Steve Rattner, President Obama's car czar, has released galley proofs of ``Overhaul,'' a book that gives an insider's peek at the government's restructuring of the U.S. auto industry, most notably the two automakers that filed for bankruptcy, General Motors and Chrysler.
The 320-page memoir, to be published October 14 by Houghton Mifflin, lauds the government's efforts, spicing the tale with tittle-tattle such as the four-letter expletive aimed at the UAW by President Barack Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. A White House source, speaking without attribution, told the Washington Post that Emanuel defended and advocated for the autoworkers.

The ADM Professional Community has a mission objective to provide an open source of files and resources useful in crafting a car dealer's digital marketing strategy and then executing the daily operational tactics. These tools include email templates, phone scripts, performance reporting and tracking spreadsheets, Search Engine Marketing (SEM) practices, including both paid and organic placements, along with guidance on what features and functionality make various types of automotive websites more effective.
WHY BOTHER? Because, if we each share the insights gained from our own experiences, we raise the level of capability among all Internet Sales Managers in the auto industry... What we accomplish transcends personal gain, and becomes worthy of respect... Helping all who participate in the ADM Professional Community "experiment" be more successful, better paid and earn a greater degree of professional respect from automotive industry leaders.

The current state of retail reminds me of the story “Acres of Diamonds”. Most of us have likely read it. In case you haven’t, or don’t remember the details, here’s the short version. Dr. Russell Conwell, an American farmer, becomes intrigued with diamond mining while on a trip to Africa. He’s so fascinated with Diamond Mining that he sells his farm in the U.S. and travels to Africa to seek out his fortune. After spending countless years of searching, Dr. Conwell goes broke, gives up, and thro
