    Dealer Communications to Hold Regional Digital Dealer Workshop for Franchised Automotive Dealers & Managers in Houston, TX, January 17

    PRWeb – Fri, Dec 23, 2011

    Workshop Tracks Include: Automotive e-Commerce; Social Media & New Technologies; Sales, Process & Fixed Operations; and Websites, Marketing & Analytics

    Houston, TX (PRWEB) December 23, 2011

    Dealer Communications, the leading multi-media information source for franchised automotive dealers and managers, will hold a one-day regional workshop – the Digital Dealer Workshop -- at the Hilton Houston Post Oak Hotel, January 17, in Houston, TX.

    This Digital Dealer Workshop has been endorsed by the Texas Automobile Dealers Association (TADA).

    The workshop are designed for Dealers, GMs, GSMs, Internet Sales Managers, e-Commerce Directors, CRM Managers, BDC Managers and Fixed Operations Managers who want to learn more about how digital technology and best practices can help them improve dealership sales, marketing and fixed operations.

    Four Workshop Tracks will be offered.

    One track -- 360 Degrees of Automotive e-Commerce – offers dealers who don't get the Internet the opportunity to come to this workshop for a day and leave understanding how the Internet and digital technology affects all of their business. “This track offers dealers everything you always wanted to ask about the Internet...but were afraid to ask (your employees),” noted Michael Roscoe, President and CEO of Dealer Communications.

    For dealers and managers from dealerships at an intermediate or advanced level of digital sales, marketing and operations practice, there will be tracks on: Social Media and New Technologies; Sales, Process and Fixed Operations; and Websites, Marketing and Analytics. Dealers may chose to attend a single track all day, or attend a mix of sessions from any of the tracks.

    “This Digital Dealer Workshop has been carefully designed to give dealers and managers essential information about how they can grow their businesses using digital technology and best practices, at whatever stage in the adoption of digital technology solutions they are right now,” said Roscoe.

    "I am very proud to offer an opportunity for dealer principals and even GMs who don't yet fully "get" the Internet to come in for one day and leave with a comprehensive understanding. Not understanding the body shop is one thing...this is not understanding their entire business as technology and the Internet has changed it. In just one day in Houston, I hope to bring as many dealers up to speed as possible. TADA also believes this is important, that's why they endorsed this event," Roscoe added.

    At this one-day Digital Dealer Workshop, dealers will learn essential information for online success, including:


    • Maximizing online sales

    • Improving online marketing

    • Developing strategies for SEM and SEO

    • Maximizing the effectiveness of social media and reputation management

    • Improving sales processes

    • Gaining market share
