There are a million ways to market your business thanks to the internet and it's pretty hard to sort through all of the advertising messages and find the right medium for your business.
Often times, we use the 'trial and error' method to figure out what type of advertising is really going to be beneficial but let's face it, years of trial and error means a ton of money being spent on things that don't work and it begins to feel like just when we find our perfect…

If you put 50 salespeople in a room, we could go on for hours sharing stories of the worst customers we’ve ever encountered. These stories range from the cheapskate multi-millionaire, you know, the guy who owns half the town, yet blew out because he had to pay the Doc Fee, to the customer who brought his 3rd cousin-twice removed…

Found this post on one of my social media news feeds one afternoon. "Two hundred inactive FB 'friends' going today so I can make room for those that want to play here. SeeYa.' This statement was posted by someone I consider a fairly savvy promoter, especially in social media, for a highly visible organization. Of course,…

When the topic of SEO comes up, many people envision HTML code and meta tag adjustments. They think of keyword stuffing. They consider the bounds set by the OEM of what they can and cannot do with their websites and how far they can push the boundaries to extend their market reach.
They don't usually imagine finding…

One evolutionary reason for magical thinking is just our tendency to see patterns in the world and to read meaning into them. We’re so good at it that we often read meaning into patterns that really isn’t’ there. So we see faces in the clouds or we hear messages in records played backwards. We tend to see connections between our thoughts and things outside in the world and see correlation and even causation there. So for instance, if you think…

I was amazed to learn that, during the research phase, customers spend 17 to 19 hours, on the internet, before visiting a dealership. Much of that involves vehicle comparisons but anyone is naive if they don't think that price is a chief consideration.
