  • Flipping the Script

    We flip the script today with Career Changers USA's Larry Feldman interviewing ME and asking me questions!

    Are you holding your vendors accountable? Are you inspecting what you should be expecting? Do you know how? Do you even have time? With the ever changing digital landscape, BZ Consultants Group is here to inspect what dealers should be expecting of their vendors, specifically their digital vendor partners. We are here to balance the scales, educate the dealer, and give back all that time the dealer would spend in meetings pouring over reports so that they can focus on the customer, customer experience, and staff development. We reside to differentiate between facts from feelings and protect the dealer by making their success our top goal.

  • Scar Tissue Going Against the Grain

    Football is in full swing, and I am back, baby! Today we are going to bring my pre-car world into the mix.

    We all have had our fair share of bumps, and bruises. There always seems to be that one cut that goes extra deep, that leaves a wicked scar we see each day in the mirror. Don’t get me wrong, I dig scars! What is scar tissue? How do we heal it? Our body lies down scar tissue or fibrous tissue to replace the damaged tissue. Cross Friction Massage is a technique that is used to help remove scar tissue and ensure full recovery. Like the name suggests, one is literally going against the grain of the tissue and it doesn't exactly tickle!

    The question is what do you see when you see when you look at that particular  scar? Do you cringe? Do you think to yourself, “I never want to repeat that again”? Are we taking the necessary steps to grow, even if it is painful? Are we letting past experiences dictate our future? Maybe we simply don’t want to put in the effort to heal and let more and more scar tissue be laid down, leading to wounds opening up again, and then neuropathic (nerve issues).

    Everyone has different wounds.  Everyone has different rehab times. Never stop striving to improve.

  • How To Advertise With Invisible Inventory

    With the dealership loyalty rates diminishing and the chip shortage continuing on for the foreseeable future, this is not the time to save a quick dollar and pull back on advertising. In fact, we’ll make the argument that it’s time to step on the gas. If you aren’t staying top of mind with the modern digital consumer appearing where they want to easily connect with you via Google, social media, or personal outreach (text/video), your local competition most likely is.

    It is one of the many great attributes of Steve and my guests on Facts Not Feelings to constantly ask “how may I help?” There are so many selfless humans that will assist at a drop of a hat. If I could caution, don’t be that guy/girl that only reaches out to someone that needs something. We all know that person that only calls when they need something from us. Selfish people don’t care about you, unless you are doing something for them. It is difficult to banish this scarlet letter of "taker" once it is pinned to your chest.

    Constantly strive to see how you may help others. Identify subtle nuances where you can step in and lend a helping hand to your colleagues. Look to not approach with an open hand but with open arms.

  • Just Do It

    It is officially Monday and the week is off and going. The first time I have had difficulty putting pen to ink...or fingers to keyboard. The words normally flow like wine. This got me thinking about how many times we let hesitation stand in the way of doing something. How many times do we have an awesome idea but fear stops us in our tracks? We may have all the knowledge in the world, but we can’t hit record? What is holding us back? Whether it is from hit record, picking up the phone, or sending your resume to the dream career you keep second guessing, just do it! Believe in yourself.   

    Today at 10 AM CST Join me, Ian, Jeff, and other brilliant minds on the #AutoHubShow Podcast as we discuss how to attract more customers with technology. We all know how much great technology is in our automotive space. The real question is how are dealers using all these tools to attract more customers?

  • Gregory Cooper: Phone Cups to Ai

    How many of us made cup phones as kids? They were awesome, right? Simple, pure, and all you needed was a string, paper cups, a pencil/needle to punch a hole through the cup, and paper clips. Then Ta-Da you had phones to chat with our buddies. My question to you all is how much better is communication in the automotive industry today than the cup phones we made as children? I know I lost some of the audience on that question. I can guarantee there are some of you out there saying “Brooke, we have cell phones, video calling, text messaging, CRMs, and all this technology. Of course it is better.” I would agree that the world has improved its technology, but that is not the question. The question is “how much better is communication in the automotive industry today?”

    Knowing how imperative communication is in any industry, it should be effortless. Do you find that it is indeed effortless for you, our employees, and our customers? Think of your last doctor or dentist appointment. Did you schedule it online, over the phone, or via text? Did the office send text reminders, automated phone reminders, or some email reminder? What about afterwards, what was the follow up? What happened if you needed to change/reschedule the appointment? Now think of your last automotive service or sales appointment. Was any of this done through text messaging? Was any of it automated? If you are at a store, did you manually have to input all of this? Did any of your “awesome” technologies actually talk to each other to make any of this a seamless process for anyone? Do I need to beat the drum again that this is the second biggest purchase made in a person’s life? Why the hell does the medical community have better Text/SMS offerings than automotive? Why is the appointment setting and confirmation process so damn archaic?

