Throwback: Why Dealers Need Strong State Associations (& What Happens Without Them) with James Myers

Strong dealerships don’t operate in isolation and when dealers lack a unified voice, they often feel the consequences later. In this Dealership Fix-It throwback episode, we sit down with James Myers of Valley Cycle Center in Winchester, Virginia to talk about: Why state dealer associations matter more than most dealers realize How weak dealer representation can hurt territory protection The real-world impact of manufacturer decisions on local dealers Lessons learned from multi-generation family dealership ownership Why people management is the hardest part of running a dealership How DISC profiles and self-awareness help leaders build better teams James shares firsthand experience from a 51+ year family-owned dealership, offering honest insight into: Growing up in the business Transitioning from second-generation leadership The pressure of succession The importance of peer groups, accountants, and trusted GMs This episode is about long-term survival, not short-term wins — and why dealers who pay attention early avoid painful surprises later.
