| October has a way of reminding us that change is inevitable. The leaves turn, the seasons shift, and the landscape takes on an entirely different look. It’s also a good time to consider changing our perspective—especially when it comes to the way we look at the businesses we’ve built. In this edition of Building Prosperity, we explore that idea from a couple of different angles.
One article takes us into an apple orchard and considers how a prospective buyer might approach picking the best fruit when looking for an acquisition target. It’s a simple analogy with an important lesson: what looks like a successful business from the inside may look very different to someone evaluating it from the outside.
We also take a fresh look at branding and why dealerships should be thinking beyond simply following the marketing lead of the manufacturers they represent. Your products may come from the same manufacturers as your competitors. Your brand, your story and the value you bring to customers are what can make your business stand apart. So as the season changes, perhaps it’s time to change the way you see your business, too. Scroll on to read the issue or download a PDF. |
