Well said. Too many sales people are looking for the next magic quiver in technology to sell a unit for them. Personal interaction will always sell a unit, widget or whatever item needs to be sold.

Technology is merely another arrow in the quiver. It is a tool and needs to be used as such, not as a replacement.

It’s all good. No harm, no foul and no apologiy needed. Let’s talk soon.

The point I was trying to make is that if the only reason you are networking is to throw a pitch at people you will get tuned out….

Even though the bullets you were shooting with the “Everybody Rides” comments were aimed at my dealership (OUCH), I agree with the fact that networking is a great source of business because it is a great source for building relationships. That’s where the core of automotive sales has always been and always will be…in building relationships. Doesn’t matter if it’s online or in person.

Keep up the great work…and remember what Uncle Frank sez: “EVERYBODY RIDES!”

You are sooooo right on about these most basic networking principles. I especially enjoyed your comments with the bullets – “Everybody rides” – I literally laughed. Great stuff.

Keep up the good work.
