Training and education
Business training built for golf car businesses
Training on the parts of the business that decide whether a good season turns into a good year: the numbers, the service bay, the inventory, and the people.
Planned Formats, dates, and pricing are still being set. You can talk with us about it now.
Training topics
What the training covers
Each topic is taught with the realities of this industry in view: seasonality, floor plans, and departments that each run on different math.
Department profitability
Read results by department, assign overhead sensibly, and see which parts of the business pay for the others.
Inventory and floor plans
Order mix, aging, curtailment schedules, and the true carrying cost of each unit on the lot.
Seasonal cash planning
A month-by-month cash plan for the slow months, the stocking orders, and the spring rush.
Pricing
Pricing new and used carts, accessories, installs, custom builds, conversions, and service labor.
KPIs that fit the business
Units sold, gross profit per unit, billed service hours, parts and accessory turns, and days in inventory, tracked on one page.
Service operations
Scheduling, write-ups, technician productivity, comebacks, and keeping the bay moving in peak season.
Hiring and onboarding
Finding, hiring, and training technicians and seasonal staff early enough to matter.
A management rhythm
Weekly and monthly meetings with the right numbers in front of the right people, so decisions do not wait for the owner.
Education
Formats we are building
We are building education in four formats. None are open for enrollment yet; dates and details will appear on this page when they are set.
Planned
Workshops
Focused sessions on a single topic, such as preparing for the season or reading your department numbers.
Courses
Structured learning paths that build skills over several weeks.
Webinars
Shorter live sessions on timely questions facing golf car businesses.
Resources
Worksheets, checklists, and guides you can put to work the same week.
Peer learning and community
Learning from people who run the same kind of business
Planned
Some of the most useful advice comes from someone who faced the same April last year. We plan to bring golf car business leaders together in small groups to compare notes, work through decisions, and keep each other accountable.
Josh created BUILD (Business United in Leadership Development), a peer community and practical method for business owners. That experience shapes how we plan to run peer learning for this industry.
Advisory and fractional CFO
When you need hands-on financial help
Planned
Some businesses need more than training: someone to build the forecast, read the department numbers with you each month, and prepare for conversations with lenders and partners. That work is delivered through Maple Creek Advisors, the advisory practice Josh and Matt run together.

Tell us what your team needs to learn
Training is being shaped now around the questions golf car owners face. A conversation helps us build the right things first, and helps you decide whether to wait for a course or start working together sooner.
