  • Industry Slop

    Started off interesting, back when Musk would occasionally reply to some of his posts and his page actually got engagement on X.

    How to burn your “brand?” Hire two incredibly off-putting hosts, one of whom rarely speaks (from within the industry, of course), transition to a newsletter that seems more like an ad platform than actual news, and host interviews that are really just sales pitches.

    Started out as a cool podcast. It’s just turned into the person being interviewed bragging about themselves.

  • Time well spent

    I recently started listening to the show and now look forward to listening daily. The only downfall to listening during my commute is the inability to take notes. I started listening a second time to jot down notes and how I want to apply some of the things shared on the show. Thanks for a great product, keep up the great work CDG team!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Criscione on Margin Compression, Highstreet on Liability, WE Auto on Culture | Daily Dealer Live
Q: What makes Ken Criscione focus on off-street and service-drive acquisition from the finance seat?
He believes it speeds up the sales cycle, improves customer experience, and helps secure better terms through a broader collaboration with lenders, while building a more comprehensive customer journey that starts before the showroom and continues after the sale.
"Own It, Don't Owe It!" The Dealer Debt Trap Nobody Is Talking About & What Operators Need to Know | Marcello Sciarrino, Co-Owner at Island Auto Group
Q: What is your view on the broker model and its impact on consumers?
Brokers can be acceptable if they truly advocate for the consumer and provide transparent pricing, but the current model where brokers take large fees without clear consumer benefit harms buyers and undermines trust.
Fixed Ops Friday w/ Nicholson, Rivera | Daily Dealer Live
Q: How do you incentivize MPI performance in pay plans?
Implement a 90% or higher target for MPI delivery to qualify for a portion of gross, aligning advisor compensation with service performance.
Fixed Ops Friday w/ Nicholson, Rivera | Daily Dealer Live
Q: How did you arrive at not having GMs at the store level, Spencer?
We've found that eliminating GMs, and instead empowering store-level managers with full transparency and defined ownership over P&L, drives quicker decision-making and clearer accountability across all stores.
Hurst on Career Growth, Crowell on Transparent Ads, Dobbs on Compliance | Daily Dealer Live
Q: What is the core message the legal guests emphasize about price transparency and compliance?
The core message is alignment across website disclosures, digital retailing, and in-store practices; all-in pricing should be consistent and all government fees included in advertised prices to avoid UDAP issues, with ongoing auditing of tech vendors and third-party platforms.
