Pressure on margins… More competition…
Business model: The rationality by which an organization creates, delivers and captures value, Transactional VS Subscription
Blockbuster VS Netflix: Why be born : Late fees!
Refusing to let go of the past is generally more dangerous than ignoring the future.
Commitment to a clearly defined model
Income: One-off vs. Subscription to generate MONEY
Deliberate choice of key performance indicators
Recommendation engine (Netflix) vs. physical concession (Blockbuster)
COST structure…
Aligning resources to achieve model objectives
Applying model innovation to car dealerships
Isn’t our model constant?
After-sales revenues exceed gross margin (2017)
Gross margin in 2010: 4.5
Gross margin in 2017: 2.5
Our old measures are incompatible
What is Dealer Gross Margin? …
Any gross margin triggered by the sale, which is neither forward nor backward!
How do you create an alignment? : Process
Recruitment and Hiring
Employee integration
Training and development
Which dealership would you prefer to work for?
A (100% commission\/Engage 10 to keep 3\/70% turnover\/Focus on gross margin only)
B (Salary +\/Time to productivity\/Performance appraisal\/Concentration to match your model)
Keep in mind: Theaters: Margins come from POPCORN, not movies! \ud83d\ude0a …No late fees!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Increase sales without spending more
Real things you can implement NOW!
The difference between “NEED” and “WANT”.
Display the right ads to the right people
So…
Use data and match to ADVERTISEMENTS \/ CRM, large DATA, third parties
Not all your traffic has to come to your website (FB)
Long text converts 28% more than short text (FB)
Long text
Ad title target action, not purchases
Use emojis
Convert in text (form), don’t force people to come to the website
Multiple conversion points
Personalized photographs that evoke emotion in relation to the text
How to reach FB leads ADS customers: DISCUSS with them on messenger
Twice-weekly video e-mail – Special offers on used cars
3-4 “new” vehicles on used car lots \/ Topic: Weekly used cars – Toyota of Easley \/ No graphics, just words and a link to videos – Build an audience (FB)
Host the video on FB and on your website \/ Regularity is key \/ AWeber or Mailchimp \/ No more than 5 videos
So… Put videos in email marketing with videos
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel every month! \/ The video should focus on the vehicle – That’s where the key lies – Video time: longer than you think \ud83d\ude0a
Sweet spot: Good content, good everything: The optimum is 16 minutes!!! with an external microphone on your iPhone!

Will Amazon start selling cars? Carvana… Tesla… Not the future… Now is the time!
40% of consumers feel it is important to have a personal connection with the dealership
Online 4x vs. in-store \/ 88% of consumers won’t buy a car without trying it out
In 2020: 40% of vehicle sales will be attributed to millennials
54% would buy from a dealership offering their preferred experience over price
78% of car buyers are now ready for online transactions
The ideal time spent at the dealership: 1 h 30 is the best… more time is bad and too long…
Pop-up: Simple, fill in this form and we’ll contact you (emphasize that we’ll contact you to give you more information about this vehicle) – IT’S SIMPLE!!! \/ Time is money: Offer customers the chance to save… TIME!
5 mistakes to avoid when launching an e-commerce business :
Being half pregnant – Do you fundamentally believe that we will be conducting digital transactions in the future?
Dive without a plan – Know your beachhead – Choose a department and go for it! – Third parties have no impact on margins
No price transparency\/consistency! Consistent, fair prices build consumer confidence! More risky bets
False start (LACK OF MEMBERSHIP) – Encourage participation. Involve people early and often
Lack of transition plan – Reshape your team and its roles. Get the sales manager out from behind the desk – High-value tasks as a sales manager
Roadster + Longo Toyota
You must visit once in your life…

