Some people always bring the sermon.

Tim Cox is one of them. He is the co-founder of CarNow, and has so many thoughts for the automotive industry. But what’s special about Tim is that he is genuine all the time and you can hear his heart when he is speaking. Kyle Mountsier and Paul J Daly spend time talking about the history of CarNow, how someone on the team has to be right, integrity, and some things that are coming in 2023 that dealers need to be ready for.

What we talk about in this episode:
0:00 Intro with Michael Cirillo, Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier.

6:10 CarNow went the first 6 months without a URL and the first 7 years without any marketing personnel. Tim talks about how if you do the work and pour into the people around you, good things will happen.

10:25 With success can come an ego that says you’ll always be successful. Tim reminds us to be humble, and make sure that we aren’t riding on our past coattails.

13:52 Tim builds on the idea of humility by talking about integrity, and making sure you’re the same person no matter where you are or who you’re interacting with.

17:28 Right now, about 70% of people who buy online still want to go to the dealership. A lot of that is because the technology isn’t smooth yet. But that is changing, and Tim believes that in the next year, the online purchasing process will have a whole new look and feel.
