Advantages

Virtual Groups beat other 20 groups for many reasons:

• The cost to participate is about half that of an "in-person" group
• No mandatory travel costs
• There is no obligatory 5 day orientation
• Participants don’t need to leave their dealerships for days at a time
• Managers can attend meetings focused on their departments at no extra charge
• Composite data is more recent, so the data and decisions are better.
• We meet every month not just 2 or 3 times a year. That means quick answers to everyday issues

And the similarities make virtual groups very desirable:

• Benchmarks are shared and financial data is analyzed
• Participants take part in frank discussions about business trends and individual progress
• Dealership visits are still possible.
• Because we’ve already covered the numbers each month, the on-site meeting is more focused on the host store’s critique.

RV-VDG facilitates several types of Virtual Dealer Groups, including:

• Dealer
• Parts and Service
• Rental