The Marketing Game – 6 categories
Landing pages – 40% of paid visits on home page, video on landing page 80x more engagement, unnecessary microsites, user intent tracking, page title for all pages
SEO: 1 Black hat, 50% of searches are voice searches, impact of Meta description on CTR, 35% of searches are local
SEM: 5%, Google ad preview tool has no impact, PPC elements increase by 6x: ad extensions, Google guide includes transactional data, landing page report
Video: YouTube counts after 10 seconds, True View ads, 15-second pre-roll ads, 6-second bumper ads, YouTube search report to find your videos
Links: 75% of people don’t go to the 2nd page of Google search, 1900 word length, backlinks yes for local SEO, no follow links, low value deep links, deep link ads should be removed
Widgets : -1.6x page speed, page notes are intended for use on applications
Data unification: Suite profiles are fake, Facebook for more traffic
Analysis: Traffic tracking is wrong, your website… 30% slowdown, heatmap tools, EDDM, good customers who use the phone, number of leads (Google Analytics + Google ads)
Contact point ID is on the decline

Breaking the mold!
From standard to exceptional
Best practice is easy to say, but hard to implement!
Conventional wisdom – What is most common –
Are you sure it works for YOU? Your team?
Case study: Coffee
Death Wish Coffee – Mike Brown, small coffee shop in Boston
Super Bowl commercials for free!
Create a process for making good decisions – Ask better questions!
Stop acting like experts, start acting like investigators
Is a hot dog a sandwich?!!!! And a dictionary is a… book!
Intention (part of the conversation) + Hunger (our voice is bland) = Aspiration (showing the world how fun and relevant we are)!
What is your aspiration anchor? What’s your unfair advantage? \/ HAVE NEEDS… be DESIRED! Create an emotional reaction
What is your first principle of insight? \/ Who are your true believers?
CONCENTRATE TO SELECT TO TEST… YOUR RESOURCES
THINK BIG, START SMALL \ud83d\ude42
Build the box – Understand and express your constraints
Innovate indoors – More and better ideas
Identify the signals of success – True believers!
Develop with clarity – invest only in the right direction
Creative freedom doesn’t exist… It may not even exist!
Leaders: Build the box for your team
Practitioners: Avoid running into invisible walls
What are your constraints? \/ Break the mold and ask better questions!
What does it take to be exceptional? Ask better questions!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Artificial intelligence turns 50! – Automatic learning
1997 Deep Blue vs Kasparov (Chess)
2005 Stanley vs. the DARPA challenge
2011 Watson vs Jeopardy
2017 Alphago Zero vs himself
Today: Visual recognition is a good example \/ Interaction: Understanding language, tone, emotion, context, cars and the automotive industry
Drivers can personalize the service according to their preferences
American drivers spend an average of more than 17,600 minutes, or about 293 hours, behind the wheel each year.
The average driver will spend sixteen hours and twenty minutes on the phone while driving.
88% of drivers use their phone while driving
For AI: The next 5 years will be more important than the last 100!
Future : No apps, no buttons, no passwords… Just the voice!
IBM & BMW work together : Example : Storm \/ AI bias will explode : Data to continuous feedback training
AI: Compassion, intuition, design, value judgments, common sense \/ Deep learning, discovery, large-scale mathematics, fact checking<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The principles of conversion-centered design (CCD)
CCD Principle #1: Attention
Attention ratio 82:1
Good ratio: 1 to 1 (one link per page or call to action) \/ 5-second test \/ Which course? – What level?
CCD Principle 2: Context
Match message \/ Go to home page \/ Simple landing page \/ Your home page is not a landing page
CCD Principle 3: Clarity
Principle of legibility: Contrast ratio and golden typographic ratio
Tineye.com \/ Visual ID \/ Silence is better than stupidity \/ Professional e-mail address 65% better
CCD Principle 4: Credibility
Be careful what you put in quotation marks
CCD Principle 5: The conclusion
1 mouth 2 ears – Be careful! – No mention of free – don’t add words for nothing
A bounce – Analyze my page now
Tell people what to do: arrow, punchy headline, etc. \/ Contrast – Grouping – Interruption
