According to Kelly Blue Book, 2023 was a record year for U.S. electric vehicle sales, with 1.2 million vehicles delivered, resulting in a 7.6% total U.S. market share, up from 5.9% in 2022. Fourth-quarter EV sales were up year-over-year by 40% — big numbers, but lower than the 49% year-over-year gain in the third quarter. Cox automotive predicts that 2024 will see EV market share in the U.S. reach 10% of all vehicles. Growth is slowing and dealer inventories of electric vehicles in America are climbing, and some manufacturers such as Ford have begun offering incentives to move EVs. A fundamental reason in the reduction in electric vehicle sales incentives in America and Europe was a persistently high MSRP of electric vehicles, caused by the high cost of batteries. With high interest rates making the financing of expensive purchases even more expensive, buying with persistent inflation in other consumer goods, but optional electric vehicles worldwide may be slower than predicted.* * *Want to watch this podcast as a video?

Gas prices are sky high right now, but it may not matter if you can't afford to buy a car. Prices for new and used cars have hit record highs. We'll talk about that today on MoneyWise. Just how bad are car prices these days? One way to tell is by the average monthly payments you now have to make to buy a vehicle. A new report by Cox Automotive and Moody's Analytics shows that monthly payments for new cars are now averaging $712 a month and that a median of over 41 weeks of income is now needed for the average new car purchase. The latest data from the Consumer Price Index shows that new car prices jumped 12.6% in the last year. That, and rising interest rates continue to drive monthly payments to record highs. Kelly Blue Book is reporting that the average new car price in May was just over $47,000. Incredibly, price hikes are even worse for used car prices. They've gone up more than 16% since last year. In addition to higher interest rates, another factor driving payments higher is the continued shortage of computer chips required in today's vehicles. Analysts are predicting that the chip shortage probably won't get worse but then again it's not likely to get any better in the months ahead. The bottom line, analysts say, is that the rapid rise in prices for new and used cars is likely to tail off but due to a continued tight inventory they're not expected to decline for the rest of 2022. So, what can you do about it? Well, obviously, if you can afford to wait to buy either a new or used car, do it. In a year, things may look different, but they're not likely to be much worse. But if you need a vehicle, first make sure you have a hefty down payment. Ideally, you want to save enough after paying off a car loan to make an even bigger down payment. If you keep doing that, you'll be able to pay cash and not finance the vehicle at all. You'll save a trunk load of interest costs. Now, if you're buying a new vehicle, there are certain fees that you may be able to negotiate your way out of, so look for these on the window sticker. ADVERTISING FEE: First is an advertising fee. The dealer may insist on charging you for it, but it should be listed on the vehicle in plain view. If they spring it on you when you're signing papers, do your best to have it taken out. PREPARATION CHARGE: Here's another one to look for, something called a dealer preparation charge. Theoretically, it would cover prepping the vehicle for display on the lot and finalizing the sale, but this cost should be included in the retail price of the car not an added fee. FABRIC PROTECTION: Next, you might see a fabric protection fee. Ask to have that one taken off. If you're worried about staining the upholstery, just buy a few cans of Scotchgard and do it yourself. It'll be a lot cheaper. PAINT PROTECTION: Another fee you should try to avoid paying is for paint protection. This is a urethane film put on the car, but you shouldn't need it. Any rust that appears would be covered by the warranty. Instead of this protection, just ask for wax when you go through the car wash. VIN ETCHING: One more fee you shouldn't pay when buying a new car: vehicle identification number etching. It's true that this would make it more difficult for thieves to resell your car if it's stolen, but you can do it yourself or take it to an auto repair shop and have it done much cheaper than the dealer would charge. USED CAR TIPS Now for some tips on buying a used car, assuming you already know the vehicle or vehicles that would work best for you. Go online to Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds.com. You can plug in a vehicle's year, make, model and mileage to get an idea of what you should expect to pay.

Car Prices Hit Record High

Gas prices are sky high right now, but it may not matter if you can't afford to buy a car. Prices for new and used cars have hit record highs. We'll talk about that today on MoneyWise. Just how bad are car prices these days? One way to tell is by the average monthly payments you now have to make to buy a vehicle. A new report by Cox Automotive and Moody's Analytics shows that monthly payments for new cars are now averaging $712 a month and that a median of over 41 weeks of income is now needed for the average new car purchase. The latest data from the Consumer Price Index shows that new car prices jumped 12.6% in the last year. That, and rising interest rates continue to drive monthly payments to record highs. Kelly Blue Book is reporting that the average new car price in May was just over $47,000. Incredibly, price hikes are even worse for used car prices. They've gone up more than 16% since last year. In addition to higher interest rates, another factor driving payments higher is the continued shortage of computer chips required in today's vehicles. Analysts are predicting that the chip shortage probably won't get worse but then again it's not likely to get any better in the months ahead. The bottom line, analysts say, is that the rapid rise in prices for new and used cars is likely to tail off but due to a continued tight inventory they're not expected to decline for the rest of 2022. So, what can you do about it? Well, obviously, if you can afford to wait to buy either a new or used car, do it. In a year, things may look different, but they're not likely to be much worse. But if you need a vehicle, first make sure you have a hefty down payment. Ideally, you want to save enough after paying off a car loan to make an even bigger down payment. If you keep doing that, you'll be able to pay cash and not finance the vehicle at all. You'll save a trunk load of interest costs. Now, if you're buying a new vehicle, there are certain fees that you may be able to negotiate your way out of, so look for these on the window sticker. ADVERTISING FEE: First is an advertising fee. The dealer may insist on charging you for it, but it should be listed on the vehicle in plain view. If they spring it on you when you're signing papers, do your best to have it taken out. PREPARATION CHARGE: Here's another one to look for, something called a dealer preparation charge. Theoretically, it would cover prepping the vehicle for display on the lot and finalizing the sale, but this cost should be included in the retail price of the car not an added fee. FABRIC PROTECTION: Next, you might see a fabric protection fee. Ask to have that one taken off. If you're worried about staining the upholstery, just buy a few cans of Scotchgard and do it yourself. It'll be a lot cheaper. PAINT PROTECTION: Another fee you should try to avoid paying is for paint protection. This is a urethane film put on the car, but you shouldn't need it. Any rust that appears would be covered by the warranty. Instead of this protection, just ask for wax when you go through the car wash. VIN ETCHING: One more fee you shouldn't pay when buying a new car: vehicle identification number etching. It's true that this would make it more difficult for thieves to resell your car if it's stolen, but you can do it yourself or take it to an auto repair shop and have it done much cheaper than the dealer would charge.

