How valuable can a tire dealer association be to your dealership? If the Mid-America Tire Dealers Association (MATDA) is any indication, plenty.
The program at the 19th annual MATDA Convention and Trade Show in Catoosa, Okla., covered a wide range of topics designed to help tire dealers run their businesses more profitably. There were seminars on OSHA regulations, sales techniques and cash flow analysis, to name a few.
You want training? The Tire Industry Association's ATS training certification -- both written and hands-on -- was sponsored by Becker Tire & Treading Inc.
The MATDA is one example of what state, regional and national dealer associations can provide to its members.
