ADM is a Professional Network, describe YOUR Value Proposition... "Why should anyone do business with you?": 10 Years in the Automotive Industry-Primarily Internet Sales up to Business Development/Intelligence? More like Dilligence Management-"Moving Iron" Peace of mind comes from knowing the statistics. If you are not in or on the internet Gravy train, you are lost. My job is primarily to keep the doors swinging. How do I do this? By Building a relationship, confirming availability, and setting up a visit date and time. I also train rookies on the appointment funnel, the art of delay and antici......pation.
Internet customers or "propeller heads" as I like to call them need a flood of specific information. Provide that and back it up and you should have about 15%-20% or more buying from you. Ignore this and you can be happy with your 10% average regardless of how many leads you add. The difference between extraordinary and ordinary is just a little "extra". If your ship does not come in, swim out to it.

At 6:39pm on June 6, 2008, Philip Zelinger said…: Welcome To ADM,

As a fellow member of the online community I value input from current "front line" car people over all others, including my own. I invested 25+ years as a general manager and auto dealer principal before focusing on automotive advertising and consulting and I envy you the real world experiences that are shaping the auto industry of tomorrow which is very different from the yesterday that I had to deal with. The "virtual" showrooms that are attracting today's car shoppers present new challenges for the real world and I would appreciate any insights that you could share on any of the forums that I have posted. Please review any that might be of interest and reply with your suggestions. Feel free to disagree! I have "borrowed" some of the best ideas that I have ever had and I would appreciate your lending me some of yours for my clients and the other ADM members anxious to listen. learn and teach. After all, what are firends for!

At 8:29am on June 5, 2008, Ralph Paglia said…: Christian,

It is great to see you here... I am in Minneapolis, MN this week training a group of Digital Marketing Consultants on how to guide their dealers in the use of Digital Advertising.... Despite the fact that I should be back in the meeting room, I just had to go online to see if there were any new Automotive Digital Marketing Group members for me to welcome. I am happy to see you have joined our professional community.

Please take a moment to share some more information about yourself and your professional role. Links, blog positings, photos and videos are all appreciated. Please not that you can upload documents into any blog post or forum discussion for ADM members to download. There are already hundreds of PowerPoints, Excel Spreadsheets, Word Doc's, PDF files and more... We would be thrilled to get you to upload a few of yours to share with the community.

It was very nice of you to take the time to upload a profile photo so our ADM members can put a face with your name... Thank you!

I love seeing yet another automotive professional and industry colleague like yourself join the ADM community... When I checked the membership section a moment ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that we are now up to 825 automotive sales and marketing professionals who have joined the ADM Community!

Amazing support from an amazing industry... Makes the aggravation of flying around the country with a guy sitting next to me who keeps sticking his elbow into my ribs, somehow worth it!

Thanks for helping us get to this critical mass of over 800 members. I am thrilled and delighted to see that you have joined our community... Welcome and THANK YOU!

We are looking forward to any best practices, guidance, tactics, files, photos and videos you are willing to share with us.

Also, you have full access to your very own blog web site within this community, so feel free to get into the swing of things and use this community as a means of sharing with associates, customers, clients and friends!
