Anderson Automotive Group

ANDERSON AUTOMOTIVE GROUP keeping it a family business.We have regular family meetings and we have a family strategy for running the business. Most family business- es fail, not because of business-related issues, but because of family-related issues and family dynamics.We focus a lot on keeping members of the family educated and involved and managing those relationships so that the family dynamics don’t impact the business in a negative way. And we treat our people like we would want any of our family members treated.” Of course, those important relationships also extend to the Group’s many important business partners, including Comerica Bank; the JM&A Group, which offers vehicle insurance, car protec- tion plans, and auto finance services; the Moran Group, a Louisiana-based advertising company; and Alan Ram’s Proactive Training Solutions, the industry leader in automotive telephone training, dealership management training, automotive Internet sales training, automotive BDC training, and car sales training. While concentrating on providing friendly, family-oriented service, Anderson says that the company must also continue to make prudent business decisions, as well. “We’ve continued to invest a lot in our facilities and particularly in the service departments,” he asserts. “In all of our locations we struggle – in a good way–with capacity and throughput, trying to capture all the business and provide the same level of service we’ve always wanted to provide. And with some of the margin pressures on the new car side, it’s probably more important than ever.We do have Customizable, long-term, automotive sales training services for dealerships or dealer groups. Alan Ram’s Proactive Training Solutions wants to thank Fred Anderson for their longstanding commitment to training and excellence. We are proud to be a part of their past, current and future success.
