Welcome back to another session of the Dealer Talk Podcast! In this session, we have a conversation with our resident guest, Sean Kelley #thecarbizcoach, about coaching. It’s crazy that Sean has been with us for every season of the podcast, and we have not covered coaching at length. There are a lot of insights in this episode that truly speak to one of the most critical areas we face in our industry, which is that of acquiring knowledge and skills that will allow us to become true professionals. I am excited to cover this topic because I have had the pleasure of being coached by this amazing individual, so I know firsthand the impact. More importantly, I believe that in order for us to grow in any capacity, we need to have the knowledge and skills that we don’t possess. That is what coaching can provide.

Welcome back to another episode!

The most valuable assets for any dealership are their DMS and CRM. Especially during these difficult times, having an efficient strategy to ensure that you are communicating effectively and consistently with consumers is the difference between selling more units or not.

I have always advocated with my dealer clients that leveraging their own database should be the focus of how they conduct business versus only new customer acquisition, which according to NADA means $500 to $600 in added cost.

I am very excited to share this session because the information provided is truly how we need to start thinking about our operations going forward.

Welcome to Dealer Talk, where we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of search engine marketing (SEM). For years, SEM has stood as a stalwart method to capture consumer intent, defining our ability to seize consumers' interest and amplify visibility on search engine result pages.

SEM operates on a pay-to-play basis, unlike Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which gradually ascents and strategically aims for higher organic rankings over time. Think of SEO as the marathon, diligently laying the groundwork for future visibility and credibility, while SEM represents the sprint designed for immediate visibility and results.

Understanding this distinction is vital for our clients. SEO sets the stage for long-term success, while SEM provides the necessary boost for instant visibility. As consumers embark on their purchasing journey or seek vehicle service options, platforms like Google, Bing, and Yahoo become pivotal in their decision-making process.

Do you ever experience FOMO? That is, the fear of missing out on something? In this episode we explore the idea of FOMO with Automotive Marketing Pros Mike Columbus, Jonathan Dawson, Ryan Gerardi, Cameron Moore, and myself in a discussion about the new audio drop-in app Clubhouse.

Clubhouse is an audio-based social media app. The company describes itself as “a new type of social product based on voice [that] allows people everywhere to talk, tell stories, develop ideas, deepen friendships, and meet interesting new people around the world.”

The app has now gone viral in the automotive community, at least among iPhone users because Clubhouse is only available on iOS. That is expected to change soon.

The original discussion was streamed live last month on the Mobility Tech & Connectivity Show.

This episode was produced by Ryan Gerardi from AutoBurst Media who also produces the AutoConverse Podcast. Ryan guides you in this episode through the discussion, letting you hear from each panelist what their experience with Clubhouse has been like, and how they see utilizing it in the time to come.

There is a general consensus that the app offers a much-needed change in the way we connect in our industry.

Paul Sansone Jr. has been an auto dealer since our host was 3 years old. In that time, he has grown his resume to include 5 dealerships in the New Jersey area. Paul recently won the Driving Sales Best Idea Contest for his incredible concept of subprime leasing. The Dealer Controlled Leasing program focuses on short-term leases 12-48 months long. It is a dealer-owned leasing product, and dealers are in control of their decisions.

Join us as he unfolds why he chose to focus his attention on helping those around him because, as he says: “Life happens to everyone.”

