Don't know about all of you dE peeps out there, but I've been busy with getting the kids ready for school, wrapping up summer, and getting ready for a big month in September! OH! Did I mention DealerELITE headquarters had the Natural Disaster Trifecta last week...? Earthquake, hurricane, and tornadoes. Like many of you, DealerELITE is preparing for a great September with some new stuff coming (so long as we don't have anymore poo poo weather).

Did you read Tony's article in AutoSuccess Magazine last month? Guess what... we did it again, AS PROMISED!! You will see the September dE blogger be featured in next month's issue. (Thx Susan!!)

Our relationship with AS magazine is a result of DealerELITE itself. Just like many of you who have found new connections to car people, we have too. It's easy to forget what a vast network dE has become to find so many professional car people. Next time you're on dE, use the SEARCH at the top right of the screen and type in your company, your competitor's company, manufacturers, dealer groups, vendors, famous car guys and girls, etc. We think you'll be surprised who you'll find here.

This month, let's all connect and network with one another. Commit yourself to "friend" 1 person everyday. You just never know who on dE may have the power and knowledge to change your business and life for the better. Make September an awesome month dE!
