    Over my 30 years in the auto and RV industries, I have developed easy-to-use compliance solutions that demonstrate on-going efforts by dealerships to effectively comply with federal, state and local industry regulations. I can:

     Reduce Your Personal Liability
     Monitor Reputation and Create Online Responses to Digital Customer Complaints
     Mitigate Your Exposure to Lawsuits and Regulatory Issues
     Examine and Audit Monthly Advertising to Forestall Deceptive Acts Claims
     Inspect Deal Jackets to “Catch and Kill” Irregular Business Practices
     Analyze Operations to Prevent Problems Before They Happen
     Conduct Bi-Weekly or Monthly Staff Zoom Trainings on Best Compliance Practices
     Resolve Lawsuits and Regulatory Disputes and Negotiate with Difficult or Unreasonable Customers and Plaintiff Lawyers
     Create, Write, or Update Employee Handbooks and Guidebooks

    There are so many compliance laws that it is virtually impossible for the average dealership to be in full compliance. Lack of compliance comes to you in three forms: regulatory agencies, two-legged problems like customers and employees, and media challenges such as deceptive advertising claims or bad social media reviews. I can help you with these issues.

    I have resolved complaints with regulatory agencies such as the IRS, EEOC, CFPB, Attorneys General and the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, to name a few.

    During my career, I’ve successfully concluded nearly 1,000 customer and employee complaints / lawsuits for the #1 Chevrolet dealership in Virginia. As an innovative expert in dealership dispute resolution, my unique results-driven methods bring fast conclusion—98% of the time without going to court. It’s all about getting back to business, lowering risk…and protecting assets to enhance profitability.

  • Cyber War - Is Your Dealership Safe?

    The cyber security of your dealership is at risk every signgle second of every single day! 

    This is a business and they take it seriously! 

    Ted Clouser is an expert on cyber security and this episode will help you understand some of the threats and what can be done about them.

     

    #Technology has been my platform of choice since the mid 90s. Cybersecurity is more of a threat than ever and raising awareness is one of my passions. I help you rest easier by teaching how to keep your technology secured, available and efficient. I have been blessed with great teammates, loyal clients and an opportunity to care for others - another passion.

    I post daily content and it's based on how I feel that day or what I have going on. Consider it like a daily journal of my thoughts. I will typically post first thing in the morning and I'll engage with others throughout the day as time permits.

    Work 🚘 👩🏼‍💻
    I have the best job! I get to spend most of my time talking to rockstar dealerships who are forward thinkers and looking to do better. The auto industry is resilient and I love being a part of it.

    If you want to hear more about the work stuff, call me anytime at 619-820-8189, or email me at [email protected].

    About me 🤷🏼‍♀️
    I am a mommy of an amazing little girl who is full of energy and who wants to do everything herself 😬 I never knew becoming a parent would challenge and teach me sooo much.

    My friends and family would say that I’m always looking to try new things. I’ve always been really good at getting myself out of my comfort zone. It’s terrifying and fun at the same time 😆

    When I’m not working or doing any of the other things above you can find me practicing hot yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️ or listening to my favorite podcasts while walking my dog. I also love spending time with my family outdoors; camping, hiking, kayaking and off-roading. We LOVE being outside ❤️🏕

    LinkedIn has been such a fun way to build relationships and learn more about what everyone is doing.

    Don’t be shy 🙈
