FILL THE HOLES - If your dealership has implemented a digital retailing technology on your website or plans to start soon, then take a minute to listen and learn. I'm sharing five actionable insights on how to accelerate the success of ANY digital retailing platform. Listen and share this podcast with your peers and I welcome your feedback.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Nathan Hecht, CEO and Founder of Rodo to discuss their mobile app technology that promises to simplify the car buying process. Learn about their strategy and how their approach differs from digital retailing tools on dealership websites.

I had the pleasure to sit down with Tom Ryan, co-founder of the Ryan Adams Group. Their company are the leading experts in helping dealers transform their sales process to one price and one point of contact. Could the COVID-19 crisis push more dealers to reconsider their sales processes to be faster, easier, more profitable and consumer friendly? Invest your time to listen in on this very important conversation. 

I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Haeg, Vice President at CarWars, to discuss remote workforce operations and how dealers can continue to improve phone processes.  Showrooms may be closed or operating on limited schedules due to the Coronavirus but now more than ever, our phone skills and strategy are critical for continued growth in retail sales. 

I had the opportunity to sit down with Owen Moon, CEO of Fixed Ops Digital to discuss immediate opportunities for dealers to attract more local service business.  This is a timely conversation as dealers seek to leverage the service drive to increase sales opportunities. Since most dealers do not have advanced digital marketing strategies in place, there is a huge upside to increase service revenue.  

I had the pleasure to sit down with John Berna, founder of Driven Data to discuss his platform which helps dealers manage and leverage their first-party data to make better marketing decisions. By combining DMS, CRM, and Website engagement data, Driven-Data provides unique insights that power more effective Google Ads and Facebook marketing campaigns. 

I had the pleasure to sit down with Todd Caputo, President of the Sun Auto Group in New York. We discussed his decision in April 2018 to completely overhaul how he sold cars. A second generation car dealer, Todd now boasts a one-price, single point of contact sales process, with transparent pricing online that matches the in-store pricing. Learn about his journey as he celebrates his 15th month of serving consumers under this modern retail mindset. 

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay Dettling, CEO of Ansira, who recently acquired the Digital Marketing Division of CDK Global. Jay shared why Ansira considered CDK Global's digital assets a perfect fit for Ansira and what the future holds for both companies. Take a few minutes and join us for this lively conversation that will also be very educational for many dealers who are on the CDK website platform. Congrats to Jen Cole and her team with this new partnership.

I sat down with Jasen Rice, Founder of Lotpop, to discuss how dealers can grow profitability in a shrinking margin world. While dealers know that increasing turn rates can increase profits, few dealers are happy with their existing merchandising and sales strategy. Dealers who want a path toward greater profitability should listen to this podcast. 

I sat down with Jen Cole, SVP at CDK Global who heads ups their Digital Marketing Business to discuss their announcement this week. Ansira Partners has signed a definitive agreement to purchase the Digital Marketing Business from CDK. Dealers want to know what is next for the business unit. Join me and Jen Cole as we discuss the future. Stay tuned, as I will also be interviewing senior executives from Ansira in the coming days!
