Houston, Texas, April 30, 2012, CAR-Research XRM,  a single-source CRM solution uniquely branded as; “XRM, Exceeding CRM”, today announced that President and COO, Patrick Kelly,  will be a featured speaker at the 3^rd Annual Automotive Boot Camp, to be held in Las Vegas, NV, at the Monte Carlo hotel, May 15-17th, 2012. Kelly’s speech, titled “Lombardi, Landry, and Wooden…Great Coaches, Great Managers”, will offer attendees clues to how these great coaches would manage a dealership team in today’s economic environment, including many new tips on how to increase sales with 60 percent closing percentages instead of the average 18 percent that many dealerships accept.

Kelly will give a hands-on presentation that will detail the steps necessary to pattern any dealership management team after the greatest coaches that ever lived, and why these tools will transform that team into a championship level competitor. The presentation will teach dealers how to:

1. Identify and implement the basic processes that were used by the greatest coaches of all time, which must be put into place before any sales organization will be able to transform from mediocrity to greatness. How not to settle for ‘best of the worst’ or ‘worst of the best’ and truly put any team on the path to greatness.
2. How to create a culture of process and accountability in a dealership, and get buy in from  staff to ‘want’ to create this culture, because they cannot imagine going back to doing business the way they used to.
3. How to create 60 percent closing percentages instead of the average 18 percent that many dealerships accept.
4. How to teach any sales person to become their own marketing director, and why business development from within is so vital in the success formula in today’s automotive environment.

Kelly will also jointly present a session with Ralph Paglia titled “How to Best Train Your Staff and How to Know When You Have It Right”.

Patrick Kelly is a 32 year veteran in the auto business. He started his career selling cars in Texas in 1979. He worked his way up to director of finance for Sterling McCall Toyota, the second largest Toyota dealership in the US at the time. Kelly was hired as a district manager for Gulf States Toyota Financial Services (GSFS) and from there moved on to become a general manager for various dealer groups for 14 years. Kelly is currently President and COO of CAR-Research, and devotes a great deal of time as a motivational speaker throughout the US and Canada to automobile dealers and groups.

Free webinar April 26th at 2pm EDT; provides key strategies for battling market share loss to aftermarket chains and for growing customer loyalty

Daytona Beach, FL– April 20, 2012 – DMEautomotive (DMEa), the science-inspired, results-based automotive marketing leader, joins with WardsAuto to host a free webinar on April 26^th at 2pm EDT.

Moderated by WardsAuto Editor Steve Finlay, the webinar features Mark Conner, Lithia Motors Assistant V.P. of Marketing, and Mike Martinez, DMEa’s Chief Marketing Officer. 

“Service is now 47% of the average dealer's profits, but only 23% of dealer service customers are loyal -- and Aftermarket chains are reaping the majority of lost dealership service business,” said Martinez.  “The WardsAuto Dealer Service Customer Loyalty webinar will provide dealerships with actionable strategies to turn these straying customers into loyal customers.  It will also reveal key data about service customers that will help dealerships better – and more cost-effectively - target their service marketing.”

The Changing Service Loyalty Landscape white paper analyzes the decision-making process behind service center selection; consumer loyalty rates and demographics, and industry share-of-wallet realities for dealerships, independents and aftermarket chains. Marketing Success in a Changing Service Loyalty Landscape, analyzes shoppers’ communications preferences (by frequency, platform, and service outlet type), providing service businesses with outreach strategies that can better retain the “loyals,” while converting more of the “swing shoppers” and disloyalists.

A discussion at NADA led the Digital Dealership System to consider an opportunity in custom digital signage that was originally not considered - XTIME Signage.

XTIME (as with Time Highway) offers the service department a way for customers to visually see who is working on their car, how long it has been in service and approximate the total amount of waiting time.

XTIME includes a system that can display this content on a monitor and even supports a ticker and marketing. One thought from the corporate office was that customers were already using this system and our developmental energy should be focused elsewhere. Until NADA 2012.

Several XTIME customers approached the Digital Dealership System booth looking for a solution to show XTIME that had more functionality and "looked better" then the canned system offered by XTIME. They also wanted to add their own look and feel to the system, incorporating news tickers and our other offerings.

Several systems were developed and installed, both horizontal and vertical, with the flexibility of the standard systems, integrating with XTIME (and Time Highway). Now, customers have a complete HD Experience with their content in a simple solution that works simply by connecting the media player to the TV. At their leisure the customer can go in and update the system to show current specials and update the ticker message.

The horizontal screen is programmed to show the XTIME for 2 minutes and then rotate through 2 - 15 second service ads and then back. The value of the system is the focus that customers have on it, constantly looking for updates like a second hand counting down. (timing and ad numbers can be adjusted per individual install)

The marketing on the screen can take advantage of the attention the screen gets by directly speaking to customers -- ie. "While you're waiting on your car to get services, check out our new car inventory" or "If you came in for an oil change, how would you like to save 50% on future oil changes - ask us how"

The vertical system is ideal for showing a variety of content, including XTIME, Marketing, Car Information and Ticker. This system can even rotate between the show setup above and a full page Menu Board. The possibilities are endless due to the real estate that can be utilized.

The Digital Dealership System is setup to meet the needs of our customers. Sometimes, we don't know the needs until they tell us. Now, as we roll out more and more XTIME / Time Highway Systems across the country, customers will understand the benefits of the product and utilizing a simple, custom setup and interface in full HD.

The Digital Dealership System is a complete signage solution. Visit our website for a comprehensive list of offerings including live signs of our product, features and images / videos of installs.

The Digital Dealership System offers customized Digital Signage solutions for the Automotive Industry. Headquartered in West Palm Beach, FL and founded in 2008, Digital Dealership System, INC offers a digital internal marketing solution for dealerships. Contact: press@ddsmail.co