Zach and Bob discuss the current used car market wholesale conditions, Carvana, and the future outlook of the used car marketplace. Some of the questions asked include: 1) So, Bob, we still have a supply chain challenge this year, what has been your view of this 2022 used car marketplace thus far and where are we headed? 2) During the pandemic many dealers started leveraging online wholesale platforms, do you see dealers starting to come back to physical auctions as mask + early COVID restrictions are gone? What are your thoughts longer term on online versus being physically at an auction lane?  3) What are your thoughts on Carvana acquiring the physical auction assets of Adessa from KAR? What's this mean for used car dealers? 4) If you are a small to mid-size used car dealer listening to this podcast, what advice would you give them in terms of how they should think about buying and holding used inventory right now? 5) One of the popular features of a Vroom or a Carvana website/digital retail experience is the, ”sell us your car” feature where you enter a VIN or DL plate number and they give you an instant cash offer. When we last spoke you told me you invented this concept at a previous company (Buybook). Talk about the importance of having this on your dealer website as many used car dealers do not?

Astrophysicist Greg Laughlin from the University of California, developed a special formula for determining how much worlds are worth. There is not Kelly Blue Book for this kind of thing. Laughlin's calculations put the value of planet earth at $5,000,000,000,000,000 (quadrillion), making it the most expensive planet in the solar-system (Mars came in at a modest $16,000). He urges that this price tag is a reminder that since every inhabitant of earth freely inherits it, it is our most important family heirloom. Could it be that what is most valuable in the universe we all get without cost? Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (John 17:3). Knowing God and the resulting eternal life comes without cost (Isaiah 55:1).

What if you were about to make a massive investment but were unsure what you would have to pay for the investment?  Add on the fact; this investment would be one of the most emotional decisions that you would make not only in your life but the life of your child. This is the situation that most parents find themselves in when determining what they will pay for their kids to attend college.  Mark Salisbury, who spent much of his career working in higher education, wanted to change this by helping parents and students be better informed when deciding what college to attend and how much it would cost them. Mark created a company called TuitionFit.  Think of it as the Kelly Blue Book of college pricing.  It is a free process where parents can upload their kids' college award letters and compare apples to apples what other kids have received from various colleges and universities. I believe in Mark's company so much that I have decided to partner with him to create a better college planning experience for families.  The first ten families who contact me, Mark and I, will personally walk you through the TuitionFit process at no cost to you.  Please enjoy my conversation with Mark Salisbury.

Finally, we discuss why cutting really good veteran players to simply create cap space is nonsensical.  In the second half of the show, Patrick Dees, co-founder and Chief Gaming Officer of Fan Controlled Football, joins the show to discuss the story behind the newest professional football league. Dees began his tech career with a business he described as the "Kelly Blue Book of cell phones" and that somehow led him to where he's now in the broadcast booth getting punched in the kidney by Marshawn Lynch.

Welcome to another episode of Action & Ambition with your host, Andrew Medal. Today’s guest is Josh Luber. Josh Luber is the co-founder and CEO of the disruptive stock market-modeled online sneaker marketplace, StockX. Within a short timespan, Josh has transformed sneaker resale and turned StockX into a $1 Billion business. Luber founded many online companies before StockX, including Servinity, that went bankrupt due to the financial crash in 2008. Luber worked a consulting job after that, and in 2012, he used sneaker sales data to launch Campless, the precursor to StockX. He is also the founder and CEO of Stealth Trading Card companies and is moving on to his 5th and 6th startups.  You’re going to love this episode. Let’s get to it! What was the process like for Josh while starting his businesses? (3:32) Looking back, Josh says he had some kind of corporate job between each of his startups.  His life also changed exponentially between each of his startups as he started a family.  Starting a business is always a risk for everyone involved, and anything that happens during a startup can change how it goes drastically.  Josh’s last startup had to shut down before exiting because of the crash in 2008-2009.  Josh was in Atlanta during that time, and it had a terrible job market; he eventually took a job in IBM, which had him move to New York. As a strategy consultant in NYW, the city was a jumping-off point for capitalists, which ended up becoming StockX. As a startup guy working in IBM, it’s a good company because it’s the definition of big corporations and bureaucracy.  If you find yourself in that position, you have to start working and looking for stuff to do on the inside.  Josh believes that if he never went to work at IBM, StockX would’ve never happened because it allowed him to accumulate enough taste and skill level with data to ask the right questions. So even though his experience at a Law firm and IBM might look like anomalies on Josh’s resumé, they were both massively helpful in all of his endeavors.  What was the data that Josh saw that made him start StockX? (10:12) Josh says that it is extraordinary that what is happening in terms of data in the trading cards right now is almost identical to what was happening in the sneakers in 2012.  It’s the big reason Josh has decided to leave StockX to go after trading card companies was because of the similarities for sneakers at that time.  In 2012 there was no price guide, there was no Beckett for sneakers, no Kelly Blue Book, and as sneakers became more mainstream, that became more and more of a problem.  Sitting in IBM, deep in the data space and having collected sneakers his whole life, and always following the sneaker market, Josh was also just searching for side projects.  He thought about trying to get his hands on some sneaker data and seeing what he could do with it, and eventually, he figured out how to collect eBay data. It became clear very quickly that no one was doing real analytics around the resale market at that time.  People were still using eBay sold auctions to understand the price of a pair of sneakers, the value of them.  It was a very insular, fragmented market at the time. Using the data Josh collected, he looked at what he could build around it, and no one else was doing that.  What is the impact that Josh wants to have? (39:47) Josh was happy about this question because most people usually ask him what’s the most expensive shoe he owns, and he’s gotten tired of answering those questions.  For Josh, it’s about the process, and all the success he has had with StockX is impressive, and he’s excited that that success allows him to do it again.  With the age his kids are now, Josh is excited because growing up, the word entrepreneur did not exist. Going after your dream and making a business, a career from something you love to do was rare. Josh was lucky that what he loved as a kid has grown into the two biggest things in culture and commerce. But it was the actual process of starting up the business and building it that he enjoyed the most.  He hopes that his passion for that will reflect in his kids and show them how to create value—hiring people, creating jobs, and helping the world.  StockX StockX is a Detroit-based online marketplace and reseller of sneakers, streetwear, handbags, and collectibles. Acting as a live bid/ask marketplace for the most hotly anticipated drops.  Resources Connect with Josh: LinkedIn StockX: Website Connect with Andrew: Linkedin

