Start Strong: The Dealership Playbook for 2026

Kick off 2026 with a dealership playbook built for the realities you are managing right now: shifting inventory, tightening margins, and nonstop change in the marketing and technology landscape. In this replay, Stream Companies leaders Drew Diehl, Steve Sexton, and Matt Hommer break down how dealers can start strong by focusing on the fundamentals that actually move performance.

You will hear how to think about inventory fluctuations and profitability, why chasing “more leads” is not always the answer, and how small improvements in process can create outsized gains. The conversation also covers Fixed Ops and service absorption, including how to keep bays full and how to turn service activity and equity opportunities into sales momentum.

Finally, the team shares a grounded perspective on AI: how to embrace the change, avoid stacking tools without a way to keep score, and use AI to make better decisions faster.
