Twitter for Dealers and Internet Sales Manager Social Networks
After hearing about people having problems getting to the ADM Professional Community website (too many letters in the domain), I went to the queen of domain name management, Haley Paglia...
Haley pointed out the obvious, that www.AutomotiveDigitalMarketing.com (#1 Root Domain) is too many letters to type in... So, she registered the domains listed below for the ADM Community, and we pointed them to their respective sections within ADM:www.ADM.fm

Baby Boomers Shift Car Buying Choices
The gas-price spike of 2008 followed by the economic disaster of 2009 has prompted baby boomers to re-evaluate their vehicle choices.
"It was once thought that when baby boomers could put college tuition payments and other parenting expenses behind them, they would reward themselves with expensive luxury cars," commented Edmunds.com Senior Analyst Michelle Krebs, who presented on the topic to the Seventh Annual What's Next Boomer Business Summit in Chicago today. "But that was before economic catastrophe struck. Now that their kids can't find jobs and their nest eggs have shrunk, they are rethinking everything, including their vehicle choices."
Their vehicle choices fall into a trio of sweeping categories: efficiency, lifestyle and indulgence.
How Did The Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community Originate?
----------- Ralph Paglia
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. ADM seeks documented job descriptions, pay plans, bonus and incentive descriptions that members can repurpose towards managing human resources.
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.
