2. Listening to recorded calls, hearing where customers are interrupting your agents in order to ad
This video was too large to upload on ADM because of the 100 Mb limit but I wanted to show all ADM members how cool the Flipboard App for the iPad looks. It took me 2 minutes to install the App and it turned by boring Twitter stream into a stylish social media magazine.
The iPad app converted by Twitter stream into a cool Automotive Social Media magazine.

Well structured and well adapted pages populated with original and relevant content, planted in the right soil, over time, will thrive. People, consumers, are on the internet based on the need to seek pleasure or the need to resolve pain. The pain component has to do with searching for and finding answers to questions – solving personal problems or finding more information and a great deal on their next car. The se

Couple of my old stand byes are of course Crush it by Gary V, and The social media bible by Lon safko...they are inspirational and industry related for me. Do you want to know what I really love about them? The first few paragraphs in the first chapter have nothing to do with sports analogies whatsoever! that's right bit@

One last thing... Be sure top check out a couple of other dealer communities i have set up as similar but different proof of concept pilots:

They make excellent use of a live customer review data feed from DealerRater,com which you can see in the middle of the main page about half way down.
San Tan Ford in Gilbert, AZ: www.San-Tan-Ford.com
