Automotive Internet Sales and BDC Expert Stan Sher of Dealer eTraining to Speak at AutoCon 2012

Automotive Internet Sales and BDC Expert Stan Sher, of Dealer eTraining will be a featured speaker at AutoCon 2012 conference in Las Vegas at the Aria Hotel and Casino on September 5-8, 2012.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Free-Press-Release.com) September 2, 2012 -- Stan Sher, president of Dealer eTraining and editor for automotiveinternetsales.com will be facilitating a session on "The Evolution of the BDC" at the upcoming AutoCon 2012 conference in Las Vegas, NV.

Sher brings almost 10 years experience working in the automotive industry with 8 years in retail holding positions from sales consultant to executive eCommerce and BDC director. As a consultant Stan Sher and Dealer eTraining have helped many dealerships achieve Internet Sales and BDC success by providing thorough research and implementation of customized fine tuned processes designed for the success of the individual dealership. An example of Stan Sher's success is outlined by the recent improvements that Apple Honda of Riverhead, NY had seen. Dealer eTraining helped grow the BDC from producing 30 units per month to over 52 units per month with a gross profit of $140,000+ every single month. Eric Nichols, BDC Director of Apple Honda says, "Stan Sher came in helped my dealership articulate and implement the things that I was only dreaming could be done". He added that "At first when we met I did not think much improvement could be done. However, within 30-60 days I saw a major improvement. Now my dealer has more buy in and I am able to continue working to make the dealership successful"

Stan Sher will be discussing the reasons why the BDC department is important as well as how to create custom processes that dealerships need to implement for handling internet leads, incoming sales calls, unsold showroom traffic, lease retention, and owner loyalty. As a subject matter expert, Stan speaks at numerous events including the upcoming Internet Sales 20 Group in Chicago in October. In addition, he is a resident facilitator at the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association where he teaches monthly workshops that include sales, internet sales, BDC, social media, and digital marketing training for local dealer employees. Ralph Paglia, the organizer for AutoCon 2012 says, "I have been following Stan's career for a few years now. He is very process driven and is great at what he does. I am excited to have Stan Sher be a speaker at AutoCon".

Stan's session, "The Evolution of the BDC" will be held on Saturday September 8, 2012 at 10:00 AM at the Starvine Room 13 located in the Aria Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV. Stan will be at AutoCon 2012 from September 5-8 and will be available to meet. Feel free to contact Stan Sher to schedule a meeting.

Eric Nichols of Apple Honda Gives Dealer eTraining and Stan Sher a Testimonial

Eric and Apple Honda are a proud Dealer eTraining client.

https://www.facebook.com/dealeretraining

Eric Nichols, Internet Sales Manager for Apple Honda put out this video on SocialCam.  I had to share this because it makes me appreciate what I do for a living even more.  I love working with automotive dealers and helping them become successful.  I was able to help Apple Honda achieve improvements the same exact way that I have done it for myself in past.  When I work with a client I give them my best and I do things exactly how I would do them if I was working for them.  Eric also thanked TrueCar for sponsoring his trip to Las Vegas for AutoCon 2012.  I had to share this video here with everyone.
