Way Ahead As Usual...

Great Job B.W. and Elead/FB teams! 'Socialization' is the new leverage of this industry. Innovative dealers are going to appreciate what your newest service offerings will do for initiating and managing 'the conversation' with their existing and prospective customer bases.

At the perfect time, Elead should host a weekend-long "eCarSocial Carnival" just to allow the consumer and dealering communities to come together in a common virtual space where all the bright, shiny lights of these products may be put on display. And, I could help...but of course, B.W., you already know that!
