Chris: Knowing Lizelle Landino for a long period, I would suggest having her send to you a video to witness how gifted and passionate she is/could be for Dealer Elite's Women 'sector'. She, as you may know has years of dealership experience along with other skillsets, but can she convey a strong message when it comes to Women in our industry and the dealerships' considering ASAP providing more opportunities to ladies w/o patronizing them. She has equal delivery strength, in my opinion and others, to both Men and Ladies.

Please give me a call.
We have discovered a way to target the 1 1/2 to 2 % of your market area who are willing ready and able to purchase a vehicle. If your store qualifies we will invest approximatley $20,000 a month in your market. We are compensated on only the fresh business we generate. We DO NOT generate income from your phone, walk-in, or advertised customers. We can only do business with 1 dealer in most market places. Take some time to listen, it can't hurt.

Linked-In has been beta-testing some things and I am not really caring for it to well as of lately. The mere thought that a company would not want to be linked when this is obviously the fastest growing business and social networking website for automotive industry professionals is poposterous. Oh well folks like Ron White said: "You can't fix stupid". Here's my L-I address in case you would like to connect on DE. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bill-goodfriend-lion/10/61/4aa

WOW! So many people have asked me over the last few months about LinkedIn. I have personally called the owner and CEO of the Ning network practically begging them to integrate a link into their system, but to no avail. Nothing in the works that I know of, sorry everyone. -Mike (dE)

Is there a way to link your LinkdIn acct with dE? Also for those that have a blog, how can it be linked to dE.
Bobby Compton Comment by Bobby Compton on July 31, 2010 at 8:12pm
Congratulations to all the Participants! No matter what, you have all contributed tremendously to the Automotive Industry. Thanks to all, you have paved the way for others to follow in your foot steps - as Future Leaders, ,Entrepreneurs, Trainers, Coaches, Mentors, and Roll Models!

My input as to the next Poll and Contest:

Firstly, I think DE should categorize trainers specialties, allowing a trainer to enter into what he feels is his strength!

Secondly, Run a questions and answer scenario among those that participate, and let the questions be suggested by the masses who are not participating, but by those who are legitimately seeking solutions and answers.

Thirdly, to post all questions and answers at the end, allowing the Masses to vote and judge for them selves, on who's capable of contributing what.

Although this is still an advantage for some participants, as the answers will be known by some others, because the answers have been well promoted and already public information! I have 100% complete confidence that some new solutions will be discovered - Regardless!

Last but NOT least, who ever the winner is, gets the opportunity to buy the other participants Pizza and everybody should then collaborate as to why they answer the way they do!

A little friendly competition and the opportunity for New Blood to be discovered!

Instead of American Idol of Discovering the Super Stars:

Let it be Cars Idol -

Current and Future Stars of the Automotive Industry!

I love the Site DE. One Awesome Job. Thank You...

Thanks for the compliment Sandy-

AMEM!!!

Sandy - AMEN!!!

Cheers!
Sandy P. Cerami Comment by Sandy P. Cerami on July 30, 2010 at 9:09am
What we have here is too much of the ego-fest, which ultimately derides the dE desired culture of shared communication and collaboration. It is an unfortuntate, unintended byproduct of a nice concept, the polling. I have ENORMOUS respect for Jim (I consider him a personal friend and MONSTER influence on many people's success!), Grant (He's got ALL the tools!), and all of the people that are earnestly trying to improve the art/business of selling, but in the spirit of one of the most influential Professional Speakers and Personal Development Gurus in history, Cavett Robert, take his words to heart and cut the non-sense...It takes away from all of the great things accomplished by the Poll Candidates..."Don't worry about how we divide up the pie, there is enough for everybody. Let's just build a bigger pie!" Can I get an AMEN!!
dealerELITE Comment by dealerELITE on July 29, 2010 at 11:56pm
We have been watching this this thread very closely and take all comments here to heart. Although we cannot please everyone all the time, we can certainly listen to what the members want and deliver on that. That being said, we have come up with something we feel is going to be an exciting event for next month that should hit the mark with our member community, with no formal competition structure like in our polling. You, the members of dealerELITE has spoken, and dE has listened. Hang in there everyone and see what we have planned for August. We hope you will enjoy our next adventure!
Craig Lockerd Comment by Craig Lockerd on July 28, 2010 at 11:31pm
Agree 100% Bill
Bill Goodfriend Comment by Bill Goodfriend on July 27, 2010 at 7:53pm
Just a friendly suggestion, but it would be nice if DealerElite could add a LinkedIn tab to the import friends list. Like many of us, we have worked with so many people in the industry that it would take forever to enter email addresses one by one. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration and have a great evening.

Best Regards,
Bill Goodfriend
Bobby Compton Comment by Bobby Compton on July 27, 2010 at 6:02pm
I listen very closely to those that say I cant, its impossible, or attempts to put limits on me! I look for their underlining motives, insecurities, egotism, being root cause of statements or actions.
This gives me the upper hand on knowing how to deal with them better.

I love the NO Negativity Mr. Cardone... You D Man - Right ON

Cheers!
