There’s one common problem all dealers face: staying educated in an industry that’s constantly changing policies. Being uninformed means risking hefty fines or even more serious liability issues. Thankfully there’s FIADA (which stands for Florida Independent Auto Dealers Association) and they have been the single most useful resource for Florida auto dealers. We sat down with the President of FIADA, Brad Joel, to understand how dealers should be using the association to grow their business.
“We are a Strength-in-Numbers game. The more members we have, the stronger we become, the louder our voice becomes, and the more we can do for our members and industry.”
In a rush? Here are some key points from the video:
Continuous Education
FIADA provides continuous education for dealers through quarterly meetings, news updates, and educational material.
They’re Fighting For Us
Some government policies are downright hindering to dealers. FIADA works with lobbyists to fight backward legislature that would otherwise hurt dealers. ie.) The Hope Scholarship policy
It’s Networking At Its Best
The association is the best place to meet and learn from those who have been in the industry. It’s a culture of help not of competition.
Access to Hand-Vetted Vendors
Members of FIADA get discounts and connections to the best vendors in the business.
Like all successful business owners, dealers need to continue seeking the resources and education that will help them succeed. If there’s one thing that causes downfall, it’s complacency.
