Dealership loyalty isn't dead. But it's being killed by inventory. In March, 43% of new car shoppers visited only one store before buying. By April? That number fell to 37% according to CDK Global. Same shoppers. Same salespeople. Same incentive programs. What changed: inventory got tighter and the car they came in for wasn't on the lot. My take? Inventory mix is the single biggest differentiator between stores that are winning right now and stores that are bleeding traffic. The dealerships that stock right are going to own the next 12 months. ____ Data via CDK Global Ease of Purchase Study, check it out for more shopper behavior trends here: https://lnkd.in/gXGDFtWy

Day 1 at CDKConnect Live. Just wrapped up a network presentation on the new Cloud Connect offering. A lot of the conversation today centered around something dealerships are struggling with right now: How do you simplify network management while improving uptime, visibility, and security across every rooftop? The old model of “just keep adding circuits and appliances” is getting harder to manage at scale. SD-WAN is changing that conversation. Better traffic visibility. Smarter failover. Application-aware routing. Centralized management. And more control over how critical dealership systems move across the network. The interesting part isn’t just the technology. It’s how much networking is becoming a business continuity conversation instead of just an IT conversation. When the network goes down… sales stops. service slows. communication breaks. operations feel it immediately. Looking forward to more conversations this week around infrastructure, resiliency, and where dealership networking is heading next. Next up: cybersecurity and communications/phone systems. Because the reality is… the network is no longer just “the network.” Voice, security, cloud applications, SD-WAN, identity protection, and business continuity are all becoming part of the same conversation. The dealerships that understand that shift early are going to be in a much stronger position over the next few years.

" Let's say 10% of buyers have a bad experience with the salesperson or a bad experience overall. We sell over a million cars a month, that's 100,000 people a month that aren't happy." Customer perception of dealership salespeople may be improving. David Thomas, Director, Content Marketing at CDK Global, explains how better training and pricing transparency may be helping drive the shift.
