Cast your vote for Reggae Marathon

Cast your vote for Reggae Marathon as International Race of the Year. I'd say 'vote now and vote often'  but it's one vote per email so I'll stick with 'Vote Now'.

Reggae Marathon is my favourite race event.  2017 will be my 9th consecutive Reggae Marathon Experience.  I don't run many races anymore...I like my early morning runs each day.  But I think about being in Negril on the first Saturday of December ever year to meet up with all my running friends:  Larry, Navin, Dan of course and everyone else I meet on the beach and on the road.  And on The Bus...the Sunday evening pub crawl on the One Love Bus tops off the Reggae Marathon Experience every time!

Reggae Marathon is often in the Top 10 International Marathon events primarily because of the amazing care we get as runners:  The Pasta Party Friday night, the well organized race course, the post-race beach party all one of the best beaches in the world, Negril. Now let's show some love.  Men's Running UK and Women's Running UK have included Reggae Marathon on their list of International Races in 2017.  So shameless promotion: Click on either of the links below to vote for Reggae Marathon:
 Men's International Race of the Year
 Women's Race of he Year

Until next time...

Socializing the Auto Industry

On a business trip back in the day, I asked a Social Media expert to define 'Social Media'.  "...Access to people without the corporate bias or filter".  And he added, "Social Media is electronically enhanced word-of-mouth".  

Today Social Media permeates everything.  Every post on Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest, Instagram reaches your followers and if they find value, they comment and share. Stripped bare, Customer Reviews on Google, Facebook and myriad sites are the new battle fields.  And never more important than in the shopping journey of researching and shopping for a new car, SUV or truck:

I don't like treadmills

I don't like treadmills. Never have, never will.  If it's too cold out to run, I don't run.  It takes a pretty cold day though to stop me from running.  Going to the gym to run on a treadmill isn't an option even on those super cold days.  Now that the weather is consistently above freezing, running outside is the only option.

My sister is a runner.  She has a treadmill and swears by it.  Softer on the knees and hips she says.  She gets to watch TV while running on her treadmill.  She says I should try it.  After you look at these epic treadmill fails you'll understand why I really don't like treadmills.

Until next time...

Mobile Marketing for Auto Dealers

Mobile, mobile, mobile...

Mobile marketing for auto dealers is top-of-mind with Dealer Principals today.  In most meetings, there's a moment when we all pull out our smartphones and try to replicate a search experience. I often move from laptop to smartphone to demonstrate a particular shopper experience.  On the front lines, the Sales Consultants interact with the mobile shopper every day:  On the lot all the way through negotiation to closing the deal.  
Are you ready?
