FINALLY, TRAINING AND INDUSTRY INFORMATION COMES TO YOU—
WELCOME TO NIADA.TV!

It was one of the most talked about topics at the NIADA Convention and
now it’s officially here…NIADA.TV! As I have traveled across the Country
speaking at Conventions, NIADA Dealer Development Seminars and various
speaking engagements, I am continuously asked when audio and/or video
tapes will be available. Many dealers have also inquired about having
materials they can take back to their dealership to conduct training
sessions. Now it’s all available! NIADA.TV is an innovative online television
network that goes beyond any of the educational tools you’ve seen to
date. Not only does NIADA.TV make audio and video presentations available
to more dealers, but in a more timely fashion, more often and when it
is convenient for you!
I personally have participated in over 50 hours
of programming that has been filmed for network subscribers and am
continuing to develop new
content on a daily basis. Soon dealers across the Country will have
access to the entire NIADA Dealer Development Seminar titled “How to
Sell a
Car and Keep it Sold!” Subscribers will also have the opportunity to
obtain information on topics that traditionally have not warranted
a stand alone seminar, but have generated a large amount of interest
or
inquires, such as starter interrupt devices, how to evaluate a service
contract program, how to establish and operate a related finance company,
and complying with the FTC Used Car Rule.
In addition, you can expect
to see other NIADA Dealer Development Seminars, NIADA Convention presentations,
and various other industry events.
NIADA.TV will also be an efficient and cost effective way for the
Association to disseminate legal, legislative and regulatory information.
While
we
will continue to provide the written Legal, Legislative and Regulatory
Summary, this new venue will allow us to distribute information about
what is occurring in Washington, D.C. and across the Country as it
develops and in greater detail. Motor vehicle dealers are well aware
that the
motor vehicle industry is one of the most heavily regulated and the
laws that impact our industry are continuously changing. Now you
will have
the ability to learn about these changes as they are happening!
Just
as important as keeping dealers informed and up-to-date about developments
in our industry is improving our image with consumers,
regulators and
the public at large. For example, educating consumers, about the
fundamentals of a motor vehicle transaction and benefits of dealing
with NIADA Members
should not only help eliminate consumer problems, but produce additional
satisfied customers. The NIADA.TV channel available for free to
the public should prove to be an effective means for accomplishing these
goals.
That’s just what’s on the drawing board so far! As each day passes,
we are presented with new opportunities for NIADA.TV. The best
part’s if
there is a subject you would like to see covered, let the Association
know and, who knows, you might just see it someday on NIADA.TV.
Stay tuned!
