Hello Terrence,

As a "car guy" turned "ad guy" turned "technology based system/process consultant" turned "auto industry social networker/blogger" ... I am getting dizzy so that is enough turning .. I suggest that we talk about your opportunity.

Rather than forward a "resume" I suggest that you refer to my contributions on ADM as well as a Google search for "automotive advertising" or automotive advertising agencies" under their "web" and "blog" verticals and note entries by me individually as well as through my agency portal AdAgencyOnline.Net.

Additional articles that I believe will evidence my qualifications for your project can also be found at: http://ezinearticles.com/?expert_bio=Philip_Zelinger

If you are gong to the NADA Convention perhaps we can/should meet at our party at The Ritz Carlton Lobby Lounge on Friday evening from 8PM to 10PM to discuss your needs since I am confident that I -- or one of my guests -- will certainly end your search.

Here is an invitation link and I hope to continue our dialogue in the real world. After all, what are friends for!

Let me know -

Terrence

Sure, just reach me on my cell, 561-213-4300, or email me at pzads@bellsouth.net and we can coordinate a meeting. I am hosting several hospitality suites for vendor clients at various hotels near the convention including the Hilton and the Mariott plus I have scheduled meetings at my hotel, The Ritz Carlton, so we will have a variety of venues to choose from!

Oh yes, I probably should also have mentioned that I authored two published books on the auto industry, "How To Buy A Car, Ex Dealer Tells All" and "How To Sell A Car, A Career Training Guide To The Auto Industry" and I organized a social networking portal for a client - http://AutoIndustryInsights.com -- that you might want to visit to see some other related work product.

Frankly, I am used to earning most of my business/clients via referrals and/or doing business with friends so this entire resume interview process is new to me -- but so far, this is fun!

See you in Orlando!

Hey Phil-

Sorry I missed you in Orlando - it was such a fast trip - but since you are here in Boca we would like you to stop in for a visit so we can chat, and discuss what we are looking for and see if you are interested in what we are doing.

My direct email is terrence@Practicalsystems.com - let me know what day next week works for you.

Terrence

Hey back at you Terrence,

Ooops - you mean that the guy that I bought drinks for at Mark Boyd's party at the Ice Bar launching CarGigi in partnership with HomeNet wasn't you!! Oh well, no wonder his check bounced!

No worries, just call me later this morning at my office number, 561-962-2738, and we will figure out where you can buy me lunch to make up for it. I am on a diet so how much can 1,200 calories cost you!

Speak to you soon.

ROFL -

Mark Boyd? dont know him - cargigi - never heard of it - as i had said - i wasnt flying in till Sunday, so ya you definately got played by the wrong person. I dont write checks - cash only.

1200 calories - dont know never had to watch them luckily.

I like this idea. I hope you can get it off the ground. Are you just having a writer with articles and such? Just curious, didn't mean to clutter up this thread.

HI Steve

Ya i think it will be a great addition to our site. Right now we are just developing it, once its developed we will be having one or 2 in house writers that will keep the stories coming, and then implement the advertising and marketing strategy to use to go out to possibly partnering companies for doing cross sells, cross traffic and co branded marketing events.

@ Terrence

That is a pretty good idea. A friend and I once thought about just writing about the lifestyle involved in the import community, and just saw last week he had an article in Modified Magazine. I was pretty impressed. I am looking forward to hearing more here as the process continues.
