Louie Baur commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"Hey Alexander, I lived in third world country as well when I was in Desert Storm. I put much thought into the fact that there is a term for crap countries lol. There is a PC term for everything these days."
Ryan Leslie commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"Hey Tim, I'm not trying to be argumentative, but I'm not sure that your post debunks this video or that "common sense" is an appropriate measurement for comprehension. That is actually the entire assertion of the video, what…"
Timothy Martell commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"This is completely wrong. Apply a little common sense and anyone can see that the premise of this video was intended to yield the result. We debunk this…"

Alexander Lau commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"Hey Louie, let me be brutally honest with you. "Developing countries" is a politically correct piece of crap name for 3rd World Countries. I lived in one for 4 years. :-)"
Alexander Lau commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"Googlebot is able to sniff through fake 'Likes' like a hot knife through butter. 'Reach' is a much more important metric. That's all I'm worried about, social signals in SEO.
Although, there are plenty of groups out…"
Louie Baur commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you still paying for fake likes?"Hey Ryan that is a great video. I love the term developing countries. I am going to have to remember that. For our clients its not about the likes at all and its all about good local engagement."

I came across this scathing opinion piece on Facebook advertising and I'd like to share it with the community for discussion. I'm admittedly not extremely well versed on Facebook ads, but this video seems to make a clear and concise case for questioning the effectiveness of buying likes through sponsored ads. What do you think?See More
Ryan Leslie replied to J.D. Rucker's discussion Reputation Management Companies: Best and Worst"You nailed it Justin! JD and I have talked about this before at length. Your reputation is your reputation online or off. You can't write a check to right your reputation, that must start in the store. It doesn't really matter what program…"
Brian Bennington commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you a Boss or a Leader?"Hey Micah, A dynamite cartoon, both really funny and educational. Hope your Dad sends you more of them. But, what's ironic is your cartoon can be just as effective educating some in management about "softening" their style…"

Chip Diggs commented on Ryan Leslie's blog post Are you a Boss or a Leader?"No one likes to be “bossed” around especially the up and coming new breed of automobile sales consultants. More importantly, being a leader is being a leader regardless of whether you are in the car business or not.…"

- ADM is a Professional Network, please describe YOUR Value Proposition... Why do business with you?
- There are two kinds of people that are very interested in Online Reviews of your Dealership. The first set is the people that are considering buying from you or using you for service. The second set of people are the ones that had a not so great experience at your store and want to shout about it from the virtual rooftops. You don't want these two groups socializing at your virtual cocktail party.
Your customers are actively searching for peer reviews of you and your business. Do you want to be proactive and effectively manage your Online Reputation by insulating those negative reviews with a ton of positive ones or do you want to be reactive to a very vocal minority intent on discrediting your good name?
- What interesting insights can you contribute to the ADM Community? What are you PASSIONATE about? Who are you?
- You bet! I'm passionate about helping the good guys and gals out there find creative ways to break through the "greasy car sales" stereotypes. I've had the pleasure of working closely with some GREAT people that happen to sell cars for a living. It makes me crazy that they don't get the respect they deserve.

A member of my team sent this picture to me this morning:
For those of you with direct reports, how important is it to your department that you are seen as the "leader" as opposed to the "boss?" Is there ever a case that being the "boss" is beneficial, or is it always a detriment to the…

For those of you that attended Brian Benstock's excellent session at AutoCon, here is a visual aide:
Brian's point was that focusing on one KPI at the expense of others is NOT success. If this guy's biceps represent gross and his calf's represent turn, there is an obvious imbalance for management to…

As an active participant in the forums I hope you'll give me a little leeway on a semi-promotional post 
We are trying something a little different this week in advance of the busy conference season by doing a virtual "dropping of the business card" to win an Ipad. All you need to do is watch a short video testimonial from Jeff King of Bozard Ford. This is stupid easy and the odds of winning are really pretty darn good. How many dealership employees will take 5 minutes…
