Brian Kramer is the General Manager of Germain Toyota of Naples. He has over 26 years of experience in retail automotive dealerships and made the list as one of the Top 40 Under 40 by Automotive News.
Brian is on a mission to digitally transform the automotive retail world by championing 100% paperless transactions in dealerships and sharing his best practices for selling ethically and profitably. Before joining the Germain Toyota team, he was the General Manager of AutoNation and a General Manager at the Germain Motor Company.
In this episode… Digital advancements and the coronavirus pandemic have changed a lot, so many dealerships have had no option but to change, too. Although every dealership is unique and there is no cookie-cutter way of running a dealership, it’s critical that management adopts the right vision and effectively translates it into reality.
To successfully implement any transformations in a dealership, management has to have clarity on what they want to achieve and how they plan to get there. Part of this means recruiting the right people to apply all the changes they want. It’s also important to seek advice from peers and experts in the field. At least, according to 26-year virtual retailing trailblazer, Brian Kramer. 
In this week's episode of the Inside Auto Podcast, Ilana Shabtay is joined by Brian Kramer, the General Manager of Germain Toyota of Naples, to talk about executing digital transformations in dealerships. They also discuss the benefits of using the Clubhouse app and the benefits of conducting paperless transactions.
