BTA to Host ProFinance 2.0 Oct. 8-9 in Tempe, Arizona
Kansas City, MO — On Oct. 8-9, the Business Technology Association
(BTA;www.bta.org) will host ProFinance 2.0 in Tempe, Arizona. The workshop will be presented at BTA member dealership ProCopy Office Solutions Inc.
Over the last 13 years, the principles of ProFinance have dramatically
improved the performance of hundreds of dealerships. The workshop has
evolved to adapt to industry changes and has incorporated those changes into
the new industry model. The model consists of more than 30 key benchmarks,
including those for MPS, and has helped dealerships achieve double-digit
operating income.
John Hey and Todd Johnson of Strategic Business Associates
(www.strategicbusinessassoc.com) will lead the ProFinance 2.0 workshop.
They will share their knowledge from 25-plus years of building some of the largest
dealerships in North America and their experience advising many of the most
successful companies in the industry.
This hands-on training will provide practical ideas that can be put into
action immediately. It will provide attendees the competitive edge that is so vital
in today's marketplace through proven sales and service plans, effective
management bonus programs and critical organizational strategies.
ProFinance is one of BTA’s longest-running educational workshops and
has received many positive reviews through the years. Among the comments
from recent attendees:
"The workshop provided me with greater insight and a better
understanding of the financial benchmark tool. This will help me make
better decisions as a manager to help our company meet our goals. I felt
that John Hey and Todd Johnson did an excellent job presenting the
material and showed their exceptional knowledge of our industry." —
John Welch, Southwest Office Systems Inc., Dallas, Texas
"Brilliant! Marvelous! Stupendous! For two years, I've searched for a tool
to rate my company's performance. I needed one that has benchmarks, a
clear growth path and could be 'tuned' to my dealership. BTA's
ProFinance course is a solid tool and an easy-to-understand framework
for getting a dealership into shape." —
