As I've said before, every day Vin Solutions has surprises up it's sleeve. When I opened up the program this morning there was a whole list of upgrades that went live this AM (Nothing new for this gr…

Dumb Stuff on Dealer Websites?

That is my favorite website of all time. It's so bad, it's good. Not for customers but to make me laugh anytime I'm frustrated.

Our First Day With Our New CRM

Well it's been a little over two weeks with Vin Solutions and everything is going great. Any issue that we've brought up has been handled and improved upon. This company is so super flexible. I don't…

Is anyone else having a similar problem with Autotrader and cars.com?

I politely disagree. We've had 3 meetings with Autotrader since this posting with another one scheduled and they have not been able to find anything wrong even though we've begged them for the negati…

I couldn't agree more! When I first got to Precision Acura we had Higher Gear who everyone knows hasn't done a real enhancement in 10 years. I struggled with them for 5 - 6 months while I researched many different CRM's. My main requirement was to h…

Autotrader has completely turned around the way they do business. The reps are willing to work with dealers to promote best practices and help their dealers maximize their ROI. I have known my rep, Jay Urban, for 8 years and he is one of the best ve…

Mitchell,
I see that you have about 50 pictures per car but whoever is taking the pictures isnt staging them right. I see shots with mats in them, others that are blurry, and a couple that have other cars in them. Are you happy with your service? Redline offers lower rates then most lot service companies and focuses on SERVICE. We come out multiple time per week, stage each car, and edit the photos. If it rains we come out the next day and can provide references.
I would like 10 mins of your time to put in a competitive quote for your business.
Thank you for your time,
Marc Rubino

Hello Mitchell,

Welcome to the ADM Professional Community!
It is great to see you here... I am in my home office here in Gilbert, AZ trying to figure out how to get from Phoenix to Providence to San Antonio and back to Phoenix in 3 days... Anyways, despite the fact that I should be doing something else, like expense reports, I just had to go online to see if there were any new ADM Professional Community members that I should personally welcome... When I did... Shazam! There you were, one of several new(er) ADM Professionals that I consider very special and who I should welcome to our community.
(about time, huh?)

On behalf of both myself, and the rest of the 2,700+ member ADM Community, welcome to our online information exchange and file sharing repository... We are very happy that you have joined our community of automotive marketing, advertising and sales professionals.

IMPORTANT: Please send an email to mail@automotivedigitalmarketing.com and "right click" on the email address (in Outlook), then select "Add To Outlook Contacts" to save in your address book... Otherwise, messages from ADM will end up in your "Junk Mail" folder. If you look in your Junk Mail folder and find a message from ADM, Right Click on the message, select "Junk Mail" and then select "Add Sender's Domain to Safe Sender List" so that you will get your notifications, message alerts, invites, etc.


Please take a moment to share some more information about your current and previous professional roles. We would love to see more website links from you, and some blog postings with PPT, XLS, DOC and PDF files attached are particularly welcome. You can also upload or attach files and photos, or embed video clips into any ADM Forum posts you create, or respond to... We would all (well, most of us) love to see and listen to your music, automotive related photos and car business related videos. Because of our advertisers, I am able to pay for additional server storage capacity for ADM members to upload and have access to 1,000 GB (a Terabyte) of valuable content. So, any useful files you upload to take advantage of all this extra capacity, and share with your ADM professional colleagues is appreciated.

VERY IMPORTANT - All of us at ADM very much appreciate that you took the time to complete your profile section by uploading a photo showing your face. Most ADM members would like to put a face with your name and profile... Based on what i have seen since starting the ADM Professional Community at the beginning of 2008, I can promise you that you'll get more out of ADM when other members see that you have uploaded a profile photo!

I love seeing more and more automotive professionals and auto industry colleagues like yourself join the ADM Professional Community... When I checked the membership section a moment ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that as of today, and thanks to your enrollment we are now up to over 2,700 automotive sales and marketing professionals who have joined the ADM Community... ADM was initially launched in early January 2008, and with help from automotive marketing professionals like yourself, we broke the 1,000 member mark on the 4th of July, 2008!

ADM members receive an amazing amount of support from an industry that has never ceased to amaze me, even after 28 years of selling cars... Makes the aggravation of flying around the country with guys sitting next to me who stick their elbows into my ribs, somehow worth it!

One of the greatest features that ADM provides is full un-moderated, unlimited access to your very own blog web site publishing tools within your personal profile section (here) of the ADM community. So feel free to get into the swing of things and use this website and the resources you get at no extra cost (because the ads here pay for them), as a means of sharing information, files, updates, proposals, photos, videos, etc.with your associates, customers, clients and friends!
