  • Shane Edwards - The Managers Perspective
    Welcome back to another episode of the Dealer Talk podcast! 
    Today we are talking to a very good friend of mine. I have known our guest for a very long time and have even consulted with him on the professional side of things. We had a raw and real conversation regarding the management perspective, and I am very excited to share it with all of you. 
    How does a manager see the business from desk principals, the landscape of the industry, and even the shift in generations working at the dealership as veterans of the industry leave and younger generations make their debut! This is going to be a very informative session so make sure you are ready to take some notes.

  • "El Patronn" - The Social Media GM
    Welcome back! During this conversation, we talk with "El Patronn" about his branding strategy and how social media has created an opportunity to connect with the masses in a very effective way.
    When it comes to creating a brand within a brand, we have never lived in better times. The social media platforms that exist really allow us to create a presence that has no borders. If done correctly, you can achieve this with little to no expense.  I personally don’t know of any other leader in the auto-retail side of the business that is more successful at this than “El Patronn,” which made it all the more incredible to be able to talk with him about his tactics, vision, and strategies.
    Make sure to take some notes! Then don’t forget to tune in next week when we have a conversation with Shane Edwards about the sales management perspective, specially now as we experience a shift in the industry of new professionals coming into the mix.

  • Chris "The Bulldog" Collins - The Service Drive Conversation

    Welcome back. In this episode, I have the absolute privilege of having a conversation with  Chris "The Bulldog" Collins about the service drive. I actually get to swap stories with this dude...INSANE!


    Chris is an total master in the industry, and he is bringing some knowledge bombs on this session! He talks about his roots, how he saw a gap in the industry when it came to training for the service side, and then we break down the question: are service advisers sales people?


    Make sure to tune-in for a great conversation! Then check out the information below on how you can access Chris's books, training programs, podcast (one of my favorites called “The Service Drive Revolution”), upcoming events and more.


    P.S. Will Erik be OK? Tune in to the next episode to see if he made it out. Then, in the same episode, we sit down with none other than “El Patron,” the managing partner of Brooklyn Mitsubishi. We will discuss the value of social media, and how to use it effectively to create a personal brand and generate results.

  • Bill Schomburg - Your Online Inventory (New Tech)
    WELCOME BACK! Season 3! Can you believe it? We’re very excited for this season and all the amazing people on the show, starting with the season opener.
    During this episode, we talk with Bill Schomburg about Lot Talk, a new approach to inventory listings. I am very excited to have this conversation because it is a topic I review often with my clients, and I think the industry is in need of a different approach. I personally believe that there is value in the conventional model because whether we like it or not, these sites do have an audience. If potential buyers are using these sites for information, then the dealer needs to be there. I also know that validation is key for consumers, so being listed almost becomes a necessity. 
    Check out the episode where we break it down. We look at the current state and discuss Lot Talk’s approach to the listing game.
    Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode, and stay tuned for Chris Collins, the Bulldog, next Tuesday the 8th!

  • Edward French - The Future of The Industry
    Join me and Erik as we sit down with no other than Edward French to talk about the industry. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. French in person at a conference back in 2015 and ever since then I have been a fan following his content on social media.
    During this episode we cover many aspects of the industry including the concept that Ed coins as Melting ICE which refers to how you should look at your  used car inventory.  We also spend some time discussing the future of the industry and we get Ed's perspective on some of the new technologies like Digital Retailing and the delivery concept where customers can get there vehicles delivered with no physical interaction at the Dealership. 
    I could not think of a better way to end this season then with this amazing conversation and having someone of Ed's background on the show to give us his insights and just talk openly on where he sees the future and most importantly what we can do to stay ahead of the curve!
