Good morning.

I am excited to invite you to an exclusive webinar for dealerships to help you corral your compliance, simply change management, and make your life easier. 🆒

(Now who wouldn’t want to attend something to make your life easier?) 😎

It’s at 1:00 EST tomorrow, Tuesday, June 11.

✅I’ll be joined by Tim Gunderson, CEO of VComply, as we discuss:

* What compliance actually means for your dealership
* Key regulations like GLBA, Buyer’s Guide, & other changes from the FTC
* Common challenges you can get ahead of today

As I work with dealerships of all sizes across the country, I’ll be sharing tips and ideas you can take with you and start applying into your daily operations. 💡

Additionally, I’ll be doing a 20 minute Q&A where you can bring any questions you’d like to have answered when it comes to your dealership. Nothing is off the table! 🚀

Registration information is in the comments below.

Proudly sponsored by Dealer Marketing Magazine.

I hope to see you there.

Cheers.

Consortium: A group of octopi. 🐙

That was what we had at Business Bourbon and Ci**rs in Scottsdale. ✅

Question: Why was the octopus dangerous?

Answer: He was well armed! 💪

And that's what Scott Joseph and Sandy P Cerami Cerami did for us...made us well armed with information. 🏆

➡️ They did an outstanding job organizing and octi-pying us with great information and engaging topics. (You gotta love octopus puns, right?) ⬅️

Tuck The Octopus conversations took place with dealers, tech companies, and other businesses alike.

With special thanks to Justin Silver, Ronald S Marvo, Dan Shine and Becka Stewart. Thanks for being part of the club. 😁

I can't tag you all...I really enjoyed my time with you. Cheers.

Avoid the barf bag.

‘Nuff said.

  Recently, I was traveling on Something-or-other Airlines, (as I often do), and noticed the barf bag in my seat pocket was patented.   It was quite a large marking, too.   “Huh,” I thought. I have to look this one up on Google. So, here it is:   Method for making
