Welcome to episode 600 of the Automotive Troublemaker. Today we dive into how GM seems to be fine after the UAW strike, how dealership values are staying strong, and how Wegmans is trying to change the way we shop for groceries.General Motors emerges from a costly six-week UAW strike, projecting strong profits for 2023. Despite increased labor costs, GM's strategic planning and stock buyback indicate a robust financial future.GM suffered a $1.1 billion hit due to the UAW strike but forecasts a $9.1B-$9.7B net income for 2023.The company plans a $10 billion share buyback and a 33% dividend increase, reflecting confidence in its financial health.The new contracts with UAW and Unifor are expected to raise GM's North American labor costs by $1.5 billion in 2024.GM's stock rose 8.9% in premarket trading, signaling investor optimism.“I am confident in our ability to continue generating significant free cash flow as we make the EV transition” stated CEO Mary Barra.Despite a dip in dealership values in 2023, the market remains robust, with dealership buy-sell activity and profits significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, as reported by Haig Partners.Blue sky values have decreased by 12% since 2022 but are still over double pre-pandemic levels and 2023 is on track to be the third most active year for dealership transactions, fueled by 385 transactions through the end of Q3.High demand persists for dealerships in fast growing regions with “pro-business climates”, with the report citing recent record sales in South Florida and pending sales that will set record-high values for their brands.Publicly traded dealer groups saw a 92% drop in domestic dealership acquisition spending in Q3, but overall spending remains high.Fixed operations continue to drive profits, with a 9% year-over-year increase in gross profit.The brand with the most interested buyers is Toyota.Wegmans has opened a novel hybrid supermarket/food hall in Manhattan, signifying a shift in the grocery industry towards multi-functional, community-oriented spaces.The new Astor Place store in NYC features a unique blend of grocery and food hall concepts, offering diverse food options, such as a sushi bar, bakery, fish market sourcing selections directly from Japan, and a pre-made salad area.This shift caters to consumer preferences for convenience, with supermarkets offering restaurant meals, meal kits, and ready-to-eat options.Consumers often prefer to eat out rather than cook on their shopping days, which has prompted a rise in demand for hot food options in supermarkets, according to Atul Sood, chief business officer at Kitchen United.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email ASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

This episode we welcome Michael Affronti, the SVP & General Manager of the Commerce Cloud business at Salesforce for a fascinating look at the rapidly evolving world of generative AI. In an expansive, yet highly practical, discussion Michael helps us separate the hope from the hype and "chalks the field" on the most important applications to automate mundane tasks or enhance the customer experience. We also go deep on where retailers are already gaining traction and where they need to begin to test and learn.But first we open up with our take on the most interesting recent retail news, including a new retail monitor just launched by CNBC and the NRF and a quick look at what it tells us. Then we unpack lots of retail earnings, which were mostly disappointing--and in a few cases downright scary (Kohl's, Macy's, Allbirds, and most of luxury). Yet Walmart, Abercrombie & Fitch, the off-price apparel players, and, most notably On Running, managed to rise above the rest. We close with our view that BFCM may ultimately be much ado about nothing much.About MichaelMichael is the SVP & General Manager of Commerce Cloud at Salesforce, overseeing the various Commerce Cloud products and services that enable customers to build commerce experiences and grow revenue their way.

