A salesperson takes a used unit in on trade. Now what? If you don’t have a plan for what happens next — starting that same day —
you’re already losing. Experts say having a detailed plan — with accountability — on how quickly the unit is cleaned up and serviced,
photographed, listed, etc., will do wonders for inventory turns. During this dealer-to-dealer panel, 4 seasoned dealers will share their internal
systems to keep attention on traded equipment and get it back out into the market ASAP.
Customer transparency and equipment showcasing is key, but according to trade-in experts, most sales are won or lost before customers step into the dealership.
Equipment might get old, but smooth trade-ins at maximum margins never go out of style. With little question about the pitfalls of leaving used machines on the lot too long, dealers tuned in to learn the good, the bad and the ugly of equipment turnover strategies.
Managing used equipment inventories and remarketing equipment is a big — if not the biggest — challenge for farm equipment dealers today. And while the used equipment problem is improving, dealers still have a lot of cash tied up in the used equipment inventory sitting on their lots.
