What interesting insights can you contribute to the ADM Community? Are you PASSIONATE about anything? Tell us who you REALLY are!

My company provides the service of uploading and maintaining online inventory for Auto Dealerships including the distribution of photos and descriptions to 3rd party websites and dealer websites through Autobase, Inc. We have both an outside service in which we come to the dealer and photograph and sticker vehicles, and an in house solution for dealers who prefer to do this themselves.

We also offer a "high line" photography package to dealers for use in any ad media they desire.

We have been in business since November of 2003. We currently have 35 dealers using our service with steady growth every year. We recently expanded to New Mexico and are looking for other markets to continue our expansion efforts.

I have an automotive background dating back to 1988. I started on the retail side, selling cars. I held other positions in dealerships, including F&I, New Car Sales Manager, and Internet Director. I worked as a consultant for dealers under the employment of HAC Group. Before being purchased by Reynolds and Reynolds, we were the pioneers of Internet Sales Processes for practical use in dealerships across the country. I was also part of a seminar team that raised awareness of the Internet for Subaru, and helped introduce Ford Direct to its dealers.

I have a passion for helping my dealers utilize the internet to their maximum potential. After all, the internet has become the "front line" of the dealership. That is why we also offer training and consulting packages as well. We can do a one time analysis of your Internet Department's workings to tweak your process, or build your process from scratch.

I have a beautiful wife, Tamra and 3 great kids, two sons, Justin and Cameron, and a daughter, Rhegan.

Good luck in 2009. I hope this system leads to some great sharing of knowledge and help for each other.

As a Trainer/Consultant, What sets you apart from others?

I was on a webinar yesterday called "Battle of the Trainers." On it, was a dealership looking for a consultant/trainer to take them to the next level with their BDC/Internet efforts. The premise was to have the dealer bulk interview trainers to see if they could find the right one for them. It was a very interesting webinar. I enjoyed listening t

Get 'Em In Today

First it was Johnnie Liddi. Then it was Grant Cardone. While Grant’s message was delivered MUCH better and gave the viewing audience a way out of “sucking” by giving them a clue as to how to fix their problems, the message was still the same. We need to do what we need to do.

Now, I am not suggesting that we go into our sales meetings and tell everyone how horrible they are (Johnnie Liddi), but there is one area of concern that has been eating at me for a while. And since we are… Continue

Communication Today

We try to control the conversation with our customers. We do things like answer questions with questions. The kinds of questions we ask are designed to lead the customer down the process to a vehicle that is in stock. (we hope) After all, it doesn’t matter what the customer asks if we don’t have a car to meet their needs, right?
