Like many small, hometown dealerships Matt Saxe Chevrolet in Belle Plaine, MN, he has a wall dedicated to the pictures of the dealership over the last century! I love looking back at the old pictures, seeing how the towns have changed, the people in the pictures, the pride of the local car dealer... but one picture in particular caught my eye. The date on the picture was August 1959. It showed the dealership proudly displaying 8 beautiful Chevrolets outside and a large sign that said…

Oh yes. That scary world of social media. How do I do it? Seems like free advertising.... hmmm. I can just set it up and let it go, right?

This associated behavior is known as “classical conditioning,” and the parallel between the doghouse and the dealership cannot be clearer. Obviously, the incoming…
