The Mindset of Top Performers: Embracing Compliance

The same principle applies to dealerships facing the new FTC regulations.
The Evolution of Transparency: How Compliance Relates to Customer Experience
David emphasizes that many dealerships have already been unknowingly preparing for compliance by focusing on delivering transparent customer experiences. By ensuring that customers are fully aware of their purchasing journey, including pricing, fees, and accessories, these dealerships have laid a strong foundation for compliance. However, even for those already meeting certain requirements, there are additional steps to take.
Taking Action: Internal or External Resources?
David explores two options for dealerships to achieve compliance: using internal resources or seeking external help. While some dealerships may have the expertise and capacity to handle compliance internally, most will benefit from partnering with professionals who specialize in this field. He encourages dealerships to act swiftly, as demand for compliance experts may rise closer to the deadline.
The Stakes Are High: Consequences of Non-Compliance
David highlights the potential consequences of failing to meet the compliance deadline.
