Taking DealerRefresh ON THE ROAD, It's about time right?

Jeff,

You got me... Again! I was trying to figure out if each was an hour, and it was $199 per hour, with a minimum of an 8 hour day... How it could work. Almost as good as when the REAL Jeff Kershner was revealed on ADM at the last Digital Dealer held in Orlando. Keep up the great work, not only is DealerRefresh an inspiration, but you always remind the rest of us not to take ourselves so seriously that we forget to have fun.

Here I am thinking about how I want to get into consulting and working on trying to start my own company, Dealer Internet Sales Solutions (DISS) and I see this and I started to panic. I mean that was a lot of stuff to offer for very little money. I heard of giving away cars but giving away consulting (LOL).

Jeff, you are awesome.

This looks like a nice time to give Dealer Refresh some competition, since this is now technically going to be a Retail Website. To keep things on the up and up, I'd suggest another DR website to compliment the Consulting entity, linking out to it. However with all the real estate now dedicated to advertisers, Dealer Refresh will be perceived much differently than it is today when you fully implement your offerings. Some of us are looking for great ideas, and collaboration without having to pull out our credit cards, just for looking.

My heads-a-spinnin. I think I need to hire a consultant to consult with me about which consulting services I may need from this DR consultant group...LOL

Fair proposal, the deal looks "OKAY" on paper - but what if I want everything - what would be total cost if we "bundled" EVERYTHING?? Sharpen your pencil and get back to me on this!

Wow Wow Wow!!! This is an all time favorite-maybe because I am a vendor and hear this all day from our competitors - (never us though, right!)

Great writing - don't let anybody ever tell you that you are just a "car guy."

Seriously Hilarious Post!

Optimizing Local Search for your Dealership

This is a GREAT article. I'm curious if people have found resources to independently update all their listings as a dealership. That seems to be something many companies struggle with.

As Jamie pointed out, SEM companies like ReachLocal, Performics, Cuneo can help with this but I'd love to be able to direct people to the right resources to do it themselves, because it's such a key item to consider.
