The College of Automotive Management (CAM) is proud to announce a new partnership with Dealer Assist LLC. Dealer Assist has selected CAM to provide automotive career training to their valued employees, agents and dealer clients. Dealer Assist is a leader in automotive finance products, income development strategies and staffing.
“We prefer promoting and recommending individuals trained by the College of Automotive Management to our dealer clients,” says Victoria Surgent, CEO at Dealer Assist. “That’s why we’ve partnered with the College to create an “East Coast” virtual academy. This will help us accomplish two things: First, it will help us recruit talent for the dealers we serve. Then, it will help us develop those individuals into highly skilled automotive professionals that can operate at the highest levels. We’ve added CAM’s career training programs to our product offerings for dealers via our online Dealer Assist Academy platform. This state-of-the-art platform is powered by SOARlmsi, another technology product innovation from the team at the College. With the unique training provided by CAM, Dealer Assist will increase our dealers’ results in sales, F&I, service and management. This online training will also allow us to bring top talent into the industry fully trained, hitting the ground running.”
A Win/Win Partnership
Dealer Assist has a long history of providing income development processes and strategies to auto dealers. CEO Victoria Surgent has worked for many brand name F&I providers in the past. She has also been a strategist for solving problems and increasing F&I product penetration across large networks of dealer clients. She now provides her own branded solutions and services to dealers nationwide, with an emphasis in the Northeast.
“Some of the biggest challenges dealers face is human capital recruitment followed by effective training and management. Everyone knows that excellent people produce excellent results, especially when trained, coached and supported with excellence. We believe we now have the greatest resources in the industry to help our dealers solve these problems. We can help them recruit top talent, develop those individuals daily through online training, and retain key employees longer. These fantastic training and coaching solutions we now provide due to our partnership with CAM sets our agency apart. We can really take our dealers to the next level in F&I product sales, vehicle sales, CSI, and service drive revenue,” says Victoria Surgent.
The new Dealer Assist Academy provides training online, 24/7, to anyone looking for a successful career in automotive finance, leasing, and/or lending. It can be found here, at Dealer Assist’s state-of-the-art learning academy: https://dealerassist.soarlms.com/
“I’m so impressed with Victoria and her ability to identify issues and solve complex problems,” says Eric Andersen, President of College of Automotive Management. “We’ve worked with numerous F&I companies and Victoria is hungry, humble and smart! She is a great addition to any dealership, leasing company, or automotive finance company. Victoria works hard for her clients and treats their business as though they are her own. She will continue to excel in the industry and be a very big success.”
