AIADA Partners with SmartGroups™
SmartGroups™ Introduces Low-Cost, State-Specific 20 Groups for Alabama Dealers
The Alabama Independent Automobile Dealers Association has joined with SmartGroups™: 20 Groups Reimagined in a partnership that includes an innovative new concept in 20 Groups that puts the advantages of membership within reach of virtually every dealer.
SmartGroups Lite are state-specific 20 Groups designed to minimize the time spent away from the dealership and the costs of travel and accommodations. Alabama’s SmartGroups Lite include primarily dealers from Alabama, with all meetings held within the state on an accelerated two-day schedule.
Members of SmartGroups Lite still have the benefit of the industry’s best moderators/consultants and best meeting content, topics and speakers, but in less time and at lower cost.
“We’re excited to launch a very first in 20 Groups,” SmartGroups founder and CEO Justin Osburn said. “Low prorates, no air travel necessary, all dealers from within the state. Thanks to AIADA, this is literally the most affordable 20 Group program ever offered to retail dealers in Alabama.”
The joint venture will also provide other education and training opportunities for AIADA’s member dealers.
“Helping Alabama dealers become more successful is a top priority for AIADA, and this is just what we need,” AIADA executive director Randy Jones said.
“Seventy percent of our dealers are the ‘little guys’ who don’t have time or resources for traditional 20 Groups. Partnering with SmartGroups brings top-level education and knowledge within reach of those dealers. They can drive in, meet with fellow dealers and industry experts right here in Alabama and take full advantage of the opportunity to improve their operations and become more efficient.”
Lite 20 Groups are available in every state in which the IADA is partnered with SmartGroups.
If your state IADA isn’t partnered with SmartGroups and you’re interested in joining a SmartGroups Lite, contact your state association’s executive director or email SmartGroups director Howard Bullock at howard@smart20groups.com.
