According to the annual NADA Dealership Workforce Study, every 10-percent increase in turnover rate will cost the average dealership $7,500 in gross profit per employee per year. With an average of 70 employees at a dealership, that adds up to more than $500,000 in gross profit yearly."} /-->
<!-- wp:reyrey-js/paragraph {"content":"Turnover also leaves you with inexperienced employees who lack the knowledge needed to perform well. This can hurt your reputation and damage your customer experience. The average person can only forgive so many mistakes before they get frustrated, and some won’t tolerate any. After one negative experience, 51% of customers will never do business with that company again according to the American Express Customer Service Barometer."} /-->
