If this doesn’t make you think about how your dealership does business, I don’t know what will.

News broke this week about a dealer and 9 of his employees that were indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy to commit wire fraud as a result of deceptive advertising, fraudulent sales practices, and falsely reporting sales to the manufacturer. Besides the…

Lately I have read several articles by some very competent people when it comes to Personal Branding and what you talk about and share online. And I agree with these people myself, up to a point.

In many parts of the country, it's been a scorching hot summer, but as temperatures heated up, so did the auto industry. Fewer days of blanking-clocking 12 hours of labor and not a single car sold to show for your team’s efforts, banks are loosening their noose of credit requirements and releasing their stronghold of LTV restrictions, and more qualified…

"God created the cosmos with a word, so imagine what a word from Him could do for

you today."

 

  

The psalmist say it best in Psalm 119:11... "Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You." The first stage of faith-creation is to get the Word in your heart, read it, hear it and meditate on it, so it is transformed from information to wisdom.

 

Secondly, rely on the Word... Psalm 119:105... "Your word is a lamp to my…

Have you heard the theory that no one is more than six degrees of separation away from Kevin Bacon? Well, itʼs a pretty decent party game (if youʼre at a party with no booze or music) and itʼs been banging around the Internet in one form or another for a decade now.

Michel de Montaigne... "We are masters of nothing but our will." 



This quote is so true! We are powerless to control the winds of life... circumstances, situations, other people and their attitudes; natural disasters, accidents and the unforeseen events that overtake us. Preparation can equip us and spiritual development can strengthen us for the unexpected, but only our inner-man can truly be under our…

There are plenty of opportunities to express faith:  because, obviously, life is replete with challenges and difficulties.

However, when we realize difficulties are simply part of the process (like plowing is part of the process of growing a…

When our oldest son was about three, my wife and I told him we would paint his room any color he wanted.  His top two choices were a medium blue and yellow.  Not just any yellow, but yellow like Play-Doh yellow.  He settled on the yellow.  Frankly, I couldn’t imagine that any of us would want to live with that color for too long and that I would end up repainting soon.  So I…

The ability to greet your online shoppers and walk them around your virtual showroom has proven to be an invaluable technology, driving more customers to physical dealerships and ultimately selling more cars.
