The dealer moderators will be leading discussions on sales, inventory, reconditioning, capital, customer retention, underwriting, compliance, employee management and other hot topics during the roundtables, which will include approximately 20 dealers matched by size and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to being part of the BHPH Dealer Forum and helping lead the discussion,\u201d said Stark, the 2025 Texas Quality Dealer of the Year. \u201cIt\u2019s a great opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices with other dealers who are navigating the same challenges and opportunities in our industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs a moderator, my goal is to foster open, practical conversations where everyone walks away with something they can implement right away. I\u2019m especially looking forward to digging into topics around inventory management, compliance and evolving financing strategies \u2014 areas where collaboration and shared experience can really make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smith is looking forward to welcoming dealers to his hometown to share ideas and pick up ideas similar to his 20 Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI find that I tend to learn as much as everyone else in the room when I am leading a meeting,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI am looking forward to the conversation going around the room about what everyone’s ideas are on this challenging time we are in. I want to know what’s working for people. I want to know what’s not working for people. I want to get fresh ideas and fresh perspectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He wants to help dealers find solutions and discuss cash flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is my opinion that cash flow analysis is a largely overlooked component of our industry. In a challenging time, cash is king,\u201d Smith said. \u201cObviously, borrowing money has just gotten a lot more difficult.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI also hope to bring some insight to dealers paying more attention to the accounting side of their business. This is not a car dealership any longer. We are finance companies using automobile sales as a means of loaning money. Therefore, you had better learn how to run a finance company properly. The business has changed so much in the past decade and is continuing to move in the direction it is moving. You’d better know where the pitfalls are, and you’d better know how to see them coming.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Libby will be moderating a roundtable for a third straight year at Dealer Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s such a good conversation. It\u2019s like a 20 Group, but you are in there with dealerships with more variance. I\u2019ve found a lot of value going. I\u2019m there to learn as well and take things away every time. I enjoy being part of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI kick the first domino and the rest take care of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with the popular dealer roundtables, there will be three deep-dive workshops and nine education breakout sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/niada.com\/dashboard\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/2025-07-27_TIADA-1661-1024x682.jpg\")
