Evans will share his strategies for hiring with fellow dealers during his retail session \u201cLessons on hiring that changed my dealership\u201d at the 2024 NIADA Convention and Expo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt took a lot of time and effort to get here,\u201d Evans said. \u201cYou have to be dedicated to the process. But it\u2019s worked. I doubled my net income, and it opened up more opportunities. I\u2019m now competing with the franchise dealers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans points out dealers must be intentional when hiring and onboarding, comparing it to planting a seed that takes time to grow. After developing a process, consistency is critical to helping staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s done so much for me. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve built my dealership on,\u201d Evans said. \u201cI want others to experience that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evans\u2019 presentation is one of several retail breakout sessions during the NIADA Convention and Expo June 17-20 at the Wynn in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full education lineup features five tracks in addition to retail \u2013 BHPH, management, marketing and compliance.
