Chris Collins says NADA is a convention company obsessed with attendance, not fixing the auto-dealer industry. When dealers struggle, more of them show up to events looking for answers, so NADA has no incentive to actually solve anything.
What I realized is I, I was looking in the wrong place. Like, we have this saying here that people are trying to tell you who they are, but we just don't want to listen. Ends up that. I thought nada was in the business of making dealers better. They're in the convention business. They're just in the business of getting people to attend a convention. They're a convention company. They do that pretty well. The worst that the industry does arguably could be better for attendance. Oh, because there's more solutions if they're doing worse. Well, so there. People are certainly more willing to go to something if they're looking for answers, but giving them the answers, like, you don't, like you don't want to fix it.
