How much is your time worth per hour? If you’re spending your day swamped with low-value admin tasks, you’re losing far more than time. You’re losing sales and the capacity to lead your dealership strategically.
Every dealer principal knows the feeling of juggling endless admin: managing bookings, responding to emails, chasing down sales paperwork, and updating the dealership management system (DMS). Meantime, big-ticket sales opportunities are left unattended. This is the dilemma of being stuck in “£10 tasks” mode, which will quietly kill off profitability.
The true cost of low-value tasks
On paper, a few minutes here and there replying to emails or updating vehicle listings doesn’t seem like much. But add it up: 90 minutes a day spent on admin equals 7.5 hours a week, nearly a full working day. Over a year, that’s over 390 hours, or more than 9 weeks lost to tasks that someone else could do faster, better, and more cost-effectively than you.
Imagine what just half of that time could mean if you spent it closing deals, mentoring your top performers, or nurturing a key client. This is where ‘real’ money and impact lie.
What are £10k wins?
£10K wins are the high-leverage activities that move the needle. They’re where you, as a dealership owner or sales manager, make your mark and beat your targets. These include:
- Negotiating complex deals with high-margin potential.
- Coaching and motivating top performers to hit ambitious targets.
- Converting hot inbound leads before the competition does.
- Strategic growth planning, including securing new stock and new revenue streams.
- Building long-term relationships with key clients and suppliers.
These are the tasks only you can do. But they require time and focus, both of which get put on the back burner when admin bogs you down.
