"Why We Don't Need Car Dealers"

I found this article in "The Week" magazine (July 17, 2009) reprinted from The Washington Post and thought I'd share.

"Why We Don't Need Car Dealers" - Charles Lane, The Washington Post

"Why, in this day and age, should I have to haggle with 'grinning salesmen' when it's time to buy a car? asked Charles Lane. The short answer is that car dealers are protected by state laws that give them exclusive sales territories and bar online competitors. Such laws might have made s

Arnold,

Wow, you really get engaged, huh?!?! Thank you for joining the ADM Professional Community... The ADM Community is a unique new "thing" for the car business so we are learning how to leverage our association with each other more and more.

For example, we will leverage the size of ADM's membership with suppliers to get deals and other forms of additional value and special treatment.

Please share what you have seen from your unique vantage point that is working well, by posting Blog articles, ADM Forum discussions, and as many attached or embedded doc, excel, PPT, PDF, photos, videos and other files as you can within the ADM professional community site.

You can find over 30 gigabytes of email templates, phone scripts, process flow charts, job descriptions, reporting spreadsheets, marketing charts, PPT presentation files, images and videos here inside of ADM by using the Google Site Search located on the Showroom page in the middle section about 1/3 way down...

Thank you for attending the Digital Dealer Conference in Las Vegas. Did you attend either my "Web 2.0 Guerrilla Marketing" or "Email is Killing You" workshops? I would love to get your feedback about what I should have focused more or less on, from the material I presented... Even an old car dog like me wants to improve the way I do things!

Before the Digital Dealer 6 Conference in Las Vegas, I was able to secure a Digital Dealer Conference Registration promo offer from ADP Digital Marketing that allows dealers and managers to apply up to $495 of their DD 6 Conference Registration fees to any ADP Digital Advertising solution.

Once again, thank you for joining ADM...

Arnold, long time no see! What have you been up to?? Are you ready for some iMotors leads yet? We have added so many things to the program, we now have over 5 different websites and currently use geo-marketing now to generate leads to our sites!
