Nissan First

Meet Nissan First: A Working Day Built Only for Nissan Dealers

Published On: July 21st, 2026Categories: Events

You’ve been to the events. You came home with a notebook full of ideas and a store that ran exactly the same on Monday. Nissan First is built to break that. Two days on the only two things that move used car money: your acquisition and your service drive. You won’t watch a strategy. You’ll build one, on your own numbers, before you leave.

What Is Nissan First?

Nissan First is a two-day working session for Nissan dealers, held at VINCUE HQ in Kansas City, MO. No vendor speeches. No panels. You bring your store’s real numbers and spend two days rebuilding two things: how you acquire used cars and how you turn your service drive into inventory.

Led by Daniel Govaer, EVP of Product at VINCUE and a leader in the company’s Vehicle Acquisition 20 Group with NCM Associates — the day is run by someone who lives in this data everyday. You’ll do the work in the VINCUE platform, on your own data, with our team next to you and a room of Nissan dealers running the same plays against the same market. You don’t leave with a to-do list. You leave with the work already done.

What to Expect Over Two Days

  • Day One (8:00 AM–5:00 PM). It opens with the ground rules that set the tone: no vendor speeches, everything on the table. From there you go to work. You’ll pull your own market live on screen, run real Nissan incentive scenarios in a compliance working session, then build a service drive acquisition plan using your store’s actual RO and owners-base data. The day closes with dinner on us at Lidia’s for some off the record conversations.
  • Day Two (8:00 AM–12:30 PM). A focused half-day to lock it in: you’ll finish your install plan and put your product feedback straight in front of the VINCUE team. Wrapped by 12:30, so you’re on the road home with your afternoon back.

Built Only for Nissan Dealers

This one isn’t open to everyone. Nissan First was built for Nissan dealers and no one else — the strategies, the sessions, the room. It’s kept small on purpose, because a working session only works when everyone in it is doing the work. If that’s the day you’ve been waiting for, this is it.

Our Dealers Can’t Stay Quiet on Google

Launched VINCUE a couple months ago for our dealership as we were previously on vAuto. We love the pricing, software, and the support team is engaging with a lot of new features coming. It was a GREAT decision to switch from vAuto to VINCUE and we are very happy with the new software and support team.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

Was previously with another provider for 16 years but now have been with VINCUE for 6 months and I absolutely love it and would never go back to my old provider. Even if you’re not considering making any changes right now, this is one I would look into and you won’t regret it! What I realized is how behind the times my previous provider is and I didn’t even realize it until I learned about VINCUE!
