We've all heard the news about Coronavirus. It's everywhere. Shutting a country - canceling events, stopping professional sporting games, etc. People rushing to buy sanitizer and toilet paper getting sold out.
To be clear - I am not a doctor...nor a disease expert. Nor do I want to put fear out there.
Though we do not know where this is going to go, what's going to happen or how is going to impact us over the coming months. Are you preparing your dealership in case this will affect your business? Is better to be over-prepared and not need to be than have to re-act in a desperate mode down the road.
Are you deploying other ways in selling and servicing vehicles? Few suggestions.
