Hi all, after a long career - OEM, Distributor, dealer and trader - I am too energized to stop, So i have developed a site for best practices.

I have bundled up things that I believe are relevant, current or skills gaps - and placed them on a gumroad site.

I am open to suggestions for future topics, I am open for ideas, and any help

I have been charging only about $20 per item, with 100% after gumroad fees going to help educate some kids from a less advantaged family

If anyone has any ideas - inputs, or can help me grow i'm truly open to suggestions

The site is Subscribe to Automotive Masterclass on Gumroad

thanks all
 
Sorry, but it doesn't look like it's ready for real business. Is there any evidence of your expertise? Videos, social media? I am not clicking on any Xitter links, sorry.

Then the website looks amateur and not even real. I am looking at this page:

2 "Download the playbook" links - neither works.
The image of the "book" has "service, retention, "accuigae"?
 
Plenty of evidence of my expertise

I went from apprentice to Chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company in the UK - responsible for 1500 dealers, and scaling the profits to an all time record - average sales about 450,000 units a year

Moved to Toyota and Lexus in the UAE ( A dealer group) selling 70,000 Toyota new, 8,000 Lexus new - 3,000 used - scaled this to record profits
Launched new Chinese brands in UAE
Moved to Kuwait and ran Kia, Changan, Volvo Truck

I really appreciate your feedback - its helpful
I also appreciate the content I have is not suitable for someone as experienced as yourself, as you could probably teach me

Best regards, and again I appreciate your input
