"It gets exponentially more complex having to deal with a big team rather than one, two or three people, as you have to adapt your leadership style to individuals rather than taking a blanket approach." Now, this is a lesson that I got from our next guests, the founders of DealersOnline,  William Miller and Renaldo De Jager.So DealersOnline is a SaaS business in the automotive industry that helps dealerships respond to rapid changes in markets and consumer behaviour. DealersOnline started because William - who worked in the dealership environments in many sales roles - had enough of the problems related to corruption, stock management and transparency in dealership-to-dealership car sales. He partnered with Renaldo - an IT Specialist and Software Developer, who at the time was actually a client of William's - to come up with an auction platform that provides a more transparent and efficient transaction of stock between dealerships at a higher return.Since implementing that first solution, DealersOnline has evolved into a business of 136 people that doesn't only facilitate these online auction sales in multiple environments, but also does fleet disposals for corporates and banks, and provides new software to dealerships to help them stay relevant in rapidly changing markets.In this episode, we're going to talk about how the importance of adapting to rapidly changing technology is the key to staying relevant and growing up.
