Joe Duffy Group boss Gavin Hydes on grit, culture and keeping customers happy. Over the past six months, our listenership has grown so much. Many of you missed this 2020 chat with Gavin Hydes, and regulars keep telling me it's the episode they still quote back at their teams. So we're giving it another spin. It was recorded mid-lockdown over Zoom, Gavin's in a glass-and-tile Porsche showroom, so the sound's a bit “bathroom-y”. Stick with it, the ideas are gold. Who's Gavin? Chief Executive of the Joe Duffy Group, Ireland's largest privately-owned dealer network. Took the business from one BMW site in 2005 to 23 dealerships and 22 franchises today, representing BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volvo, VW, Mazda and more.  Now oversees 1,600+ staff, the fixed-price used-car brand ZuCar and a huge stake in UK giant Vertu Motors. What we cover:   {0:02} – Leaving the family hotel trade for a Y-reg Toyota sales job {5:30} – Why “no” is just step one. {11:40} – From Bolton BMW to Dublin: how love (and ambition) moved him to Ireland {14:15} – Surviving the Celtic Tiger crash. {19:00} – The balanced-scorecard no-commission pay plan {27:00} – “Teams that play together stay together” {33:10} – Launching ZooCar: fixed prices, “zoo-guides” (no salespeople) and customers who appraise their own part-ex online. {40:45} – Post-COVID car buying: fewer walk-ins, more serious buyers—and why the 15-minute reply window now matters.  {46:00} – Career advice Enjoy the rerun, and thanks for being part of the next wave of listeners. About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Amr Hallaba immigrated from Egypt in 1998 when he was just 16 years old joining his mother and sister who arrived before him. He stepped into his life in Georgia leaving behind all of his friends, his father, stepmother and stepsister. A new chapter was about to launch… with his high school diploma earned in Egypt it was now time to begin working while attending community college in the evening. His first job taught him hard work and resilience along with challenging, but impactful, techniques to manage conflict in the workplace. Moving into a new position in retail sales, he speaks fondly of his first mentor who worked closely with him in training and development, and how he worked his way to the #1 sales spot in the southern region. But, as a highly motivated and goal oriented professional, he wasn't totally satisfied with how long it was taking him to reach his goals so he decided to change his pathway into the car business. This pivotal career move would influence the trajectory of his professional path where he would meet an impactful auto dealer owner/operator who would mentor him and invest in his future changing his life on numerous levels. At just 29 years old Amr became a General Manager and attended the NADA Dealer Academy. Today he is the COO of a large dealer group expanding across the Northeast and the South, and still loves speaking to customers when he walks through the showroom. Whether it's navigating a customer issue or just a quick hello, he knows that a positive company culture is critical to success. With deep gratitude for his ample opportunities, he expresses an authentic statement to all immigrants…do not get discouraged, focus on your goal, and remember you can learn a lot from failures.

What inspires a veteran of Virginia's auto industry and a lifelong community advocate to run for the House of Delegates? On this edition of VADA Live, Jeff Kelley sits down with Virgil Thornton Sr., candidate for the 86th District and a familiar face from decades in Virginia dealerships. They discuss his unique journey from nuclear testing and automotive leadership to his current campaign, the core philosophies like "Kaizen" and "Omotenashi" that guide him, and his vision for his district and the Commonwealth. From his deep experience as a foster parent and NADA Academy graduate to his key priorities of education, healthcare access, and economic development, this conversation offers an insightful look at a pro-business, pro-dealer candidate rooted in service.

When comparing "Big Box" auto retailers (like stores that sell a wide range of items) to auto dealerships and independent repair shops, the key differences lie in pricing, customer service, and expertise. Dealerships often offer brand-specific expertise and convenient service, but may have higher prices. Independent shops typically provide more competitive pricing and a wider range of vehicle expertise, but may not always have the same access to OEM parts as dealerships.

In this follow-up chat, Simon sits down again with Malcolm Beatty of MB Motors in Northern Ireland. They talk through the practical things that keep a small, independent site busy: Building the right website – why Malcolm walked away from a free template, paid for a fully custom design and ended up with an award-winning website. Indoor photo booth – one set of lights, one background, and every car looks the same online, whatever the weather. Getting reviews the easy way – a printed QR code on the desk means most buyers leave a Google review before they drive off. They've passed 1,500 reviews at 4.8/5. Looking after staff – a small on-site gym, go-kart nights and “Employee of the Month” bonuses help keep a 15-person team pulling in the same direction. Hiring by video – every applicant records a short clip; it weeds out time-wasters and shows who's comfortable on camera for walk-around videos. Warranty and goodwill – how the team deals with the odd used-car problem and why a polite customer usually gets extra help. Stock decisions – why they've parked most Land Rovers for now, and what would have to change before they start buying EVs in volume. If you run (or want to run) a small dealership, this is a straightforward look at the day-to-day choices that turn browsers into buyers - and keep them coming back.
