LAS VEGAS — Sales trainer, industry forecaster and dealer advocate Jim Ziegler will kick off F&I and Showroom’s Industry Summit on Monday, Sept. 8, with an all-day seminar called Profit Masters. The preconference event, which normally costs $1,500 but is being offered as an add-on special for Industry Summit registrants, starts at 9:30 a.m. inside the Paris Las Vegas’ Concorde B.

Ziegler, whose Ziegler SuperSystems firm was voted the top sales training outfit by readers of Auto Dealer Monthly in the publication’s recent Dealers’ Choice Awards, will lay out a plan for increasing sales volume and customer satisfaction without sacrificing growth.