Here are some of the highlights: To the question Dave Ross’s posed “is there anything the legislature can do?”  Reporter Hanna Scott: “They could change the valuation system to what was originally asked… closer to Kelly Blue Book, basically.”  Traffic Reporter Chris Sullivan: “It’ll also take some intestinal fortitude and actual leadership out of the Governor’s office to basically do what Governor Locke did, back in the day, call the legislature back and say listen, we know it’s terrible, the [State] Supreme Court did this, but this is what the voters wanted and let’s make it happen.” Ursula Reutin admitted to voting against I-976, but "because it has been approved by voters, I think this outrageous."  Gee Scott: "I apologize for my emotions, but sometimes you've got to put your foot down and say enough is enough and I'm sick and tired of the people not being listened to."  John Curley: "So, Mr. [Bob] Ferguson, who would like to be Governor... did he not see that this thing wasn't going to pass muster?"  Tom Tangney: "I don't understand why they can't just make it a single issue instead of always trying to add more for political purpose.

8 Super Easy Tips on How to Sell Your RV

This week on the RV Podcast, we give you inside tips on how to sell your RV. Don't get low balled from a dealer that offers to buy it or take it in as a trade-in. Sell it yourself! We did and the process couldn't have gone more smoothly. And in the process, we learned a lot that literally saved us tens of thousands of dollars when it came time to sell our RV so we could buy a new one. This week in Episode 301 of the RV Podcast, we share our personal experience in selling our RV (we did so just last week), introduce you to the couple who bought it, hear from a dealer and learn from an expert at RV Trader how to sell your RV and get the most for your used RVs. Here's a player to the audio version of this RV Podcast episode on how to sell your RV. You can also listen to the RV Podcast on your favorite podcast app.  A full article with links, transcripts, photos, and other resources follows: BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT HOW TO SELL YOUR RV...TWO PROGRAMMING NOTES First a couple of RV Podcast programming notes. I (MIKE) am doing this episode solo this week as Jennifer, my lifelong traveling and the bride of my youth, is feeling a bit under the weather this week and thus, won’t be able to handle her normal co-hosting duties. We’re hoping she’s back next week feeling much better. Secondly, from popular demand, we’re rearranging the order of the various segments of the RV Podcast. We’ll move our Interview of the Week segment up towards the top of each episode, to more quickly get to the key theme of each podcast. The other regular sections will follow the interview. RV PODCAST INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK - How to sell your RV And this week, that theme is how to sell your RV... yourself, instead if trading it in or selling it outright to an RV dealer. As regular listeners know, Jennifer and I bought a brand-new RV last week - a 2021 Wonder Rear Twin Model from Leisure Travel Vans. In the weeks ahead, we’ll be talking a lot about why we changed RVs, why we chose the Ford Transit vs the Mercedes Sprinter chassis and showing videos and photos and doing a full review and walkthrough on the RVLifestyle.com travel blog. We have so much content about that new Wonder to show you that it will take lots of articles and videos. But this week on the RV Podcast and in this article on the RVLifestyle.com travel blog, we talk about how to sell your RV yourself, which we just did with the 2019 Leisure Travel Vans Unity FXa that we have owned for the past year and a half. We change RVs a lot. I want to know as much as possible how the different models handle. Their strengths and weaknesses, so I can speak from experience in our videos and blog articles. There were lots of reasons why we chose the Wonder on the Ford Transit chassis and I have a whole article coming out on that in a could of days. Beware of being low-balled! But obviously, to buy a new one, we had to sell our old one. We thought of simply trading it in at a dealer or selling it to them outright. Many advertise that they are desperate for used RVs and are paying "premium rates" or "top dollar for your trade." When I checked with a couple of dealers who advertise that, it didn’t take long to realize that top dollar to a dealer was not reflective of what our  RV is really worth. The dealers quite simply low balled us. They offered wholesale prices. In our case, almost $30,000 LESS than what we actually sold it for ourselves. Dealers make big money on trade-ins. By low, sell high. You can’t blame them.  But you also can blame us in saying no way. Tip #1 on how to sell your RV - Do your research There is no Kelly Blue Book prices for RVs. But there is something called the NADA RV Guide which stands for the National Automotive Dealers Association. But the NADA Guides – which cover automobiles, motorcycles, boats, classic cars, manufactured homes and RVs – is actually owned by JD Power.

The Business of Trust feat. Rinaldi Halim, Chuck Schofield

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Who can you trust when buying a car? This is a very complex question. Certainly, the easy answer, the one that speaks to our monkey brain, is to seek the counsel of your parents. After all, if they kept you alive for the last 18 years, they have some credibility of knowing what's right, and therefore you trust them implicitly. Another answer would be to trust technology. Examples of trust in technology are visiting websites like Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds, and Truecar, where they've amassed copious amounts of data points to provide you with trusted guidance. Other examples of trust in technology are to use apps. Seventy episodes ago, we discussed an app called AutoGravity which allows you to shop for cars, apply for credit, and know your payment all from  your phone so that there are no surprises when you arrive at the dealership. There is a common thread to these trusted sources. They remain agnostic about your purchase. It is ironic, to some degree, that trust is embedded in sources who don't care about your business versus those who do care about your business. This is the conundrum of automotive dealers where agnostic sources of car buying are trusted more than the dealer. And let's be honest. Both customers and dealers play this game of poker, trying to only disclose tidbits of information so that one player can eventually go all in. Tune in to hear about this crazy game of poker between customers and dealers. Rinaldi Halim is currently serving as Dealer Principal of Los Angeles Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Managing Partner of Downey Nissan and Nissan of Tustin. Prior to these roles, Mr. Halim served as Executive Manager of Nissan of Duarte and a number of leadership positions with Mossy Automotive Group, San Diego. Mr. Halim is frequently sought by top leadership at Nissan North America and FCA for his insights and operating processes which have afforded him and his dealerships consistent achievement in sales volume and other measures. He holds recognition as Downey Nissan California’s number one Nissan dealer and LACDJR FCA’s fastest growing dealership in CA. Mr. Halim has won five consecutive Nissan Top 50 Global Awards of excellence. Mr. Halim resides in Irvine, CA, with his wife and daughter. Chuck Schofield is vice president of Sales and Dealer Development at AutoGravity. He and his team handle nationwide, dealer-facing engagement, recruitment and customer service. Chuck spent 27 years at Daimler Financial Services and 12 years with Daimler Truck Financial. He has also served as director of Business Vehicle Finance at Chrysler Financial and western region manager for Mercedes-Benz Financial Services. In those roles, he was responsible for managing U.S. finance products and services sales and cultivating and maintaining relationships with Mercedes-Benz, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, Freightliner and Western Star dealership personnel.

