1. Confidential conversation and scope
We discuss objectives, pressure points, rooftops, departments, data access, onsite work, and timing. You receive a fixed-price proposal before work begins.
2. Assessment
Dealer IQ reviews the agreed data, people, process, vendors, inventory, and workflow—onsite, remotely, or through a defined combination.
3. Findings and priorities
Ownership receives the score, opportunity view, root causes, people needs, and a recommended sequence.
4. Choose the next move
Implement internally, use a focused Performance Sprint, add a specialized module, or enter an ongoing plan. There is no obligation to continue.
What dealers usually ask.
Do we have to continue after the diagnostic?
No. It is a complete stand-alone engagement. You can implement the plan internally or choose additional support.
Will managers be included?
Usually. The agreed scope identifies the leaders, reports, systems, and process observations needed for a responsible conclusion.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on scope and data readiness. The proposal defines a clear schedule before work begins.
Do you need access to every system?
No. We agree on the minimum useful access for the selected scope. The goal is enough evidence—not unnecessary access.
Are results guaranteed?
No. Dealer IQ identifies opportunity, builds recommendations, and supports execution within scope. Actual results depend on data, market conditions, leadership decisions, and team adoption.
