Creating real change inside the dealership starts with clear expectations, consistent follow-through, and most importantly, strong communication. That’s the power behind the Dealer Timeline.
This isn’t just a calendar. It’s a strategic roadmap that connects every part of our partnership from onsite training and Adaptive Training to Coaches Corner and product knowledge. Everything we do runs through one central channel of communication so nothing falls through the cracks.
At Elite FI, we don’t believe in one size fits all training. We believe in conversation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Onsite Training: The Foundation
It all begins with an in-store experience. Our onsite training sets the tone, real-world, face-to-face, and highly interactive. These sessions are designed to do more than educate. They open the door for two-way communication from day one.
We encourage questions
We spark real conversations between teammates
We introduce your team to ours, building connection and trust from the start
Adaptive Training: Growth That Evolves With You
The work doesn’t stop when we leave the dealership. Our Adaptive Training picks up where onsite left off, adjusting to your team’s needs, challenges, and pace.
We check in regularly
We adjust course based on feedback and performance
We tailor the training journey for each individual so it’s always relevant and effective
We provide access to our Adaptive Training Library, giving team members the ability to learn at their own pace and focus on the areas that matter most to them
Coaches Corner: Real Time Support from Experts
Coaches Corner is your team’s direct line to experience and insight. Whether it’s a quick question or a deep dive into strategy, our team is here.
One on one video calls and screen shares
Group AMA sessions with real time Q&A
Proactive outreach so you don’t have to go looking for answers
Product Knowledge & Process: Easy Access, Always Updated
From new products to updated processes, we make sure the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
Everything is housed in a searchable online hub
We deliver updates through alerts, video breakdowns, and live sessions
Our workshops turn info into action with real time learning and interaction
Role Playing & Recordings: Practice That Makes You Better
We believe in practicing like you play. That’s why we prioritize role playing sessions and recorded presentations.
Every role play is coach guided with live feedback
Recordings allow for self review and performance tracking
We even share top performing examples across the network to inspire and elevate
It All Connects: A True Communication Ecosystem
The Dealer Timeline isn’t a checklist. It’s a living, breathing system of support. We’ve built a full circle communication loop that includes:
Dedicated account managers
Regular updates and newsletters
Access to online forums and peer communities
Performance dashboards with built in context and insights
When dealers know exactly what to expect and have a clear channel to ask questions, share wins, and keep learning, everyone performs at a higher level.
That’s the mission behind the Dealer Timeline and it’s how we help our partners train smarter, sell more, and create lasting success.
We are Elite FI. And we’re just getting started.