We are live at the 2019 automotive intelligence summit here in big beautiful Raleigh, North Carolina. It's Tuesday, July 24th, and we are really excited to have a special guest on the show. We have Dan Magnuszewski,and he is the co founder and CTO of ACV auctions. Welcome to the show, Dan. Thanks for adding me. So appreciate you. We're doing this at lunchtime, so appreciate you kind of skipping lunch a little bit so I know sacrificing the lunch and, you know, pretending the fast. Yeah. Awesome. Uso let's start with your background. We'd love to know, you know, as a fellow technology guy, you know, did you do comp sire engineering and then take us to how you ended up, at ACV auctions? Dan:     [01:42]    Sure. So born in in really raised in Buffalo, New York as I was going through school always had an interest in computers. I initially wanted to be an astronaut, but it was, wasn't good at math, so I said, okay, well I can work on, you know, you know, computers and stuff. That's cool. And then, you know, that, that, that's my contribution. So I got really interested in computers. In high school we had a Cisco Network Academy course and this is kind of like 97 through 2001 took some web design classes. And then like I said, this is go network academy. And so I got into networking graduated high school and was going to University of Buffalo for computer science. The summer leading up to it, I was fortunate to get an internship with a a regional bank and I was working in their network operations center and writing software that was helping monitor the network and you know, the systems and things like that. Dan:     [02:46]    So worked, worked there throughout college. And a couple of years after I left there, went to a kind of a growing startup in buffalo called Synacor. I was there from, you know, there was about a hundred people and when I left a little under, four years later, there were about 350 people prep and we're preparing for IPO and all this other good stuff. They tried the first time, it was 2008 when they're attempting that. So yeah, not, not quite the timing. So I left there. They, they IPO a couple years after I left, but so I left there and to go do a startup with a buddy of mine. We did that six months in, went to south by southwest, didn't necessarily launch. So kind of went around and started becoming a technical cofounder for hire worked with people out of the west coast, New York City, Chicago who had an idea and had some money and were looking for someone to kind of make this into a real thing. Dan:     [03:50]    So I would, I'd really take it, take the product idea, like work through it, figure out what the MVP is, really try to focus it and then would go and build it. So I was doing that for a while and kind of along the same time, I was doing a lot of things in the in the local community around how are we building, you know, startups and coworking and a whole bunch of other stuff. So, so I was doing that and we were opening, well, a couple of people were opening a an incubator in buffalo in five point $2 million seed fund and you know, so that was really the first of what a first of the incubators and things like that in Buffalo. So a kind of career shifted a little bit and went into venture capital and how do you build businesses? Dan:     [04:38]    And studied under a couple of guys who had a Jordan lovey around triber who had built a couple very successful companies and with Softbank capital in New York. So I was working with them and kind of understanding how do you build a business, how to vcs, look at investing in companies how do you pitch your company? How do you do all these different things that just building how do you build a great business, but then also how do you then go and pitch it and raise capital and things like that. Did that. And so after a while it felt like it was kind of sitting on the sidelines a little bit, you know, trying to help mentor companies and things like that. But I wasn't really fully getting my hands dirty at the end of the day. So I had an itch to kind of get back into it. Dan:     [05:24]     I was working on some things on the side. And then somebody applied to the incubator they, they had just moved to buffalo from Albany and basically say, I have this idea and I, you know, I was a used car dealer. I went and I was selling 50 cars a month and it was a nice little business, but I'm running around all these auctions all the time. And so he moved to Buffalo, worked at a, at a decent sized new car dealership and saw a lot of inefficiencies in their wholesale process. And he's like, you know, I, as a, as a used car dealer, I would love to get access to this inventory where they're taking a couple of photos and just putting it in their dms. I would love to have, I would love to have access to this. So it's like, I have this idea and you can get a push notification and you know, you can buy this inventory ahead of time. Dan:     [06:14]    And it was really, you know, so it was really the initial, a seed of ACV auctions. How do you take mobile phones and mobile adoption, smartphone adoption in the industry was, you know, starting to really pick up, you know, my, my dad's a used car dealer and as I was building it he still had his flip phone, so it was like just around as we launched that he ended up getting a smartphone. I think I kind of forced them a little bit into it. So so, so the timing seemed right. So I talked to him. I said that, yeah, this, this makes sense. I could build it. Let's start working on it. So this was about five years ago, so it was a summer of 2014. We just started kind of nights and weekends, started talking to dealers started talking to some investors as well. Dan:     [07:07]    And but really it seemed like, you know, we had something there. So by the end of 2014 we left our jobs and sold our houses, downsized, and we were all in a building the product. And so kind of that first half of 2015 we were building the product, going around trying to sell it just in the buffalo market. That was going to be our initial launch market. And we had 250 dealers signed up and January 1st of 2015 we were sitting around one day we were like, okay, let's just, let's just launch it. You know, the app was an app was out there, people are asking for it and we're like, you know, Shit, let's go do it. So, so we did and a sold our first car and you know, we were kind of off to the races from there. Scot:     [07:56]    Yep. So, so for listeners that don't know, I've learned a lot about this coming from the ecommerce world, it seems crazy, but most auto auctions you, you bring the vehicles with you, like physically you put them on a car carrier. So I'm a dealer and I have 50 cars that have been sitting on the lot for a long time and I want to wholesale them. So I put them on a travel trailer and I go to usually a location that's out in the middle of nowhere because these places take a lot of land. So I'm near a city, but usually like 50 miles outside of the city. And then I, I, you know, I unload my cars and they go into these lanes. And then there's you know, there's this kind of phase set up time. So there's like a day or two where you set up and then the auction starts and then you have literally other dealers, kind of a big group of dealers walking down a lane and they're kind of like, all right, now I'm at car number 84, and it's a red, you know, Toyota Camry. Scot:     [08:44]    And then you have a little auction right there. And then someone went quote unquote wins it and then you're onto the next vehicle. And then, you know, the winners take all their cars back with them. You know, they'd load them up onto a travel trailer and they'd take them back. Yeah, yeah. And that's, you know, really there, you know, you're, you're kind of moving the car twice. You've got the super inefficient, you know, walking down a lane, it could be raining and you know you don't have, you know, an old nurse, there's almost no technology in these things, right? There's no alert that kind of says I've been looking for a 19, you know, a low mileage BMW or anything like that. Dan:    [09:18]    Yeah. And you know, that's really the core of the inefficiencies. So my co founder, Joe he was on the road three, four days a week, a hundreds of miles in different directions nobody at, at his, his lot doing what he needs to do to make money, which is selling vehicles. Dan:     [09:36]    And even when you get to the auctions, you know, multiple lanes, there could be five cars you want to buy and they're all running in five different lanes at the same time. Murphy's law kicks in, well, what, what are you going to do? So, so there's that efficiency. You know, a lot of times, you know, kind of the industry standards, 50% of the time the vehicles aren't