THE DATA POLICE HAVE ARRIVED

Posted on January 15, 2012 at 8:00am 34 Comments 2 Promotions

Most recently there has been a bold new wave washing over the automotive dealership landscape. Beginning with TrueCar, whose CEO bragged about using data to eliminate dealerships and lower profits below True Cost. He arrogantly taunted us with claims of "Transparency" which has become the "Buzz Word" of every vendor using our own data to virtually put us out of business, to steal our customers information, and sell it, pass it on to their affiliate companies, and otherwise resell it…

I totally understand, they wanted to make sure they got all their value from Da'Man! I know that I'd be doing some traveling in the immediate future as part of my business. There's a company in Georgia that I'll be visiting with, so we'll catch up eventually. I'm actually surprised a local dealer called you in, as people in this area are very resistant to change. I'll let you know when I'm heading down your way.

At 7:49pm on March 3, 2012, doug wolford said…: Jim its time you take on this fortune magazine on behave of all the hard working best intentioned salepeople out there in America.

At 10:14am on December 22, 2011, David DeSantis said…: Thank you for the friend request. Why were you in Elmira a few weeks ago? Man, I would've loved to chat with you. Maybe the next time you're in the area.

At 12:13pm on December 20, 2011, Anne M Klein said…: So, you like to bench press!

At 12:06pm on April 11, 2011, Mark Freeman said…: Jim,

One thing...I'm currently researching companies that could potentially be a distributor of our Virtual Sales Center program and am talking to ADP and a few others. Do you have any other suggestions who could / should / would be an ideal candidate who has nationwide representation who I can speak with? To get a better idea of our program, please go to www.turbomotiv.com and use the video password turbo1 to view the demonstration videos. Thank you for any help you may be able to sift my way.

At 12:01pm on April 11, 2011, Mark Freeman said…: Hello Jim....I've heard nothing but good things about you. Keep up the good work and I hope to meet you in person someday. Call me if you need anything. Blessings.

Mark

At 6:32am on June 24, 2010, Fern Turpin Jr said…: OK. No Sales Pitch, just the truth. What can I expect from the Dealer Internet Battle? How is the schedule laid out? I know enough to be able to discuss these topics, but not enough to turn them into profits for my dealership. I do NOT want to attend, if its going to be a sales pitch to attend all of the speakers individual events. That happens too often. Why do I NEED to attend this event?

At 3:23pm on June 4, 2010, Dara Moore said…: My pleasure. You are someone I have heard much about and feel I can learn a lot from. Your knowledge and experience will make me able to offer the support our dealers deserve. :)

At 3:32pm on January 8, 2010, James A. Ziegler said…: Matt I intend to do another video on my Birthday next week (Jan 16th) and hopefully I'll bench press 315 lbs. again. JIM
