After 20 years in the car business I have seen a lot come and go. When I started selling cars we did dealer trades on the ole' green screen computer. The fax machine was about as old as e-commerce is today. I have seen a lot of tips, tricks, tactics and techniques come and go. Never in the history of selling cars have we had so much opportunity the we could initiate for little or…

- Thanks Tim,
I have been fortunate enough to have been invited to present at Digital Dealer each time since it started in Nashville. I hope they continue to invite me as I find the show very benificial to all participants. We (Liquid Motors and myself) have made some incredible relationships at Digital Dealer and only hope they keep having us attend.

- Tim,
Thank you very much for coming to the KBB eNetwork Brunch in Chicago... It really means a lot to me, and is one of my main motivations for doing these types of events, when i see people like yourself, practitioners of all this digital selling stuff, take time away from the work you do to earn a living to attend an event that I am speaking at. For me, it is a reminder of the responsibility that I have to deliver information that you can act upon to increase your success and income. And YOU especially impress me with the fact that you somehow manage to get time away from the dealership to attend these events, Digital Dealer, KBB, etc. despite the fact that you probably should be delivering the presentations yourself! You are one of those people I see in this business who no matter how good you get, will always keep getting better... The only thing i believe that will ever stop you from getting better at what you do on a continuous basis, will be when you retire!
Anyways, keep on getting better at what you do and remember that you have access to me 24/7... I have not forgotten about our little side deal made at DD4, my friend!

Thanks for the presidential campaign hookup... Imagine what you could do with something like that for viral marketing a dealer!
