I'll be attending and looking forward to working with the Ralphinator around social media in the work groups and roundtables. The focus is really going to be not just presenting, but getting the dealers active in each session, answering the tough qu…

The Almighty Salesperson...And The Almighty Dollar

Somewhere, over time, the thing in the middle of you and a buck (customer, client, deal, contract) was swept away even though that is was business is all about. It seems like the easy ride, free equity, huge perks and general "asleep at the wheel" mentality gave way to a gaping hole the size of a small planet. And guess who allowed it to happen? We did.

You can give excuse after excuse, allow yourself all of the credit in the world, but at the end of the day are you going to make it happen...no… Continue

Week At IM@CS: Chats With The Industry

It's been a while, maybe to long! Considering what is happening in the market, it's time to get back on track with the folks that power the industry (yes, besides consultants!). This is another mix of providers touching different aspects of marketing and services that hopefully give you a leg up (if not a whole body length or two).

You've heard it here before and you'll likely continue to hear it: accountability. I've not yet met a vendor that tells you everything. Even the most up front compan… Continue

Don't Look Down...I Said Don't Look Down!

It's absolutely amazing...we humans. Creatures of habit, intrigue and fear-based reactivity. Right now is no exception, obviously! However, it is also possibly one of the most defining times as well. True leaders will come out of these challenges and leave those that just waited behind.

Survival of the fittest? Nope. Natural selection? Not in the least. Those that listen, learn and lead will become the only true survivors in the new environment, whatever that is. A constant vegetative state lea… Continue

Don't Have The Time? You Can't Make It But You Can Absolutely Get It Done!

So many people...so little time! Man, you can't get away from the fear and excuses....it's the age of "I don't have enough time do to that"..."I can't add anything to my plate"..."If only I had another day in my week to pull that off"! Everyone is busy but few are actually doing much. The ones who see opportunity always figure a way to get things done, followed by the rest thinking they're just 'lucky' or that they have more 'resources'.

Can you hear it now? Most people pulling up to the drive-… Continue

You may have a valid point about admin approval for new ADM users.

We are just piloting www.widestorm.com for tonkinhonda.com it is awesome. I'm actually watching online negotiations as they are happening and they are delivering vehilcles and holding gross. It's pretty cool. How's your consulting practice going?

Thank you for being such an active ADM member... And, a really BIG THANK YOU for outside blog postings that compliment and refer to the ADM Professional Community website! My hope is to someday leverage ADM into a professional non-profit association of some sort... Think about the original premise of AAISP.

At 1:16pm on November 23, 2008, Ralph Paglia said…: Gary,

Thank you for the heads up on the links within ADM... I could not agree with you more! The challenge is that I am the only one maintaining the site from an admin point of view and I try to use the "new window" command on most links, but do not know how to do that for links embedded in comments and forum posts. Do you know of a way i can accomplish links opening in new windows across the whole site's content?
