Karen Bradley, CEO of Dealer Synergy, was featured on the Autobytel Training Series Webinar April 18th, 2017. Karen is a certified FranklinCovey Trainer and Facilitator as she trains dealerships across the country.

There is a reason why “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” curriculum, written by the late Stephen R. Covey, is taught to over 65% of all Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 corporations. Additionally, there are over 6 Million people globally trained on the the “7 Habits”, with over 35 million book copies sold worldwide, making it the #1 non-fiction book of all time. The “7 Habits” focuses on time management, leadership, organization, communication and teaches you how to truly achieve Work / Life balance. I have spent a lot of time in dealerships and teaching this course and I cannot tell you how often I hear people say that they never have any time left over for themselves. They are used to putting themselves last. Their health has even suffered!! They eat poorly...if they eat at all and there is definitely no time for physical fitness. They work super long hours, have kids to be a parent to and even spending time with their families is difficult to accomplish. And friends? What are those?? I promise you that there is a better way. A way where you can achieve it all! Time to work and achieve objectives. Quality time for your kids. Time for your friends and especially, time for yourself! It all boils down to being effective!

If you work in a dealership, you know how chaotic it can be. Often times, it is difficult to distinguish the priorities from all of the noise. You invest 8, 10, even 12 hours of your day only to leave feeling like you got nothing accomplished. Also, it’s no secret there is a serious problem in the automotive industry with attrition! Our industry is plagued with mediocrity. You see it on the Showroom sales floor, in F&I, in Service, in the Internet Sales Dept and BDC… it’s everywhere! And if you are NOT in the automotive Industry...I’m sure you can still relate!! And this webinar is for you too! If you want to learn how to do more, be more and achieve more, you need to understand the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and how they can literally transform your LIFE! Register today and be well on your way to personal and professional effectiveness!

Almost every single person goes online before they step foot into the dealership. The highest closing ratio and the highest gross profit are from leads to the dealership website or from organic search engine optimization. So, a dealership should focus on how to DOMINATE organic search engine optimization. It is not enough to merely show up on the first page of Google when someone types in your dealership name. You must show up numerous times on the first page of Google. Not just for your dealership's name but for any and all of your profit centers. New Cars, Used Cars, Fixed Operations. You should even show up on the first page of Google when someone is searching for your competition. Whether it is your same brand or a competing brand. 

In this webinar you will learn how to crush your competition online by creating a powerful VSEO strategy for yourself and or your dealership. We will go over successful LIVE examples as well as detail how you can create and implement immediately after the webinar

There has been a lot more talk over the last several months about mobile. It has transitioned from a "check box" item where dealers ask their vendors the simple yes or no question, "Do you have mobile sites in your package?" Today, the questions are more along the lines of, "What makes your mobile websites better than my competitors'?"

That, at least, should be the question.

The world is going mobile. There is zero doubt that mobile is growing exponentially and the activities that many people perform on a daily basis are transitioning to mobile. When people watch television, they often have a mobile device at the ready. They talk about their favorite shows while they watch them. They curse at the cornerback who just intercepted their team's pass by posting their anger on Twitter or Facebook. They check out websites of things they see on television.

When your television commercial reaches someone who is in the market today to buy a car, do you think they're getting up and going to the computer? Some do. Some just grab their iPhone and check out your inventory from there. What will they find?

Last month our founder and VP of Internet Marketing Richard Valenta did a webinar called "5 Mobile Must Haves." The fifth component is about decisions rather than actual mobile websites, but here's a quick breakdown of the takeaways from the webinar:

1. Speed is Absolutely the Most Important Thing. Period

Nobody like to wait. Some of us have grown a little more patience in the last couple of years as we know that internet connections are slower through mobile devices, but we still want a site to respond quickly.

Mobile sites MUST load quickly. Inventory must load quickly. The site must flow properly and not skip a beat. This is the number one reason why we're still skeptical about adaptive website design. We know it's the future. It just doesn't work today for dealers on mobile devices because of the speed factor. The technology simply isn't ready for this industry.

Speed can help. Lack of speed can kill.

2. Easy Navigation

This should be a no-brainer. It's intuitively understood that the ability to quickly navigate through a mobile site is important in keeping people on your mobile site. The challenge is that even though everyone seems to know it, so many mobile solutions out there simply don't pay attention to this fact.

Get them from your mobile homepage to wherever they want to go (especially inventory) in a couple of seconds or less.

3. Strong Mobile Inventory

The screen is smaller. It's surprising that many mobile sites have such small images on them. That's just one point.

The bigger point is the idea that no matter where they are on your mobile site, whether on the homepage, the inventory listings page, or the inventory details page, they should be able to click to call. Again, it's a no-brainer, but so few have it.

4. GPS Integration

I'm not going to cover it again, as I wrote an entire article about it here. Bottom line - get GPS integration into your directions. If someone is on your competitor's lot, don't make them ask for the address if they want to come see you. Let them get to you straight from their mobile device wherever they are.