If you need actionable information about renewable projects or technologies, check out IntelStor at intelstor.com. Siemens Energy reported a net loss of 4. 6 billion euros for the full year 2023. This was due to steep losses in its wind turbine business, Siemens Gamesa. The company is restructuring the wind turbine business after it faced unexpected technical problems and inflation eroded margins. Now, Phil, the investor call and the press junket that Siemens Energy held this week was really interesting about what the approach is. And they didn't let out a lot about the future of Siemens Gamesa, just saying that they were going to lose a significant amount of money this year. Philip Totaro: So right now they're going to end up having to rely on revenue from the offshore wind turbine sales and both the onshore and offshore services business to make up for the lost revenue or lack thereof in terms of onshore sales because they've paused sales of the, the 5. x platform. Siemens Energy has already come out and said that they've got enough to be able to survive as Siemens Energy, because their other non wind businesses under the Siemens Energy umbrella are profitable. But the question is, how long are they going to let Siemens Gamesa run itself into the ground without substantial top line revenue and profitability? They're talking about break even in 2026, but they have not yet really presented a roadmap for how to get there. The other question to address is, okay, if they start... stripping assets, which I don't necessarily expect they're going to do. But if they decide to do that, what does that look like then? Obviously Siemens Energy survives with a kind of Danish German Siemens wind business kind of reconstituted. What happens to Gamesa? And how does that necessarily play out? The Spanish government wants to be able to protect one of its institutions. and there again have been suggestions that they're separately trying to get some money together, to bolster the company if it is, ends up being spun off. There's a lot of uncertainty and we're anxiously awaiting their capital markets day presentation, next week. Joel Saxum: While Siemens Energy right now is that it's a burning fire. Everybody's watching it and you're staring at this problem, trying to figure out what's happening. They're saying their outlook looks to break even by 2026, three years down the line. And three years down the line, there could be some massive shifts in the wind industry, right? And one of the things that I, that's not, was not talked about in any of these reports, is the pressure from the Chinese OEMs. And there's an active interest going on right here from the European, basically, Parliament. To possibly want to look into competition and whatno...

Serial Entrepreneur-Chasing the Hard ProblemsWe had the pleasure of interviewing Gordy Meyer, CEO of Dayta in this episode. Gordy had a very interesting entrepreneurial journey that he shared a summary of, with an unbelievable story about his company and the New York Times at the very end; you'll have to listen to the episode to get it!Gordy said he was entrepreneurial even as a child, with his own paper route and lawn mowing business. He knew he'd be the founder of his own organization someday, but he cut his teeth first at Fingerhut. His analytical skills came in handy for their business model and he learned how to strategically use data to scale a business in the right directions. His first company specialized in risk management through data gathering and analysis as a B2B service provider, which he sold in 2000 to LexisNexus! LexisNexis has since grown the risk management division to $1B in sales. He then went on to start, grow and sell two more companies. He moved into a Board member role at Dayta Marketing in St Cloud and served for 8 years, then made an offer to buy and scale the business. They've since created their own proprietary client project management program called "Daylight", which could be compared to a project dashboard for clients and team members to access and update in real time. Gordy says his goal for Dayta is to improve their operating model through the use of these kinds of efficiencies. They'll be a company to watch for sure!

Chris has 14 years of sales experience in B2B SaaS, starting as an individual contributor and methodically climbing the ranks from front-line manager to senior leadership. He has been part of the $2M to $10M ARR journey with a startup that was acquired for $100M. He has led sales teams for Series C and Series D companies that grew revenues from $20M to $40M ARR (in 2 years) and $17M to $23M ARR (in 6 months) respectively, and are currently valued at $1B and $1.5B. Most recently, as the CRO of a bootstrapped company, Chris grew topline revenue 78% by selling to Fortune 1000 companies. He is currently supporting early-stage companies as a Fractional VP of Sales, and he serves as an expert advisor for Primary Venture Partners' portfolio companies. Chris has a compelling track record of success building and leading high-performing revenue teams can be attributed to my disciplined approach to coaching and developing sales professionals, fostering team selling dynamics, and my knack for designing and implementing customer-centric sales processes reinforced by world-class sales methodologies.   Quotes:  "I think you were alluding to perspective, right? And my background is really in B2B SaaS. So I've spent the better part of 14 years with growing Stage B, two B software companies, and I've been part of several different journeys."    "And you don't necessarily need to operate in the B two B SaaS space to still build kind of like a healthy, sustainable business and to learn from other operators who have done it outside of your industry sector. So it's been really rewarding, taking some of the best practices in terms of how to build and scale A team with a software company, refine it a little bit so it reflects the nuance of either like a services based company or maybe a marketplace type environment, and then implement that there because they're all suffering from very similar self inflicted wounds, so to speak."    "Discipline will always trump motivation. I think motivation is a feeling, and feelings come and go. One day you could be motivated, and the next day you might not be, but discipline is like a way of operating."    "Leaders don't always have to make the best decision. They just need to make sure the best decision is made."  Links: Christopher.Amrod@gmailcom LinkedIn: Christopher Amrod Get this episode and all other episodes of Sales Lead Dog at https://www.empellorcrm.com/salesleaddog
