The Automotive Business School of Canada (ABSC) is releasing a daily video series called Canadian Dealer Academy: Faculty Insights, where members of its faculty provide tips and advice on how dealers should cope with the pandemic.
“We have an amazing faculty, with decades of directly relevant industry experience,” said Jason Dale, Executive Director of the ABSC. “We wanted to tap into that knowledge and have them share ideas to help dealers navigate their operations in this pandemic.”
The videos will be published every day at 9:00 a.m. ET, with the first one from faculty member Chuck Seguin, President, Seguin Advisory Services, (who teaches the Capstone course) published on Thursday, May 14. The videos will be available on the ABSC website here, and will be shared via social media and LinkedIn to reach a broad audience in the industry.
“The insights shared by our faculty in this video series are truly remarkable. They offer tips on everything from day-to-day logistics dealing with customers and staff, OEMs and suppliers, to practical advice on managing your finances and fixed operations,” said Dale. “Watching these video interviews is the next best thing to attending a classroom session with these great teachers.”
