Top Dealer Educator Justin Osburn Featured at State IADA Conventions

Founder/CEO of ARC and SmartGroups Set to Speak at Florida and Ohio Independent Dealer Events

Nationally known independent auto retail expert and thought leader Justin Osburn will be a featured speaker at two upcoming independent dealer association conferences.

Osburn, founder and CEO of Automotive Reinsurance Concepts and SmartGroups™: 20 Groups Reimagined, will be appearing at the Florida Independent Automobile Dealers Association Convention and Expo, coming up Oct. 2-4 at the Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, and the Ohio IADA Convention on Oct. 15 at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center in Lewis Center, Ohio.

Osburn has served as a dealership sales professional, F&I manager, general manager and owner, and most recently was the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association’s retail 20 Groups moderator/consultant and lead instructor for NIADA’s acclaimed Certified Master Dealer course.

He'll be speaking twice at the Ohio event, with sessions in the morning and afternoon explaining four steps dealers can take to double their sales volume in 60 to 90 days. In addition, he said, those basics can lead to a similar effect on net profitability.

“Increasing volume and increasing profit are not the same conversation, but they cannot be completely separated from each other,” he said. “I’ve seen the volume-related basics I’m going to unpack dramatically increase gross profit along the way.”

In Florida, Osburn will talk about 20 Groups and why dealers should be involved in them, as well as 20 Group best practices, costs, the commitment involved and how being a member can help dealers improve their dealership operations.

Ohio’s Independent Auto Dealer Conference and Expo features dealer education on topics addressing retail, Buy Here-Pay Here, wholesale, finance, compliance and more, as well as more than 35 industry partners and vendors offering the latest products and services in digital technology, marketing, financing, F&I, service, accounting and much more.
