So You Wanna Be a Car Dealer?
WHAT IS Pre-Licensing…And What’s the Process for Becoming an Independent Auto Dealer in NC and SC
“I THINK I WANNA BE A CAR DEALER!”
When it comes to becoming a CAPTAIN OF ENTERPRISE in the used car world, the process can be a bit tricky.
That’s why you need more than just a CLASS (yep, it’s required) to help you get there.
Consider this…Before opening an independent car dealership, both North Carolina and South Carolina require prospective dealers to complete a pre-licensing education course as part of the licensing process.
North Carolina mandates a 12-hour pre-licensing class for aspiring used motor vehicle dealers, which must be completed within the 12 months prior to applying for a dealer license www.BetterDealerTraining.com South Carolina requires a shorter, one-day 8-hour pre-licensing course for new non-franchise (independent) dealer applicants www.BetterDealerTraining.com
These courses cover essential topics—dealer laws, regulatory compliance, business setup, marketing, day-to-day operations and what’s working in the Marketplace NOW—to prepare entrepreneurs for running a dealership.
While there are several options in the Carolinas for “PRE-LICENSING CLASSES” there is ONLY ONE INSTRUCTOR of these classes who has BEEN AN ACTUAL DEALER!
What does that count for? Well when you combine the fact that this individual was a successful Dealer and later on became a MASTER INSTRUCTOR for one of the largest providers of Dealer Education in the Carolinas, it COUNTS FOR A LOT!
Squeekie Henry has trained thousands of dealers in the Carolinas over the past few years, both continuing education and PRE-LICENSING—in essence, HOW TO BECOME A SUCCESSFUL DEALER!
Now as the lead instructor/co-founder of www.BetterDealerTraining.com she is committed to helping individuals who wish to become a licensed dealer in the Carolinas, not just getting the necessary classroom certification—but providing additional access and follow up over the coming year to help ensure that brand new dealers get the best chance to succeed.
