Welcome to The Dealer Download, powered by RS&I.
If the proposed $2,000 tariff-funded stimulus checks become a reality, dealers will face one of the fastest impulse-buy windows we’ve seen in years. The businesses that prepare before the checks land will be the ones who win the surge, avoid lost sales, and turn a short-term spike into long-term customers.
In this episode, host Michael Shiverdecker breaks down what dealers need to know and how to move quickly, strategically, and profitably.
