Growth Strategy

Managing The Competitive Environment

We believe that in order for Cervus LP to have sustainable earnings we

must answer the competitive threat on three levels: attention to our

customers, partnering with our suppliers and strong market presence.

Customer Focus

Customer satisfaction is a key performance criteria used in evaluating

dealership performance. Customer input is obtained formally and informally

and is used to modify dealership processes to improve our customer service.

Partnering With Suppliers

A strong relationship with our manufacturers is critical to ensuring product

delivery, price competition and quick response to competitive pressures.

Strong Market Presence

We believe that a strong market presence is a key factor in driving top and

bottom line results. We accomplish this by providing world-class products

and services to our customers at competitive prices.
