“The Best Training Day Ever is a great resource for the automotive industry and provides a great venue to hear and learn about new trends and profit-driving opportunities from leading industry experts,” Paul A. Faletti Jr., president and CEO of NCM Associates, said. “That’s why we’re pleased to sponsor the event again in 2015.”
Each year, dealer principals, general managers, sales managers, service managers and fixed operations managers are invited to this one-day event to learn from some of the best trainers in the automotive business, with each delivering the most recent training on a different area, officials said.
