Lafayette, CO (PRWEB) April 04, 2012 - KPA’s Respiratory Protection Course has undergone a complete redesign so that collision centers, body shops, and dealerships go beyond meeting OSHA’s classroom training requirements, to increase the frequency of workers properly wearing respiratory protection on the job.

KPA’s Online Respiratory Protection Course fulfills OSHA’s annual classroom-training requirement for respiratory protection. The course covers how to select, wear, and maintain…

Like it or not, sowing and reaping is a real principle we all live by. Everybody on earth, every profession is under the law of sowing and reaping. The law of sowing a reaping can be either good or bad. For example, take the high school student who maintains a high GPA- staying up late at night in order to complete assignments and prepare for tests; that…

It’s not an accident that great sports teams are ‘great teams’. They are consistent in their play and standings year after year. Take for example, the New England Patriots, the New York Yankees, or even the Dallas Mavs.

It’s not an accident either that great companies are ‘great companies’. They too are consistent in their product and performance year after year. In this case, let’s look at Apple, PepsiCo, or Starbucks.

These companies, teams and brands are always looking for…

A dog and a cat were recently having a conversation about how each other looks at the world.

They had been friends a long time and the dog had recently been promoted to the title of Service Manager of his Dealership. The cat had stopped by for a visit and to congratulate her friend on his recent promotion. And, as Managers are prone to do, they began to discuss how each run…

Service customers at auto dealerships are intensely loyal -- but are older and spend less than customers of independent shops and chains, according to a recent survey.

So dealers must win converts with online promotions and prepaid programs, said Mike Martinez, chief marketer at DMEautomotive, the marketing firm that commissioned the survey.

Dealer loyalists, defined as those who spend the bulk of their service dollars at the dealership, are more than twice as likely to be 55…

Last week a call came in from Lead Bid, Inc. after being re-directed to me from one of my dealer clients.  The sales professional on the other end of the line attempted to sell their service for providing third party leads  The offer was similar to the famous travel website, www.priceline.com.  You name your own price for third party leads.  

On the call, we walked through their website to educate me on how easy it is to adjust the price per…

Over the weekend, I was sifting through boxes and boxes of dealership "stuff" in preparation for my presentation at the Automotive Super Conference in June.  I came across notes from a "Kick-off" Department Head Meeting I conducted in 1997, in the spirit of Jack Dawson's famous speech in the movie Titanic.  I thought this was pretty remarkable as the remake is soon to be released in 3-D.  I scanned over my notes and chuckled..."Some things are still so relevant…

Todays Turbo Charged Dealer World Blog is a core training element that should be visited over and over again.  Probably something we all know, but just great to keep in the "top of mind" awareness section of the brain.

It's not necessary for most dealers to have a complete understanding of the art and science surrounding automotive SEO. What is important is realizing that whether you're doing it yourself, working together with a partner vendor, or having the vendor do all the work, your overall search (and social) strategy should be intimately tied in together to make sure you're getting the most out of…

It seems hard to fathom that a person can drown in just over an inch of water. Once the lungs are blocked and the brain is starved of oxygen, cerebral hypoxia kicks in making a person delirious eventually succumbing to death-a great tragedy can occur from something as small as the length of your fingernail. Similarly, salespeople are drowning in a puddle of…