selling at those physical auctions. So, you know, you go and you wait a week, it runs, it doesn't sell. Now as the seller, you're saying, okay, do I send this to a different auction and kind of Plinko it all the way through the system or do I let it sit there for another week and see what happens again? So, so there was just a ton of inefficiencies. And with mobile, mobile smartphones at the stage, they were at the adoption. Dan:     [10:21]    It's like, why, why are we not? Why, you know, why is no one done this? Why is nobody doing this? And why are they traveling all over the place, moving vehicles multiple times, just super inefficient and, and as time goes on and that vehicle's sitting on a lawn or you're moving at place to place the vehicles depreciating, things could happen to it. So our, our concept was this never has to leave the lot. It can stay on your lot. No one's moving it. No one's, you know, you don't have to worry about someone stealing a mirror off of it or denting it. It's, it's, it's there and we can, we can have it sold in 20 minutes. Scot:     [10:57]    Cool. and then so, so it's always smart to go try to disrupt something where you can kind of do a 10 x better user experience, it seems like. Yeah. Uber was genius or going after taxis because the tax experience was so bad and it still hasn't caught up, you know, so it definitely much better. It was so easy to provide a 10 x better experience. Dan:     [11:12]    And, you know, what, what Uber did a taxis we felt we could do to the auction industry, which, you know, really the, you know, the Internet era and Silicon Valley in New York City, you know, the wholesale market specifically, it was just very much a pass by, and it was, it was a lot of the big incumbents and not a lot of you know, it really wasn't that sexy silicon valley, a problem that people were trying to solve. You know, it was, it was a perfect Buffalo Tech you know, startup idea for us to go after. Scot:     [11:49]    Yeah. Yeah. We get the same thing. They're like, you know, the traditional vcs were like, you have employees, oh my God. But we don't invest in those types of businesses. Like, okay so less flash forward. It's five years later. You guys have had crazy success. You raised 150 million. That's not always the bar of being successful. Correct. But you've had a lot of success on the revenue growth and I don't know what you've give us an idea for the scale of the business, like how many cars are auctioned or, or anything like that. Dan:     [12:15]    Yeah. So, and we had some stuff out in the previous months selling over 20,000 vehicles a month. We have, you know, we're in, you know, about 115 hundred and 20 territories. We're well over 700 people total. And that's across from, from sales, through engineering, technology, things like that. Scot:     [12:38]    And you've so, so walk us through the, the kind of the new digital user experience. So I'm a dealer and I have the same 50 vehicles now. Do I list them? I think you guys have an option where you can even have a team come in and do the whole thing, right. Kind of a full service operation. Dan:     [12:53]    Yeah. And really iterating initially what we did was allowed the dealers to do with themselves. And you know, there was a lot of issues with that and created, you know, there, there wasn't really all that trust and transparency, which is what we really pride ourselves on. So kind of, you know, normal startup thing. People were, certain dealers were, oh I was too busy to list the cars or the kid I had hired to do it, he quit or he left or whatever. So were like unite. All right, great. So we're in, we're going to remove all excuses. We're going to hire someone and all they're going to do is show up on certain days and do condition reports. And, and it was really to keep the supply of inventory going in and the benefit of it was people are like, Oh, I love that you guys are doing the condition reports. Yeah. Scot: [13:40]    So buyer's side, there's consistency too, right? Right. So, you know, your definition of good, better, best or fine, very fine or a bad scratch, a good scratch, any of that stuff is going to be much more consistent than, than the actual seller. Dan:     [13:52]    Yeah. We, we try to be super, you know, very objective condition reports. We're not trying to make it look better or worse, we're just trying to call it for what it is. So we've built out, you know, a huge network of, of, of these inspectors now. And really it's, it's, it's the main way that we're doing a inspections and people just really like that they can trust in us and we can be that, that trusted source. And for anyone who knows the automotive industry, dealers rarely ever trust each other. Right? So that was a really huge benefit to that having those inspectors and having people with their, you know that are trained by us, that are using our software that's custom built to build the best condition reports in the industry. That's, that's really what we've done and it's, it's worked out really well. Dan:     [14:43]    It's not the pure software play that a silicon valley type company would want, but at the end of the day we're going to end up with the largest inspection network in the country. So so there are some real benefits that when you're dealing with these tangible physical assets. Scot:     [15:00]    Yeah, yeah. I think it gives I don't think the venture industry is woken up to it, but as a, as a software option or cloud computing is like lowered all barriers of entry, right? Two people can create almost anything. So the fact that you have these inspectors makes it that much less appealing to, to Stanford grads. You know, right now in comp side wanting to replicate your model, that's going to be like, Ooh, that's Achy at all. I don't want him, I don't want 700 inspectors or whatever the number is. Dan:     [15:25]    Right, right. Yeah. And you know, there's definitely, there's definitely cost to it and there's definitely the training and the onboarding and hiring and, you know, so it does, it does add a little bit of a hurdle for just a pure software play. Uh and we've, we've kind of gone, you know, we've done that already and we understand, you know, we understand where the benefits and where the issues are going one way versus the other. So but we've been really happy with it. Our dealers love it. So yeah, it's worked out really well. Scot:     [15:53]    Cool. So I've got my 50 vehicles, I've got your guys coming every week to Kinda like help me wholesale. I fly, I got the chalk mark on him or something, or I give them the vins, they do the inspections. Then I think they would imagine, you know, list, you know, I'm a, I'm an ecommerce guy, so I'm easy commerce vernacular that may not be right. But in the Ebay, Amazon world, we would list the product out there. And then the buyers probably are, you know, there's probably some cadence or the buyers kind of come in. The buyers I imagine would have alerts and that kind of deal. So they buy the vehicles or, yeah, yeah. Dan:     [16:25]    And I can walk through there real quickly. So we, we have scheduled set up with our, with our dealers who are selling our condition. Inspectors go in, they get the keys, they get the price, they go out, they do full condition report takes, you know, 10, 15 minutes. And once they have that, there's different options where they can let it run live. They can save it to run later. And so, but if they say, hey, I'm going to run this auction, now that auction instantly gets, gets created based on buyers filters. The buyers will be notified saying, hey, here's a new auction. It's this vehicle. They go in 20 minute long auction and they can bid right through the app. In 20 minutes we have a high bidder. Dan:     [17:09]    And based on what the sellers reserve prices, that vehicle can be sold in 20 minutes. And and we can, so, you know, a whole bunch of them within that time period. So, so that's really the, the process and, you know, post-sale, we also handle everything from titles and payments and we have integrations in the floor plan financing. So we have those options. We have transport that we do as well. So we've really gone from just being a marketplace to adding all of these different components to be a true end to end solution for these, for these dealers. Scot:     [17:46]    That's the big trend in market places now is Opendoor has changed the real estate industry by, you know, going in and replaced Zillow would introduce, you know, the buyer and the seller. And then now open doors actually going in, you know, essentially even acquiring like part of the this stuff. Yeah, the managed is, yeah. Cool. I could talk for hours about this, but that's a really good overview. I want to make sure we have