DSES 2014 is right around the corner (this Sunday) and if there’s ONE event in the industry that I look forward to, it is DSES!
[highlight color=”#F0F0F0″ font=”black”]UPDATE: For the 6th year in a row DSES has SOLD OUT. But if you didn’t get a seat and would very much like one? Click here to possibly get on a waiting list.[/highlight]
What makes the DrivingSales Executive Summit so different? That’s easy…
Created Specifically for Dealer Executives
The event is curated with Dealers, GMs and high-level decision-makers in mind.
Focus on Advanced Dealership Strategies
This is NOT an event for beginners.
Fresh Content
Not the same agenda you see everywhere. DSES is known for renowned leaders and groundbreaking research.
Dealer Designed
Vendors don’t dictate the agenda; dealers do.
Outside Industry Experts
Many challenges inside our industry have been solved outside it. DSES brings those solutions to Dealers
This year brings about even more exciting and renowned Keynote Speakers:
Bryan Eisenberg, Rand Fishkin, Mike Hudson, Jack Simmons, Brian Solis, Florian Zettelmeyer, Adam Justis…and of course the resident keynote Jared Hamilton. Click here for the complete Keynote agenda.
Between the keynotes you have several breakout sessions to choose from. I’m sure most would agree that this year offers one of the more aggressive line ups of breakout speakers. Many of the breakout speakers this year are active DealerRefresh community writers and members – so be sure to represent!
Now.. you can choose to print out the agenda OR you can access the agenda and enhance your whole DSES experience by downloading the DSES Mobile App.
Another reason I’m excited about DSES 2014 is that I have once again earned the privilege of speaking. This years session will focus on the advantages of utilizing mobile tablets on the showroom floor. You will be amazed by how easy it is to…
- Increase front end gross (Yes, you read that right)
- Sell more products (insurances & warranties)
- Sell more accessories
- Increase CSI scores
- Increase your closing ratio and sell more cars!
…all this and more by simply utilizing a mobile tablet (like an iPad) loaded with the right apps on the showroom floor while injecting it into your current process or what many dealers call “the road to the sale”.
Session Title – “Mobile Workflow and the Showroom Process of the Future”
I’ll not only get you up to speed on the latest and most important statistics around the advantages of utilizing tablets at the dealership, but I will also be diving into the reasons why consumers are “Showrooming” while at your dealership, and what you can do to help prevent it.
