The 2026 RV Dealers Convention/Expo will feature a session focused on helping RV dealerships improve recruiting, hiring and employee development strategies as dealers continue to face challenges attracting and retaining high-performing employees.
Jamison Carrier, founder of TeamNavX, will present “Building a Championship Team: How Leading Dealerships Attract Top Performers” from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, as part of the Dealer/GM track of sessions.
The session will provide dealership leaders with recruiting strategies, interview tools and workforce development approaches designed to help identify and develop employees who contribute to long-term dealership performance.
Carrier will discuss why top performers often do not apply for open positions and how dealerships can take a more proactive approach to recruiting candidates.
The session will also cover interview methods designed to help managers identify performance patterns and distinguish between average candidates and top performers.
Additional topics will include creating MAPs, which provide role clarity and support hiring decisions and onboarding, as well as strategies for building dealership cultures focused on attracting, retaining and developing employees.
According to the event announcement, Carrier will provide attendees with a take-home workbook and an action plan to strengthen dealership talent pipelines and recruiting efforts.
