Sonic Automotive is an auto retailer with more than 100 dealerships in 14 states, which provide everything from car sales and financing to collision repair and maintenance. The organization has traditionally focused on selling new cars.That effort began to change over the last decade, though. With more than 45 million used cars sold each year in the United States (compared with 10 to 14 million new cars), senior leadership recognized that billions of dollars were exchanging hands in the pre-owned business. Sonic Automotive’s researchers then identified more than 24 pain points in the used car buyer’s experience that they could improve. These pain points included several issues with the sales process, with customers often thinking that they had to deal with too many people or spend too much time buying a car.Based on this information, the organization decided to launch three pre-owned car dealerships in Colorado by November 2014. These dealerships would operate under a new business model, designed to incentivize employees to match customers with the best vehicle for their needs while making the customer experience more efficient and enjoyable.All 142 new employees required training on the business model, and each would need position-specific training. Responsibility for getting them up to speed fell to senior director of talent management, Marla Schutte, and the learning and development (L&D) team. Together, they developed a learning program to train these employees on the new brand and its business model, company culture, and role-specific job skills.
