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.

Is that about right Micah?"

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 to hear from a peer…See More
Ryan Leslie commented on Keith Shetterly's blog post Yelp Ye-LOL-p: At Business, DOING Business Reviews Added"Interesting article Keith. Thanks for sharing! I hadn't seen that clip Manny, haven't paid attention to anything from "The People's Court" since Wapner! Thanks to both of you!

Ryan Leslie replied to Micah Birkholz's discussion Did you know if you hit refresh on posts it adds another view count?"I think this sounds like a confession. Aren't YOU at the top of the content heap my friend? ;)
Kidding of course, your stuff is so good that I almost always come back to re-read your posts."
Ryan Leslie commented on Micah Birkholz's blog post Bad Advice: Reputation Management, Yelp and Google"I appreciate the question Larry. This may help to add some color to my comments here too. Since you asked a DealerRater specific question I'm going to put on my DealerRater hat for this response.
Since day 1, more than 10 years ago now,…"
Ryan Leslie commented on Micah Birkholz's blog post Bad Advice: Reputation Management, Yelp and Google"I guess I don't believe that any terms of service was written for the purpose of software developers to come up with "good hacks" to defeat them.

Ryan Leslie commented on Micah Birkholz's blog post Bad Advice: Reputation Management, Yelp and Google"Wow! What a great thread... Micah when you posted this I would have never guessed it would have generated so much discussion. I know Tom and I got to know each others beliefs on this topic in another thread here on ADM that feels like it took place…"
Ryan Leslie commented on Micah Birkholz's blog post Bad Advice: Reputation Management, Yelp and Google"Larry, You're right. "Argument" was definitely the wrong word choice. I apologize.
Now, if I can prove to you unequivocally that Google's TOS is as clear as a "no smoking sign on an airplane," would you be willing to…"
Ryan Leslie commented on Micah Birkholz's blog post Bad Advice: Reputation Management, Yelp and Google"...and this is why I'm excited about debating this topic with Ralph at AutoCon!

- 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.

Have you ever found yourself up late at night watching a movie that has been edited for content?
Some dubs are better than others, but it doesn't take a lip reader to know that "Yippee Kay Yeah, Mr. Falcon" may not have been in the original script of Die Hard. Here is another classic from Snakes on a Plane:
