A short spoken presentation by Chris Collins that frames the car dealership business model and argues dealers often misapply effort because they fail to identify where true leverage lies. Collins contrasts dealership operations with manufacturing (dealers do not design or build cars) and stresses focusing on controllable, high-leverage activities for success.
So what we're going to talk about today is the overarching, like, business model of a car dealership. And I think a lot of times we think about this in a, in a, in a way that is.
Counterintuitive to us being successful in the sense that we're not thinking about where the leverage is in the business. We're, we're applying our effort and, and pressure in places where there is no leverage because we really have no control. And so if we just think about dealerships.
The, the dealership model is not a model where there is an entrepreneur, like a dealer, that goes out and designs a car and has a car manufactured that that isn't the model. Nobody is creating anything like.
