If you talk at your readers in a broadcast mode you aren’t likely to create much of a conversation. You should have a central idea and stick with it. If you are writing a blog post about the latest and greatest in the auto industry don’t talk about baking cake or the latest clothing craze. Ask the readers for their thoughts. You have a much better chance for success when your business model makes what's good for the users match what's good for the business. Our products/services are best sellers not because we're better sales people or markerters (a meritocracy), but because they are labors of love and the product/service is better than the competition. Giving, giving, giving freely, openly without expecting anything in return. Open communication of thought and ideas. When you create this, it’s like planting seeds in fertile soil. Time, sunshine and watering, that seed will product a crop of ideas and concepts that will florish. If people in the industry followed Dr. Deming's Phylosphy the industry would be in a much better place. http://www.deming.org/theman/biography.html Thank you Jeff for creating this blog/forum and maintaining the high standards.

I've made some great friends off DR in 2007, and hope to expand on that further this year. I have a feeling this site is going to grow a lot more in 2008 as this part of the industry is more and more recognized. Thanks Jeff! It has definitely been fun participating on Dealer Refresh!
