What separates thriving dealerships from failing ones? It's not the tools. It's not the leads. It's the culture, and most dealers are building theirs on a cracked foundation.

In this episode of Keep the Change, Bart sits down with Wendy Reeves, founder of BDC Angels and EiQ Performance Solutions, and one of the most connected and results-driven operators in automotive for a raw, unscripted conversation about what's really broken in dealerships today and exactly how to fix it.

Wendy has spent decades walking into struggling stores, diagnosing the real problems, and driving measurable change. 

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why a shiny new tool inside a broken process will always fail
• The dangerous gap between fixed ops and variable ops, and how to bridge it
• How to actually change employee behavior 
• Why your 70,000-name database is a goldmine you're completely ignoring
• The "trifecta" strategy for driving traffic without spending more money
• How the best leaders activate thinking instead of forcing compliance
• Why continuous learning and development is the most overlooked ROI in any dealership

Whether you're a dealer principal, GM, fixed ops director, or BDC manager, this episode will challenge how you lead, how you coach, and how you build a team that actually performs.
