Award-Winning Small Business Marketing & Branding Solutions Specialist, Car Dealership Owner, Best-Selling Author, Speaker and Entrepreneur Tracy Myers Selected to Present at the 2012 DrivingSales Executive Summit

Tracy Myers has been selected to present at the fourth annual DrivingSales Executive Summit (DSES), the most authoritative profit-building event for innovative dealers. Myers joins an impressive agenda that also includes high-profile keynotes from Billy Beane of ‘Moneyball’ fame, SEO ‘superstar’ Rand Fishkin, mobile experience expert Luke Wroblewski, renowned leadership trainer Jim Dance, and an exclusive presentation from Facebook and Google. The DSES will be held Sunday, October 21^st through Tuesday, October 23^rd, 2012 at the Bellagio Las Vegas.

Myers will present a breakout session at the summit titled “Profiting From A PR Disaster” on October 4th, 2012 at 4pm. All speakers and content for the summit were selected by the DSES Dealer Advisory board.

“I’m extremely honored and humbled to have been chosen to share my story at the DrivingSales Executive Summit,” said Myers. “Most of the dealer community has heard me speak about marketing and branding. However, my presentation at DSES is an exclusive, in-depth profile of my run in with the FTC and how I handled the negative press to my advantage.”

Myers continued by urging all dealership employees to attend his session because there are no plans to deliver it again. “I had to get special permission and jump through lots of hoops just to be able to share this important story at DSES. However, I don’t think I’m willing to go through that grief again. This is probably the last time I’ll deliver it to a public audience.” Myers has also promised that he will be supplying a free case study about the incident to anyone who attends his session.

About “Profiting From A PR Disaster”: What happens when the fundamental integrity of a business dedicated to honest and fair sales practices is brutally attacked in the media? And with the federal governments help? That’s exactly what happened to Frank Myers Auto Maxx on Wednesday, March 14th, 2012. Attend Tracy’s presentation at the DrivingSales Executive Summit on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 4pm to find out how they recovered from this vicious assault to its good name and how you can follow their example.

“Myers was selected from an outstanding field of nearly 100 applicants, and we are confident that DSES attendees will learn a great deal from this extremely relevant topic. We are proud to add Myers to our exciting line-up for 2012,” said DrivingSales CEO and Founder, Jared Hamilton. “His presentation on brand management resonated with the dealer board, and will be an important part of the profit-building takeaways for summit attendees as they craft their 2013 business plans.”

The DrivingSales Executive Summit is 100% dealer driven and designed specifically for the most advanced dealer principals and dealership executives in the industry. The summit has a vendor-neutral policy, meaning no vendor influence on presentation selection and adherence to a strict dealer-to-vendor ratio. The DrivingSales Executive Summit is the only automotive conference where dealers decide the agenda, not the vendor sponsors. This translates into the highest level of learning for the dealer attendees versus other events where workshops are little more than glorified sales pitches.

Last year’s summit was standing room only, and although DSES 2012 will allow for an expanded number of registrants, it is expected to sell out quickly. Register for DSES at: http://drivingsalesexecutivesummit.com/features/standard-registration/.

Stay tuned for DSES news as it develops on www.twitter.com/drivingsales and on www.facebook.com/drivingsales. Participate in the conversation with the #DSES hashtag as preparations continue throughout the year.

Does The Auto Industry Need Another Automotive Conference?

Author’s Note: In the interest of fairness and full disclosure, I am not only speaking at the Automotive Super Conference but I am also a partner in the producing group.

If you’re in the automotive industry, you’ve probably heard about the Automotive Super Conference, which will be held at Charlotte Motor Speedway on June 27 and 28. Many of you have already decided to attend, while others are undecided. This latter group may be thinking, “Oh no, not another conference! Why should I attend? I’m too busy. I can’t be away from my dealership for that long. I already attend too many conferences. It’s inconvenient and too expensive. Besides, I can learn what is going on in my industry by reading trade magazines like Auto Success, Auto Dealer Monthly or Dealer Magazine. I can also participate in online forums such as Dealer Elite, Driving Sales or ADM. Then there are the conferences that I already attend such as Digital Dealer, Internet Battle Plan or Automotive Boot Camp.” There is no question that these reservations are valid, but let’s consider the alternative. What are the benefits of attending the Automotive Super Conference? What will be the return on your investment?

Here are 6 reasons why the Automotive Super Conference should be THE “must attend” event of the year!

World Class Training

At the Automotive Super Conference you will receive a word-class education for every department in your dealership. With our unique, streamlined presentation process, you won’t miss a thing!

A Unique Perspective

We keep hearing dealers complain that they have to go to multiple seminars/ conferences to get everything they need to succeed in today’s customer-driven economy. The Automotive Super Conference caters to each department!

At the Automotive Super Conference you will receive a word-class education for every department in your dealership. Other conferences have multiple sessions scheduled at the same time, which makes you “pick and choose”. This potentially could cause you to miss a million dollar idea. With our unique, streamlined presentation process, you won’t miss a thing!

World-Class Presenters

At the Automotive Super Conference we have the “Best of the Best“, presenting solutions to today’s toughest challenges. Each presenter is an expert in their field, giving you the best information available.

More Than Digital

Most conferences focus on digital marketing and nothing else. While we will be going over social media and sales, at the Automotive Super Conference we also have fixed-ops, F&I, sales training, phone training, traditional media and more!

Unique Venue

We figured that you might be tired of the same old places, so we opted for the Charlotte Motor Speedway as the venue of choice for the very first Automotive Super Conference.

For 2 days, June 27th and 28th you you will spend your time learning solutions to today’s biggest issues while overlooking the beautiful Charlotte Motor Speedway.

BIG Ideas/BIG Fun

We know that all work and no play makes for a dull day. That’s why you will also be given the opportunity to go on a drive around the track in an official pace car, just prior to the cocktail reception on the 27th.

Breakfast and Lunch Are On Us

We understand that it’s difficult to learn on an empty stomach. That’s why we’re providing you with a complimentary breakfast and lunch (not to mention coffee breaks) in the adjoining Queen Room.

Free DVD

Don’t like taking notes? Don’t worry about it! At the Automotive Super Conference we will record everything for you and then ship you the DVD when it’s ready! How is that for convenience? In addition to the DVD, you will receive each slide presentation on a jump drive before the end of the conference.

No Sales Pitch Promise

We’ve all attended conferences that were one big sales pitch and we didn’t like it any more than you. That’s why we are giving Automotive Super Conference attendees our “No Sales Pitch Promise”. While we understand that most of the presenters have a beneficial service or a product to offer dealers, we are limiting each one of them to a 5 minute “pitch”. That way, you can rest assured knowing that you can attend the Automotive Super Conference and get real-world solutions instead of sales pitches.

Money Back Guarantee

The Automotive Super Conference has a 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you decide that this is not right event for you, notify an on-site representative before 12pm on June 27 and return your materials. We will issue a full refund within 7 business days.*

Dealer Education That’s A No Brainer

In short, attending the Automotive Super Conference is a “no-brainer” because you will leave this unique event with solutions for your dealerships problem areas. You will also have a chance to network with your colleagues and experience one-on-one interaction with our expert presenters. You will leave the Automotive Super Conference reinvigorated, having gained energy to sustain you in your daily activities throughout the year. All of this is packed into two days at one of the coolest meeting facilities in the nation, Charlotte Motor Speedway.
