NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:

Valentine's Day isn't just about flowers and chocolates — it's also about the relationships that keep us moving forward. Whether it's the bond between a driver and their favorite car, the trust between dealers and customers, or F&I managers' commitment to offering the best financing options, love plays a bigger role in automotive than you might think.

In this special edition, we celebrate our passion for dealer success by offering the strategies that turn dealerships into top producers and customer favorites. The stories we share here are some of the readers' favorites that educate dealers on strategies to boost their businesses during these turbulent times.

So, buckle up and get ready for a newsletter filled with stories, insights, and maybe even a little romance — auto style.

Happy Valentine's Day,

Nancy Dunham
