What does it take to transform a single business purchase into a $300 million enterprise?

Creating a $300 million enterprise from a single business purchase requires both strategic vision and effective management. Dave Lamont's journey exemplifies the key elements necessary for such a transformation.

As the CEO of Renfrew Business Group and president of Renfrew Chrysler, Dave emphasizes that success in business starts with mastering the fundamentals. This means understanding the basics of sales, operations, and financial management. For him, running a car dealership successfully involved creating a strong sales organization and not just reacting to market conditions.

In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Dave to talk about the importance of mastering business fundamentals, the power of mentorship, and the continuous pursuit of knowledge. They will also discuss Dave’s book, Crank It!: A Playbook for Succeeding in Business and Life, where readers will find actionable steps and resources to help them succeed professionally and personally.

Topics include:

  • Dave talks about his background and passion for automotive
  • Acquiring Renfrew Chrysler and thriving through the 2008 economic challenges
  • The importance of being a management-driven rather than market-driven
  • The evolving landscape of the automotive industry
  • The value of continuous learning and growth at any age
  • Dave discusses his book “Crank It!” and the inspiration behind it
  • Dave shares the challenges of having a learning disability in his youth
  • And other topics…
