Great stuff, VJ. I love reading anything about our industry with a hook, and you sir, gave this a hook. (Sorry, don't have time to write more this morning, but I will return to this later.)

What Was Your First Car? Tell Me a Story About It.

As you may know, I do my best to keep car sales fun. After drowning myself in the mind-numbing Cash for Clunkers docudramament, I need a break.

I would like to hear about your first car -
What was it?
Would you still like to have it?
What happened to it?
Are you willing to share a (clean) story about your time with your first vehicle?

I will share my story - my first car was a 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28 - silver - 100% original. It was my grandfather's pride and joy. When he passed away, my grandmo… Continue

The Media's Negative Effect on the Car Industry

I was thumbing through my Sunday morning Chicago Tribune (yes, I still get the paper - don't know why as I read it online before ever cracking open the usually-soggy paper) and came across an article about the uptick in automotive sales. It mentioned that a rebound was occurring. I found the article refreshing. No, not because I was enlightened with new information, but that there was ANY positive news about car sales. Media rarely reports any positive messages regarding our industry. We've been… Continue

Joe Webb’s Proper Car Etiquette While Dating

To tell you the truth, I knew almost nothing about cars before entering the auto industry. Zero. Zilch. I’m not ashamed to say it. I was selling cars for three weeks before someone explained to me (and showed me) the difference between alloy wheels and hubcaps. True story.

What I did always seem to know was how important a role that proper car etiquette played in dating. There are definitely “rules of the road” that a person in the dating world must take into consideration when attempting to ma… Continue

America's Best Selling Automobile - not what you think

I was surprised to learn what was America's best selling automobile -

Is Stan Sher the greatest social networking marketer in the business?

I thought this would be a fun topic for a blog. And I have a feeling Stan will be one of the first to respond to it as he does to most other postings. That is why I asked myself "Is Stan Sher the greatest social networking marketer in the business?"
Many of you reading this know exactly who I am talking about. Stan Sher - who appeared out of the depths of nowhere to take over the social networking sites shared by automotive professionals everyone. Most of you have him as a friend and read his en… Continue

Nothing wrong with quality competition! Not sure about a dip in sales. I am real sure I know who you are talking about and I will encourage the challenge.

Colorful language was a new spin at DD6...but it seemed to get the point across that I was trying to make.

Hey Joe,

Our kick-off "Network of Networkers" party on Saturday night at the 6th Digital Dealer Conference was just put into hyper-drive! FirstLook has asked to co-sponsor the PARTY with Ad Agency Online so in addition to me and mine - INCLUDING YOU AND YOURS - there will be them and theirs as well as any ADM members that are there!

Call me for a conference call with Kim and Gilbert on Monday at my office number - 561-962-2738, or anytime over the weekend at my home number - 561-362-4133 so we can plan Saturday night and other meetings/presentations/seminars during the conference.

Speaking of our agendas, start inviting everyone that you know that will be there on Saturday so we can start the conference on the right foot.

After all, what are friends for!