 Join Erik and myself for this episode with the one and only, Mr. Rock Star himself, Sean Welsh were we talk about the Trade-In process in the digital landscape we have today. How much has the trade-in process changed? Are the digital tools available today helping dealers close the gap and build trust with consumers or are they enhancing the issues that exist with this process? Also we talk about the value and how the leads are moved through the funnel.  This is a great conversation with some thought provoking insights from our guest who NEVER disappoints and always brings relevant takeaways.  The trade-in is one of those areas that I personally find is at an interesting place in today’s market were the old processes are no longer applicable because of the fact that we are in an efficient marketplace but the technologies available to help with transparency are not fully up to par with purchasing behaviors and so I am glad to have this opportunity to TALK about it and attempt to add some value to you the listeners.  If you already have not had a chance to meet Sean and consume his content you need to get on that ASAP as you will definitely be in for a treat!  Here is how you can connect with Sean:  LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/seanwelshcbdb   Website:  carbizdonebetter.com    Mobile:  262-278-0157  Email:  carbizdonebetter@gmail.com  Twitter: cbizdonebetter Checkout Sean’s Podcast, "5 Minutes With Sean":   https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYe6i7BhaLs7oGwoyHKiFCQTWBVmv2ABz  Also, don’t forget to check us out at our website and on the following  platforms:  Website: www.dealertalk.biz   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dealertalk/  Instagram : @dealertalk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFzze5QDo48HAS2K1kc83Tg?view_as=subscriber  twitter: @talkdealer  Thank you for tuning in and as usual we will TALK later!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dealer-talk/support

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!

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! Please, if you liked this episode, be sure to share it, and share this podcast with people that can benefit from the information so they can implement it in their day-to-day!

Join Erik and Herb for this very special Season 1 recap! Thank you ALL for your support and your feedback. This Season flew by!

Join Erik and myself on this process oriented conversation. Our guest, Robert Sebestyen truly delivers a ton of valuable insights on this topic and brings a fresh perspective to some of the ways that processes can bring both the sales and service side of the house together to deliver a better experience to the buyers and owners!  One of my favorite quotes by W. Edward Deming, says that if you cannot describe what you’re doing as a process you don’t know what you’re doing and I really believe in that. When you consider what goes on in the dealership from selling to servicing a vehicle after the fact, having a set road map on how to get from point A to point B is crucial to offering consistency and building a true differentiator in your market.  During this session we uncover the value of having a process even if it’s not a good one versus not having one at all or as we debate thinking that you don’t have one, because whether you think you do or don’t a choice is always being made.  Make sure to tune in and uncover some of the nuggets on this deal…  Here is how you can get in touch with Robert:  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/robert-sebestyen-81a539119   Email: robert@gravitationalbusiness.com  Twitter: juliussewclean  Phone (843)345-6172 Website: gravitationalbusiness.com    Also, don’t forget to check us out at our website and on the following  platforms:  Website: www.dealertalk.biz   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dealertalk/  Instagram : @dealertalk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFzze5QDo48HAS2K1kc83Tg?view_as=subscriber  twitter: @talkdealer  Thank you for tuning in and as usual we will TALK later!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dealer-talk/support

Welcome back to another episode! 

In this session, I have a conversation with Marc Lavoie from the Autobahn Academy about digital retailing and how to make sure we can effectively implement it now that it has become a must offering for potential buyers. 

When it comes to offering purchasing alternatives to buyers, it is not an "if you build it, he will come" approach. Customers need information on what you are providing through specific strategies that will clearly convey the expectation of the available options.

Also, it is important that during this time we make sure we create messages that will translate beyond the temporary situation and will still be relevant beyond the current state. 

Marc has offered a 20% discount for dealers who are looking for an edge to leverage information in order to increase performance in all areas of their operation! https://go.autobahnacademy.com/dealer-talk

Welcome to the Dealer Talk Podcast, where we delve into the essence of marketing and unravel its mysteries. In this episode, we ask the fundamental question: What is marketing?

For many, marketing is the quintessential "how" – the strategic roadmap guiding us to influence consumer behavior. It's about understanding the intricate dance between businesses and their target audience. Yet, in our exploration, we've noticed a curious trend: the proliferation of subsets like promotion, advertising, and more, often overshadowing the essence of proper marketing.

Join us as we uncover the misconceptions surrounding marketing and its subsets. We believe that real marketing transcends mere tactics; it's about intentionality. It's about crafting a narrative that not only shields us against the tides of innovation and competition but also ensures our perpetual relevance in the minds of consumers.

Tune in as we navigate the marketing labyrinth, seeking clarity amidst the chaos. It's time to redefine our perceptions and embrace the power of intentional marketing.

