I need vendors to speak to our Dealer 20+ Group and appear on our talk blog radio - "Auto Industry Insiders" --- any suggestions?

As a dealer I attended every dealer 20 Group and similar "best practices" forum I could - and as a consultant I counsel my dealer clients to do the same.

We URGENTLY need some experts in automotive applications or technology to address our online interactive Dealer 20+ groups and automotive all talk blog radio program on WAAOL - All Automotive News - All The Time at www.adagencyonline.net .

If you know any industry experts with a "cutting edge" product that solves a universal problem for our delaer's please reply to this post. I have spoken at many Dealer 20 Groups as an invited guest and I assure you that the potential business earned by sharing their best practices with an interested audience of car dealers will povide an excellent R.O.I. to all involved.

That's easy --- I am looking for anything that I don't already have!

Our forum is built on the conventional Dealer 20 Group format, where the moderator - me - invites in specialists within a particular field to present a solution to common member dealer problems. My role as the moderator is to select vendors that represent "best practices" within their specialty in the virtual and the real showroom and integrate them into a seamless process for selling cars and service.

I need the "new guys" with cutting edge ideas and technology in our chosen media - "The Internet", as well as proven applications that integrate with the real world processes. We need content, information and most importantly an enhanced R.O.I. for the participants - INCLUDING ME FOR MY OWN CLIENTS!

Current "approved vendor speakers" include David Marod, the President of Northwind Software discussing our now shared relationship to promote LeadConverter - a staffed pro-active chat room with live call escallation and Mike Parsons, President of LaserStream Video with their new "boomerang" to return visitors who "thought" they left your site for a videographed "last shot" and Brian Hoecht, President and CEO of Ai Dealer introducing an online shopping cart that allows customers to buy online....people with stuff like that!

Please call me at your convenience as our NADA schedule is filling up! We will be broadcasting LIVE from the NADA announcing discovered opportunities on our blog radio - perhaps we can fill you in there since the Dealer 20 +'s may be booked - although I am flexible depending on what you have to offer our dealers!

Good luck and see you in NADA!; ▶ Reply to This

We have numerous best practices in merchandising inventory and process of selling the vehicle as well as other topics. We do NOT sell Cars.com in any presentation. Would you like to set a time to meet at NADA?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Philip Zelinger on January 19, 2008 at 4:22pm: Hi Ralph,

We already have Cars.com on our "shopping list" as a current and valued vendor so will see you at NADA regardless As for the Dealer 20+ and radio blog - "Auto Industry Insiders", I suggest that we speak before NADA in case we can post you on our pre-convention and LIVE from the convention shows and groups. Call me Monday at my office -561-962-2738 and we can review your thoughts and proposed speakers.

THANKS!!.; ▶ Reply to This

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

Our dealer client's and expected visitors are a pretty tough crowd looking for cutting edge technology and solutions so I would be happy to review your products and related "teachings." Please call me on Monday at my office number - 561-962-2738 - or over the weekend on my cell - 561-213-4300 - or perhaps email me some information at pzads@bellsouth.net in advance of our discussion.

One favor - which I apologize for not referencing in my original post - we are limiting our speakers for both the Dealer 20+ Group and the "Auto Industry Insiders" radio blog to senior management, principals and decision makers. Frankly, most dealer members are bombarded daily by "salespeople" and the theme of the forums is to hear from "insiders" with skin in the game - to quote some dealer comments when we introduced the portal.

Not saying that you won't qualify - just explaining the dealer's expectations.; ▶ Reply to This
