Aj Maida commented on Ralph Paglia's blog post Facebook Cleans Up News Feed Spam: What it Means for Car DealersAj Maida commented on Keith Shetterly's blog post The Sales-Killing Regime Change"So spot on Keith. Some of it is also they bring in a new manager and of course adjust the pay plan downward. Tell them part of the job is to reduce cost. So they reduce cost with something they don't understand, Digital Marketing. What they…"
Aj Maida commented on Louie Baur's blog post If You Think You can Ignore Google+ Forever - You're not Paying Attention!"So absolutely important.

- Got out of the service, went to buy a car, ended up in the business for 12 years. Got out and ran my own delivery service for 12 years (humm a pattern). Sold and moved north, out to dinner and the people at the next table started talking cars. You know what happened. Blood started to tingle, I butted in and 2 days later I was back in the business. Quickly figured out the place to be was on the internet. Asked lots of questions, read lots, made a you know what load of mistakes. Went through three dealerships. I am now the Director of Marketing and Internet for a solvent 62 year old dealership where the owner actually pays attention and supports the efforts of the internet dept. I'm no geek. I am challenged every day by technology. I'm a beach bum who can never be too tan. Loves his dog. Sucks at golf and plays anyway and LOVES the NY Football Giants!!!!

Why a Bad Review is GOOD and What to do with them!!!!
How many people have gotten a bad review? Yes you suck! There is somebody out there who’s going to say you suck. You don’t. You’re no better or no worse than the dealer, restaurant or hardware store down the street. I hope your better. But you are going to get a bad review. You cannot satisfy 100% of…

high. I know that sounds very familiar to you readers.…