    I have been pleading with anyone that knows me for years to please come up with something to fix this issue. Gregory Cooper and SocialMiningAi not only heard me, but took it to a whole new level. On SocialMiningAi’s site, one of the first lines of text states “The most intelligent real-time customer search, discovery and engagement platform.” This is a super bold claim. Join me as I sit down with Gregory Cooper, Founder & CEO at SocialMiningAi, as we dive into why they can say this. Gregory and I will dive into the importance of having a real Social Presence and Reputation Management with a SMS Platform. Yes, you can have your cake and eat it, too! We will review how our industry needs to broaden their views on what best practices are when it comes to text/SMS in the automotive industry

  • Running Shoes, Cross Trainers, Basketball Shoes, and Trunners, Oh My!

    How many of you had “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus stuck in your head over the weekend after our chat with Kaylee? No shame if you downloaded and played that and “Party In The USA”  on max. Are you still equipping your team with tools from the 1800s and expecting them to keep up with the ever changing technology of 2022 and beyond? What are you doing better/different to support your Parts Department? How are you maximizing your Part’s Department potential?

    Connect with Kaylee: https://qrco.de/bdCGgv

    We talk about cross training so much that I venture it may be the new hot new buzzword. Let’s break down what this is & how it looks. About 12 years ago, I worked as a Consultant for a CRM software company. As part of our onboarding process, the company had us field Support Calls with the Support Team. It was the scariest couple hours of my life. Not only did it provide me with a newfound respect for our Support Team, but it also created instant friendships with them. They knew I wasn’t some hotshot consultant that was too good to work with them. When either party needed anything, we could now pick up the phone & call each other. To this day, any time I hear that stupid ringtone I literally cringe, & my heart starts racing!

    Golf, basketball, running, & cross trainers are all shoes designed for specific sports, movements, & purposes. Nike/Jordan Brand introduced the Trunner, a mix between a runner and a cross trainer, around 2000. Running shoes are made for straight forward movements, not lateral side-to-side movements. Cross Trainers are designed for lateral side-to-side movements. Using running shoes for dynamic side-to-side movement can cause tearing out of the side of your shoes and most likely your body. Ok up to speed.

    In 2000, I snagged my first pair of Jordan Trunners in Neptune Blue. Yes, I still have them. I remember thinking, “these are so light…I could run to Neptune!!” In 2001, the next year’s Trunner Bubbles were released and added to the collection. I busted them out at a pick up game. After a mean crossover that would have made Iverson jealous, and nailing the reverse layup that I had practiced a million times in my driveway, I came down to an audible *POP!* Bye bye ankle!

    I was under the impression I could play ball in these shoes. I was sorely mistaken. These Trunners were more like running shoes. If they would have been a tried and true Cross Trainer, that can be used just about anywhere, I would have been fine. That is the thing about Cross Trainers, they are versatile and adaptable. When you need to fine tune skills, then you bring the specific shoes: running shoes, basketball, golf, soccer, etc.

    We need to ensure our employees are versatile and adaptable to all areas of our business, but also have their fine tune skills in their specific area of expertise. Cross train, cross communicate, never stop talking, and never stop learning. Also, don’t wear running shoes when playing ball.

  • Kaylee Felio: Your Go To Parts Girl

    Today I sit down with Kaylee Felio, Sales & Marketing Manager at PartsEdge and Host of The Parts Girls Podcast.

    Kaylee has over a decade of experience in the industry, and a strong passion for helping Parts Managers and their operations to maximize potential profits. Initially working in the operations department, Kaylee developed a keen sense of day-to-day operational needs as well as gaps in resources and education. Combining her super powers together with her growth mindset and heart of service, Kaylee transitioned into spreading the word about PartsEdge while sharing her parts expertise with the industry at large.

    While she has been on the scene for over 10 years, she has come in like a wrecking ball (cue Miley Cyrus music video), with her name lit up in neon Broadway lights. As another female in the industry, may I just say I freaking love seeing you crush it?! It is awesome! She continues to kick ass and hold the most coveted title of “Mom.”


    Join us as we discuss an array of topics:

    - Does the industry truly know how much the Parts Department contributes to the overall Dealership Profits?

    - How we as an industry can support the Parts Department and Fixed Ops better

    - How stores can maximize their Parts Department potential
