Instead, it is a complementary tool designed to enhance customer convenience and streamline the process. 🌐- Stephen Wade Website: https://stephenwade.com/ 🎩- LinkedIn: ⁠linkedin.com/in/herb-r-anderson-mba🎙-503546b⁠ 🌐- Website: https://dealertalk.io/ 📱- Cell phone: 702.526.0900 📱⁠⁠⁠DealerTalk Partner Program⁠⁠⁠ In partnership with: ⁠⁠⁠Frikintech⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Foureyes.io Free Trial⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Covideo⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠RunMyLease Lead Generation⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Simple Recon - DealerTalk⁠⁠ Highlights: 00:00 Introduction. 01:36 What Digital Retailing Was Meant to Be 04:30 What process have you created for digital retailing? 6:55 Not having the proper process for digital retailing perpetuates the stigma in our industry. 8:27 Customer Use of DR Tool: Potential Pitfalls 10:46 My Digital Retail strategy Subscribe to our YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@dealertalk⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Dealer Talk Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ Please send us a voice message on Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Dealer Talk Voice Messages⁠⁠⁠ Join the conversation as we navigate the dynamic automotive retail and marketing strategies world.

Welcome to the Dealer Talk Podcast, where we delve into the essence of marketing and unravel its mysteries. In this episode, we ask the fundamental question: What is marketing? For many, marketing is the quintessential "how" – the strategic roadmap guiding us to influence consumer behavior. It's about understanding the intricate dance between businesses and their target audience. Yet, in our exploration, we've noticed a curious trend: the proliferation of subsets like promotion, advertising, and more, often overshadowing the essence of proper marketing. Join us as we uncover the misconceptions surrounding marketing and its subsets. We believe that real marketing transcends mere tactics; it's about intentionality. It's about crafting a narrative that not only shields us against the tides of innovation and competition but also ensures our perpetual relevance in the minds of consumers. Tune in as we navigate the marketing labyrinth, seeking clarity amidst the chaos. It's time to redefine our perceptions and embrace the power of intentional marketing.

Welcome to Dealer Talk, where we delve into the ever-evolving landscape of search engine marketing (SEM). For years, SEM has stood as a stalwart method to capture consumer intent, defining our ability to seize consumers' interest and amplify visibility on search engine result pages. SEM operates on a pay-to-play basis, unlike Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which gradually ascents and strategically aims for higher organic rankings over time. Think of SEO as the marathon, diligently laying the groundwork for future visibility and credibility, while SEM represents the sprint designed for immediate visibility and results. Understanding this distinction is vital for our clients. SEO sets the stage for long-term success, while SEM provides the necessary boost for instant visibility. As consumers embark on their purchasing journey or seek vehicle service options, platforms like Google, Bing, and Yahoo become pivotal in their decision-making process.
