While the market may be “tariff-ied” in terms of new unit sales, the pre-owned space is where all the action is. To give dealers a better idea of how to not only survive, but actually thrive in these turbulent times, National Powersport Auctions is presenting two exclusive, one-hour sessions at the National Powersports Dealer Association DealerConnect networking event, set for September 21–23, in Columbus, Ohio.
“NPDA’s reason for being is to help dealers become well prepared, sustainably profitable and exceed the expectations of a growing powersports customer base,” states Board Chair Bob Kee. “NPA knows how to ‘connect’ with dealers to help drive profitability. CEO Jim Woodruff has been a trusted advisor to the association since the beginning, but we felt it was time to share his wealth of knowledge beyond NPDA board level.”
NPA’s VP of Sales Mike Murray relationship-focused, educational approach to sales, has earned him a solid reputation as a trusted voice in the industry. It also netted him an encore appearance at DealerConnect by popular demand having been one of the highest rated presentations at NPDA’s first event.
Both Woodruff and Murray encourage dealers to stop by the NPA booth. “Connect with our team and learn more about powering your business,” says Woodruff. “We really are better when we are all together.”
However dealers need to act fast. “We have already sold out of exhibit space, and pre-registrations have already exceeded last year’s total attendance more than a month out,” cautions Kee. “If you have registered for DealerConnect, but have not booked your rooms at the Hilton, now is the time: NPDA’s Room Block expires August 29.”
