## Resource

Today, Sam D'Arc is joined by Sam Hatch, General Manager at JRR Motor Sales, to discuss how he moved his top salesperson into a dedicated buying center to source 70+ units off the street in a single month. We discuss the "Matrix" view of inventory data, the spicy reality of off-site super sales, and why transparency is a dealer's greatest competitive edge. Sam also reveals the specific AI tools he uses to automate the hunt for used cars. This episode is brought to you by: 1. Podium - The AI platform trusted by one in three dealerships.