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!  Here is how you can connect with Ed:  LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/edward-french-a913a18  Email: autoprofitllc@gmail.com  Mobile:  812-327-2006   Website:  autoprofitllc.com    Also, don’t forget to check us out at our website and on the following  platforms:  Website: www.dealertalk.biz   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dealertalk/  Instagram : @dealertalk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFzze5QDo48HAS2K1kc83Tg?view_as=subscriber  twitter: @talkdealer     Thank you for tuning in and as usual we will TALK later!     --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dealer-talk/support

Welcome back! 

In this special session, we talk to the writers and producers of the movie SUCKER$ 

If you have watched this movie in training sessions or even just to get some laughs you want to tune in to this interview to learn some of the behind the scenes and more! 

BIOS:

Roger Nygard is probably most notorious for his documentary TREKKIES. Nygard's prior documentaries also include the recently-restored, SIX DAYS IN ROSWELL, as well as THE NATURE OF EXISTENCE, and his latest, THE TRUTH ABOUT MARRIAGE. Nygard has directed series like “The Office” and “The Bernie Mac Show” and edited Emmy-nominated episodes of “VEEP,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and “Who Is America?” He is currently editing Mike Binder's Showtime docu-series about The Comedy Store.

Joe Yannetty is an award-winning writer, comedian, motivational speaker, and cancer survivor - and of those, surviving comedy is the hardest! His funny point of view was forged within the world’s greatest comedy scene in Boston, Massachusetts. He has performed on stages all over the world, and in TV and film, but when he took two years off to stay home for the birth of his daughter, he took a job selling cars. That experience became the basis for the infamous, yet highly-acclaimed, movie about his life in sales, SUCKERS.

Welcome back to another episode!

When it comes to marketing within your dealership, what is providing you the most ROI? For me, marketing is all about where I can get the most frequency at the least amount of spend. One of the ways that you can achieve this is by having an effective referral program that can provide buyers that are ready to transact because they have been sent over to your dealerships by people that have vouched on your behalf.

In this session, we talk to Revferral, our second vendor of the season, that we have invited to come on the show to talk about what they offer and how it can help you gain an advantage.

I love that car guys for the auto industry created this tool, and it is one, if not the most, complete D.R. tool I have seen.

If you are in the market for a D.R. partner, someone who gets it and knows the day-to-day operation of running a dealer and making deals happen, you need to check this out.

Time Highlights:

4:35 The current landscape from a leadership perspective

10:25 Is digital retail ready for the masses

22:34 Are O.E.M.'s getting in the middle of the deal with D.R.

29:41 How Web Buy baking feature mimics what a finance manager does during the day

43:33 What are the deficiencies of Web Buy as a D.R. tool

During this episode Erik and myself have a conversation with Owen Moon founder of Dealer Accelerator and Fixed Ops Digital where we try to uncover some of the best strategies for 2019.   The conversation took a turn to the Fixed Ops side of the house and I think for good reason. Service is quickly becoming a differentiator when it comes to generating not just revenue but also sales as well as creating a long term success strategy for your Dealership and so naturally we spent a lot of time talking about some of the ways that you can leverage that in the new year.   This is  a great conversation that covers some of the issues that exist today when it comes to marketing strategies and creating a balance between the front of the house and the service side.  Our guest, Mr. Owen Moon brings tons of insights on this topic as well as some of the strategies that he sees are working to get the most conversion from potential buyers and owners by delivering a better online experience!  This was a great conversation and very EXCITED to share this episode.  Here is how you can get in touch with Owen  LinkedIn:  linkedin.com/in/owen-moon  Websites:   FixedOpsDigital.com   Mobile:  605.376.0195  Email:   Owen@FixedOpsDigital.com.   Also, don’t forget to check us out at our website and on the following  platforms:  Website: www.dealertalk.biz   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dealertalk/  Instagram : @dealertalk YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFzze5QDo48HAS2K1kc83Tg?view_as=subscriber  twitter: @talkdealer  Thank you for tuning in and as usual we will TALK later!  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dealer-talk/support
