ADM is a Professional Network, describe: "Why should anyone do business with you?"

I have a profound passion for automotive ecommerce, and am constantly seeking ways to create measurable results. I believe that every dealership has an opportunity to be successful online, but must first embrace the fundamentals of doing business in the Internet age. By applying sound business principles, appropriate technology, and tailored sales methodology, I can help your company reach its full potential.

Plus, I work with "the funniest person in the car business."
