Sales Power Boost:
A one-day workshop that bridges the gap between customer expectations and dealership experiences
Today’s internet-savvy customers are creating new challenges for dealerships and sales teams. They have higher expectations of service, pricing and the amount of time spent in your dealership. And it’s becoming a delicate balance between ensuring the customer experience, while maximizing sales and profitability.
How do you educate your customers when they seem to know as much as you do? And how do you meet their higher expectations — without sacrificing profitability?
Join us Wednesday, May 16 OR Thursday, May 17 to get answers to these and so many more questions at the one-day Sales Power Boost workshop, where you and your team will learn fresh techniques for working with today’s customer.
Presented by The Academy, this one-day workshop focuses on the science of the sale and the psychology behind customer decisions. After The Academy’s two-day sales training workshop, dealerships have seen an increase in front-end gross ranging from 64 to 146 percent, reduced turnover in sales teams and 18 – 30 percent increases in volume. What’s more, you’d typically have to travel to Atlanta for this workshop. However, through a special arrangement with CADA, The Academy is coming to Colorado for these two, one-day training workshops.
The Sales Power Boost is designed for dealerships (and their entire sales teams) that want new ideas and direction for big sales weekends — like Memorial Day — and strong closeouts.

Register for DRIVES third-party access
On Friday, May 4, you may have received an e-mail from the Motor Vehicle Portal Access Unit (within the Colorado Department of Revenue) inviting you to register for third-party access to the new Colorado Driver License, Record, Identification and Vehicle Enterprise Solutions (DRIVES) system. CADA highly recommends you to complete this registration process.
Today, Departments of Motor Vehicle statewide uses a DOS-based system known as the Colorado State Titling and Registration System, or CSTARS. This legacy program has long been the standard in Colorado, however, the state is moving forward this year.
On August 6, 2018, all 64 counties will migrate to the web-based DRIVES system. This will streamline the registration process, reduce wait times at each Division of Motor Vehicles location and reduce the headaches for consumers, dealers and counties.
To access this system, register by May 30. If you don’t register, you will no longer have access to data after August 6. To register, submit the End User License Agreement. This designates your dealership’s primary administrator, who will be able to grant access to all others.
Additionally, there is a registration form on the DMV website. The passcode is MVPrecords. To register, provide your dealer license number.
After you have registered, the Department will contact you by e-mail about training for the DRIVES system. Training classes are expected to be available beginning in July.
If you have any questions, please contact Matthew Groves or the Motor Vehicle Portal Access Unit.
