Dealership Discussions

My blogs

About me

Introduction I work with - but NOT as an active part of - automotive vendors. I've not been a car dealer, but I have been studying the business for a few years now and enjoy discussing the issues and opportunities.
Interests The car is more than transportation, and for many car dealers, selling cars and related products and services is much more than a vocation. Car dealers are passionate, street smart, great negotiators, and - more than ever - sophisticated business people. This blog is for discussing the evolving needs of car dealers. As the blog host, my twenty year career includes experiences ranging from the Fortune 25 to start-ups. No experience has been as interesting as the world of franchise car dealers. Franchise car dealers are a microcosm of the US economy. Their strength is being tested today as never before. And its leaders must make their businesses more competitive, ...quickly. This forum is a place to discuss ideas, tools, services, and other means for dealers reduce risk, simplify their lives, and make more money.
