Todd Kaminski shared thisA key moment in building dealer legacy. Nicely done Mike and Jeff!Todd Kaminski shared thisAuto dealers are “flying blind” on one of their most important profit centers—but what do they do about it? In a recent episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast, our very own East Division General Manager Michael Naim joins host Sam D’Arc and dealer principal Jeff Glanzmann to break down why quarterly statements and “set it and forget it” reinsurance strategies are costing dealers millions of dollars. From real time visibility to smarter, data driven decision-making, this conversation shows how greater transparency in reinsurance can drive stronger premium performance—and even impact recon and CSI.

Todd Kaminski liked thisTodd Kaminski liked thisPeople ask me what I do for a living. My answer? I make people better. Sales is a skill unlike almost anything else in this world. It takes talent, perspective, work ethic, discipline, self-awareness, and the ability to truly understand your client’s needs. But being a professional? That’s 10x all of it. Professionals hone their craft.They study.They adapt.They sharpen their skills every single day. The best salespeople are never “finished.” They’re always learning, evolving, and pushing themselves to another level. That’s one of the things I appreciate most about working for Zurich. Iron sharpens iron. You’re surrounded by people who challenge you to grow, improve, and elevate your game. Because it takes the best to bring out the best. Let’s talk. #Sales #Leadership #ProfessionalDevelopment #Automotive #Training #Zurich #SalesExcellence #Growth

Todd Kaminski liked thisTodd Kaminski liked thisProud of what the team has accomplished with this recognition. Moving up 22 spots to #110 and receiving #2 on the largest gain in rankings on Automotive News’ Top 150 is a strong reflection of the discipline and consistency across our dealerships. What’s most meaningful is that this growth was largely driven by the performance of our existing stores. It speaks to how our teams show up every day, operate with accountability, and stay committed to execution. A thank you to our teams across every rooftop—our GMs, sales professionals, operations teams, and leadership group. This is not just a company milestone; it’s a reflection of the people behind it. This recognition belongs to every individual contributing to our performance day in and day out. Appreciate the continued leadership of Taseer Badar and the collective effort across the organization. This is a team achievement and we’re just getting started.

Todd Kaminski liked thisIt was a pleasure being on this episode of Industry Spotlight. Thank you to Sam and Jeff for a great reinsurance conversation!Todd Kaminski liked this70 cents on the dollar. That's what Jeff Glanzmann keeps for every dollar of premium he puts into his reinsurance program. Most dealers don't even know what their number is. Today on the Industry Spotlight podcast, host Sam D'Arc talks with Michael Naim, Vice President, East Division, Direct Markets at Zurich North America, and Jeff Glanzmann, Dealer Principal, Glanzmann Subaru, to talk about why that gap exists and what it actually takes to close it. What stood out: 1. The right question isn't "what's my loss ratio?" It's "what's my return on premium?" For every dollar you put in, what are you keeping? NADA says net-to-sale on the retail side runs around 4%. Jeff's reinsurance is running north of 70%. 2. Most dealers are flying blind. No dashboard. No real-time data. Just a quarterly PDF if they ask for it. Jeff ran his program that way for years. He calls it "set it and forget it." He won't go back. 3. One data insight changed the entire operation. Real-time claims data revealed too many losses hitting within the first 120 days of ownership. That led to tightening used car recon thresholds, which improved CSI, boosted sales team confidence, and protected the portfolio. 4. The biggest mistake dealers make right now: fixating on fee structure instead of results. A few dollars on admin fees is noise if you don't know what you're actually keeping. 5. Set it and forget it doesn't work in 2026. With labor rates and parts costs moving fast, if your premiums haven't kept up, your reinsurance is quietly bleeding. And you won't see it until it's too late to pivot. The full episode is live!