time. I noticed on your linkedin you do a lot of other cool tech techie stuff. So I saw you're involved with some blockchain and then there's something called drone energy, which kind of caught my, my attention would explain some of those, those things that you're doing on the side. Dan:     [18:18]    Yeah. So you know, in the local startup community I've been involved for for a real long time and I always like helping people who have ideas and they may not notice start, they may need, need introductions of I've been doing that, you know, probably almost the last 10 years, just really trying to help connect people. So, so I, I tend to have people come to me pretty often with ideas and I try to help them out where I can. So you know, a couple of years ago really started looking at there's a great book called the master switch and it's about information information technologies over time have been very centralized and then get de-centralized and then research, centralize and decentralize. And you know, you, you look at a lot of this stuff going on with Facebook and others in terms of privacy and data and, and things like that. Dan:     [19:11]    And we're in a very centralized, where a couple of really a couple of companies own all the data and all the power. And I think we're kind of now going, you know, the next step is to get into more decentralized. So as I learned about a theory and blockchain and a whole bunch of other stuff, it really clicked that hey, there's to be some new model where people can own their own data, they can monetize their own data, they have that control over it. How do we look at money on the Internet? And so there's a lot of really interesting things that getting into blockchain and cryptocurrencies really got excited about it. And so within Buffalo, we started this blockchain group where we were meeting every week and giving talks on, on different aspects of it. So I got really involved in that. Dan:     [20:01]     Drone energy is a mining company where they've shipping containers and they have this patented shipping container style where they can build, you know, there's, especially in northeast, there's a lot of these either cogeneration plans or you know, even just old factories that can't maintain their base load because manufacturing is demand has gone down in those areas. So there's a lot of excess power is one thing I learned a lot of power that exists just can't be used. And so this is a way where you can, by having a whole bunch of bitcoin miners and cryptocurrency miners running miners being very highly intensive computers that, that are computing at, at you know, for that very one specific task. So, but it requires a lot of power and so they can go and help maintain a base load so that a factory can run and doesn't have to batch up work or a cogeneration plant can turn on and maintain a base load. Dan:     [21:01]    And so, so that's really what drone is doing. And so I got involved with them and you know, made a little investment in them and I've kinda been mentoring them along with there's a couple other marketplaces as well since since I've been involved in marketplaces people who have kind of reached out, whether it's selling used manufacturing materials or whether it's produce that's you know, going to be thrown in the dumpster, that there's brokers that are just literally, they get this, you know, what's called number two and number three produce that they just have to throw out. So how do you build a marketplace around that for restaurants and others who don't need the most perfectly looking tomato if you're going to be making sauce? Right. so I've been helping these types of companies you know, through just kind of the idea and, and getting, helping to get the business going and help them think about a lot of the things that I've a lot of the mistakes I've made through ACV and the things that we did wrong that, you know, I can kind of impart some of that, that wisdom to show him some of the scar tissue and hopefully they, they make different mistakes and not the same mistakes. Scot:    [22:15]    Yeah. Or You, you tell them all the mistakes and they just go do them again or they just say, yeah, don't do that. Dan:     [22:21]    Yeah, I told you, I told you, I told you the stove is hot. Don't touch it. Scot:     [22:26]    Cool. one question I've been dying to ask is what does the ACV and ACV auctions stand for? Dan:     [22:31]    No, that stands for actual cash value. So it's an industry term. And when we initially started our, our main goal was live appraisals. And so it was going to be you know, someone comes in, they want to trade in their vehicle and there's not a lot of trust in that process of, okay, let me go talk to the manager behind the glass. Okay, here's what we can give it, give you for your car. And they're like, well, Kelly Blue Book says this. And they say, well, Kelly blue book doesn't write a check. Dan:     [23:01]    We do. So it was just this very non transparent process that a lot of people didn't like. So we, we looked at it and said, hey, we can solve this problem of vehicles going to auctions and dealers having to go to all these different options to get their inventory. But at the same time we could also help the, the franchise dealer by saying, Hey, you can provide this transparency at this stage. What you can do as they're going to test drive their next vehicle. You'd take some photos, you do a condition report, and you can send that to auction. So by the time they get back from their test drive, you can say, Hey, I know you wanted $10,000 for this vehicle, but we had 12 bitters and we got you 9,500. That's the market value and it's a much easier conversation to have. Dan:     [23:46]    So that's initially how we you know, kind of we're starting and that number that they have is the ACV that that's their actual cash value for when they're going to go wholesale it or sell it at auction. That's the number that they think they can cash out for. So we were kind of the guaranteed EQ actual cash value for, yeah. Scot:     [24:10]    Yeah. The so a lot of marketplaces, one of the ancillary business models is the data they throw off. Do you guys have you guys close the loop on that? Where if I'm about to list a vehicle, I'm a dealer and I'm going to list a vehicle and I've got a crazy reserve on it. You probably have enough data now where you can say, hey, that, yeah, we're happy to list this for a $20,000 reserve. But we, you know, vehicles like this on our platform have sold for 12, five or, yeah. Dan:     [24:33]    And we, and we've, we've built out pricing in understanding what a vehicle is going to be priced at or should it be priced at. And it's, it's a really delicate conversation to, you have to have a, because you're telling someone they're wrong and you don't really know how to price your vehicles and dealers feel that they're really good at pricing their vehicles. So you know, so a lot of times, so we try to take, you know, part of an approach where it's, you know, we're providing them you know, what we believe in is more of a recommendation, a and not necessarily a heavy handed approach. And so we use that with our people in the field to help show them, hey, if you, if you price it in this way and you price it appropriately, you'll actually do more than if you price it aggressively. Dan:     [25:20]    And everyone says, oh, this person's nuts. I'm not even gonna pay attention to this option. So, so there's a lot of those different dynamics that, that we work through. So it's currently, it's kind of a blend of the, you know, machine learning and intelligence from that perspective. And you partner that up with you know, a person that's having a conversation and explaining it and not just, you know, hey, this is what the machine says, so that this is what you have to do because that, that doesn't work in this, in this industry. Scot:     [25:48]    Very cool. I could go on for another hour or so. So it's been good. We'll have to have you back on. Well, we didn't even get to talk about where you stand on the future of vehicles or any of that and that good stuff. So we'll, we'll leave folks waiting for that. Dan:    [25:59]    Awesome. Scot:     [26:00]    Last question, if folks want to follow you online, do you, are you a linkedin person, Twitter, Facebook publisher, where, where should folks go? Dan:    [26:07]    Yeah, so I'm a, I'm on Linkedin, but I'm also more active on Twitter. I'm not really on Facebook. So magnus chef, m, a, G, N, a. C. H, e. F, a, is my Twitter handle and that's where I'm, I'm most active on, on social. Scot:     [26:22]    Cool. Thanks for coming on the show, Dan. We really appreciate it and really enjoyed the conversation. Dan:     [26:25]    Great. Thanks for having me.

Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast. I am Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so they can be more effective in their jobs. Joining us today is Christopher Kingman, director of international sales enablement for TransUnion. Chris has extensive sales enablement experience in training and mentoring and increasing seller efficiency and effectiveness, as well as problem-solving to increase sales productivity. In your opinion, what does the optimal sales enablement organizational structure look like? Who and what have you found ideal to report into and how have you found it ideal to have the team structured? Christopher Kingman: I think optimally it should report into either an operational function or a sales function, either to an executive sales leader, somebody who oversees an entire organization, versus a portion of it. That way they can make sure that your activities, your interest, represent the entire organization. It’s easy to get it skewed or if it reports into something arbitrarily like marketing. I just don’t think it should report into marketing because it can sort of skew towards representing and enforcing marketing based initiatives versus “all sales is what we do.” Anything in that structure is fine, I just think it needs to be organizationally independent, but report into a director or higher depending on the size of your organization, VPs, etc. I report now into the VP of sales strategy and ops, so we cover all international sales, period. That’s a great place to sit, that way, all of my action is in the name of revenue attainment globally. After that, I think it’s up to the organization, but anything that is sales-supporting should and can report to enablement. It’s up to the organization what it does. For example, sales comp I don’t think is a sales enablement function but it does report up to the corporate sales strategy and operations. You don’t have a customer service comp person, you just have people that do payroll, so sales comps should just roll into that, in my opinion. Everything else largely can or should report up into sales enablement and the only other thing I would think is customer service, and that’s if you have B2B and B2C or if you service end-users in some way. I think that can sit outside as more of its own thing, as well. I’ve seen it roll up under enablement and not, and I do have a preference. I wouldn’t want to have it under my organization because I just wouldn’t want to deal with it. But other than that I think it’s fine, I think it’s technology, support, training, development, sales readiness – all of those are core aspects. Everything else is negligible and I think you can make the argument that if it’s in the support or development or along the lines of revenue attainment, enablement could have even a dotted line to it. SS: Interesting. As you mentioned, you’re currently responsible for international enablement, so tell us a little bit about this role and some of the areas that are unique to sales enablement practitioners that actually have a global scope the way you do. CK: Sure. My role focuses on aligning in-region. So, TransUnion has the umbrella, we have international, we have U.S., and then we actually have health care as a separate one, so my role oversees the international portion. Basically what I do is align both regional and corporate resources to meet both the individual seller and the global revenue goals. I work with the executive leadership within these regions or countries to identify the roadblocks to revenue attainment and then I align their resources, corporate or U.S.-based resources, and then self-source or build a lot of things to solve these problems. My scope really just spans the entire organization, and frequently the challenges that we see involve me, as I talked about, breaking down the silos because that problem is just the norm, it’s what everybody is used to. It is like, I work in this little bubble here and Shawnna works in this little bubble here and I don’t really need to consult with her because this is my bubble. That’s a lot of my job, is just going in acting as an internal consultant, learning about all of these challenges, and then sort of bringing everybody to the table, bringing best practices, or really what works even from any other region, or we design a hybrid model. I would say, what’s unique to me is that every region has its own instance of Salesforce, so I have to work with that. They have their own billing systems, they have their own sales cycles, they have their own products, so we have a crazy amount of products within every region. And things that you would never think of. For example, you’re from the U.S., you know Kelly Blue Book, right? We own the version of Kelly Blue Book in South Africa. You would never guess that – it has nothing do with your credit, but we own that product and we sell it. So it’s sort of understanding markets and trends and then understanding within each market, all of the pressures. So, for example, in the UK – I’ve been involved in the UK for about six or seven months now – GDPR is a massive pressure here, it’s impacting everything, every decision we make, not just with customers but integration. So, when a U.S. company buys a UK company, there’s a lot of things that we have to be cautious of. And then you have Brexit, which is just sort of hovering over everything that we do. So, the interesting thing is, I go to regions and they all have similar challenges, their pricing is messed up or contracts are bad or their CRM is this or sellers can’t do that. The individual fixes are all unique and bespoke sometimes but they all draw upon experiences from everywhere else. SS: That’s very cool. You mentioned being kind of an internal consultant. How do you go about – and I recall you speaking about this at Forrester – how you go about breaking down some of those barriers with the folks that you’re working with internally? CK: So, I do have the very business-y approach to it, but when I was in the U.S. I did the same function and I really just like to ask two questions to a lot of people. It’s sort of disarming, especially when you go into a country and they don’t know you or it’s such a recent acquisition that they’re a little shaky. I like to ask people what sucks; what sucks about their job, what sucks about their work, what’s impacting them. It’s a great way to get a laugh out of somebody. It’s very disarming, they are like, “wait a minute”. I certainly don’t come in a suit and tie. I mean, I’m wearing a T-shirt right now, but I like to ask those questions because it just takes a weight off of people. They really unload to you, especially if you ask them that question something like three times in six months. They know they can just say, “this is so awful”. And they just word vomit on you – “here’s everything that’s wrong”, or “here are the challenges that I’m facing”. It’s great to hear it from one person but what’s really great about asking that question is that you consistently will get a lot of the same answers just in different people’s voices. You take anecdotal, subjective information, or qualitative information, you then quantify it and put some scores to it, prioritize it, rank it, and suddenly you have a list of very real problems that are impacting your business that are really weighing on your people enough for them to tell you that this is why their job sucks or how they could be so much more successful if this thing would go away. The interesting thing is it could be just the language, the legal ease, that a contract is just not conducive to renegotiate in term. If you didn’t know any better, you would never think that’s a real issue or an impactful issue. But then when you dig in and talk to two or three people and they say, “for me to get two contracts out in a day, I have to take all day to do it”, suddenly that’s a very big issue. You go down these rabbit holes with these people and then you start going department to department and you start peeling back the onion. You realize that there are some major challenges here, some major issues going on, or there’s a systemic challenge or process or problem that now we have to go prioritize and tackle. We’ve got to bring in resources and it’s easier to get to that by just sitting and talking, person-to-person, than filling out a questionnaire or anything else. Maybe a consulting firm would come in and formally approach you and ask you a bunch of questions. The second question I ask is, “what would make this better?” I like to say, “if you had a magic lamp and rubbed it, what would make this better, what would make it go away?” People tend to have answers to the problem. It just gets lost and people feel like no one listens to them or they say, “well, I’m just the sales guy, nobody cares what I have to say”. The reality is that your people always have the answers to your challenges. You just have to get it out of them, you have to make an environment where they’re empowered to share that with you or feel capable of even sharing it with you or willing to or motivated to. I found that this overly simplistic approach has gotten me to unearth a lot of the challenges that really impact everything. SS: Thanks for listening.

