agencies, however, consumers can be just as confused by the many new resources that they have available on the Internet. Social networking sites populated by fellow consumers provide a new way to share shopping experiences between likeminded consumers before, during and after their purchase however they are missing the auto dealer’s side of the story. Similarly, auto dealers are becoming increasingly aware of the need for them to understand their online customer’s needs in today’s troubled times. AutoIndustryInsights.Com was designed by EveryCarListed.Com to act as a bridge to provide the “inside story” to anyone that visits the site. The “Auto Industry Insiders” section represents several highly respected individuals as well as the auto industry social networking sites and blogging forums that they host.”
