I recently attended the Innovative Dealer Summit in Denver, CO. One of the highlights was a session by Stan Sher, President of Dealer eTraining. There were so many sessions at the Innovative Dealer Summit, and I had so many friends speaking, that I ended up jumping from room to room to hear small bits of everyone’s presentations rather than limit myself to only one session per hour block of time.
Once I hit Stan’s session, however, I was completely riveted and ended up watching the whole thing, unable to leave. Kicking myself for not thinking about it sooner, I whipped out my iPhone and started filming to preserve this moment in all of its glory. My brain hurt at the end from the information that was shared. I hope you get out of it what i did.
Some of my favorite sound-bites:
“I’m a public figure. I let it out there.”
“I personally don’t like to have cable anymore in my house because it’s a rip-off” (There was an attendee in the room from the local cable company. Check out the guy’s reaction at 7:20 in Part 1.. Whoops!)
(in reference to Twitter) “I don’t think anyone’s gotten to it yet…its still one of those things where it’s still like.. is it going to go? Is it not going to go?”
“Parts always seems to be the one department in the dealership that doesn’t seem to get a whole lot done.”
(on branded personal profiles on Facebook) “Do not accept friend requests for anybody.”
(on how Facebook’s news feed is a distraction) “It took me 25 minutes to respond.. to try and actually get my job done. I wasted 25 minutes of work..myself. I’m a pretty serious individual.. I’m very strict about a lot of things and I was still goofing off.”