The Important Differences Between Price and Value

Real Estate Podcast with Scott Fuller

When you sell your home, you need to understand the difference between its value and its price. Here’s how. When you sell your house here in the East Bay market, it’s important to understand the difference between value and price. Value is merely a function of supply and demand, while pricing is a function of how to market a property based on the value. Take a car for example; buyers go to Kelly Blue Book to get the value. They aggregate different sales of comparable cars and consider all the features, age, mileage, and benefits to give you a value range of what the car might be worth. Translating it to real estate is the exact same concept. “A HOME’S VALUE IS DETERMINED BY RECENT COMPARABLE SALES.” To get the value of a property, we consider how it compares to other properties that have recently sold, the current supply and demand, and other similar items. The value is based off other comparable properties that have sold, just like cars. From there, you’ll use this knowledge as a marketing strategy to determine what you’ll actually list the home for. To determine the value range you should list it, you want to determine what’s going on in the current market. How much demand is there and how much inventory is there? This will help you determine whether you should market the home on the lower end of the value range or the higher end. If you’re thinking of selling your home this year and you’d like to discuss the value of your home and the best way to market it from a pricing standpoint, give me a call or send me an email. I’d be glad to help you.

That figure marks your rock bottom "last resort" should you not get any bites. Next, collect eight more price figures via three specific sources ...1) The high/low price from Kelly Blue Book (https://www.kbb.com/) 2) Three prices on Craigslist (https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=008732268318596706411:nhtd4cwl5xu&q=2012%20Ducati%20Monster%20796&oq=2012%20Ducati%20Monster%20796&gs_l=partner.3...5282.11512.0.11689.23.15.0.8.8.0.153.950.14j1.15.0.gsnos%2Cn%3D13...0.6288j2914198j28..1ac.1.25.partner..8.15.453.0RHATwxeT4k#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=2012%20Ducati%20Monster%20796&gsc.page=1) which best reflect the condition of your bike 3) Repeat step 2 but use eBay (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X2012+ducati+monster+796+20th+anniversary.TRS0&_nkw=2012+ducati+monster+796+20th+anniversary&_sacat=0) instead of C-ListNow enter each figure you've collected onto a separate line and use this calculator (https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/statistics/average.php) to average them against one another. The resulting number is worth considering, the lowest value being your "floor". We're confident it'll get snatched up either by a collector or a respectful buyer.// That's About It:TRO is seeking sponsors for this podcast.
