Zoom doble dorado — Huawei Pura 80 Ultra

Huawei Pura 80 Ultra sorprende con cámara dual periscópica, zoom óptico conmutable y diseño premium resistente   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  El Huawei Pura 80 Ultra acaba de iniciar su gira global desde Dubái y busca volver a los bolsillos de fotógrafos aficionados y profesionales. Su secreto está en un módulo periscópico con dos lentes y un prisma que se desplaza con motor microscópico para alternar entre retratos a 3,7 aumentos y tomas lejanas a 10 aumentos sin perder nitidez. El sensor de cincuenta megapíxeles y 1,28 pulgadas recoge más luz que muchas cámaras compactas, y el procesado XMAGE afina color y contraste. Además, la pantalla OLED de 6,8 pulgadas alcanza 3 000 nits y la batería admite carga rápida de 100 vatios. El reto: convencer a usuarios que dependen de Google para que prueben un móvil sin esos servicios.  Falta Google, pero el zoom físico cautiva a curiosos globales  El diseño del Pura 80 Ultra despierta opiniones encontradas desde la primera mirada. El círculo dorado que rodea las cámaras parece la carátula de un reloj suizo y muestra la precisión mecánica que Huawei va a poner en cada foto. Dentro del módulo vive un motor tan pequeño como un grano de arena que mueve un prisma y decide qué lente iluminar el sensor. A 3,7 aumentos los rostros lucen fondos suavemente comprimidos, como en el cine. Con 10 aumentos el teléfono se vuelve un mini telescopio capaz de leer letreros lejanos. Todo ocurre sin recortes digitales ni trucos de software. La experiencia se siente tangible, incluso se oye un leve clic al cambiar de foco.  Pero todo avance trae preguntas. El Pura 80 Ultra llega sin compatibilidad directa con Google Maps, YouTube ni Gmail debido al veto comercial de Estados Unidos. Para muchas personas esas apps son tan comunes como el desayuno, y AppGallery aún no ofrece sustitutos idénticos. Además, la versión internacional renuncia al 5 G y a la conexión satelital que sí tiene el modelo chino; en zonas rurales la señal puede flaquear justo cuando quieras compartir tus fotos. El precio también asusta: parte de 1 400 dólares, unos 1 280 euros. Por último, aunque el procesador Kirin 9020 rinde bien cada día, los juegos más exigentes corren con más fotogramas en chips rivales de tres nanómetros.  Frente a esas barreras, Huawei confía en dos cartas clave. La primera es la experiencia diaria: EMUI 15 fluye sin tropiezos y la batería de 5 170 mAh llega al final de la jornada gracias a la pantalla LTPO que baja hasta 1 hercio. Cuando hace falta energía, la carga de 100 vatios llena 50 % en diez minutos, y la carga inalámbrica de 80 vatios evita cables. La segunda carta es la calidad fotográfica demostrable. En pruebas especializadas el Pura 80 Ultra leyó texto a treinta metros con nitidez, superando al Vivo X200 Ultra y al iPhone 16 Pro Max en zoom extremo. El sensor principal de una pulgada con apertura variable logra escenas nocturnas con menos ruido que sus rivales. Quien priorice la imagen va a encontrar aquí un compañero creativo, siempre que acepte vivir sin Google.  Huawei lleva más de diez años marcando tendencias en fotografía móvil: introdujo el modo noche avanzado y popularizó el zoom periscópico con el P30 Pro. Tras perder la alianza con Leica, invirtió en desarrollar su propia óptica y algoritmos bajo la marca XMAGE. En el Pura 80 Ultra ese trabajo se refleja en un rango dinámico de dieciséis pasos, cifra habitual en cámaras de cine. El teléfono también estrena cristal Kunlun de segunda generación, cuya dureza certificada duplica la resistencia a arañazos. Además, incluye un botón inteligente que hace de lector de huella y disparador rápido, ideal para creadores que necesitan capturar el momento. Todo esto se monta en un cuerpo de aluminio con certificación IP68/IP69 y un acabado que recuerda a la alta relojería, disponible en negro dorado y otros colores.   El Pura 80 Ultra muestra que Huawei sigue firme en la cima de la fotografía móvil: zoom mecánico dual, sensor gigante y diseño de lujo. Si dependes de las apps de Google, quizá no sea tu elección. Si buscas la mejor cámara posible en un teléfono, este modelo va a convertirse en tu aliado. Escúchame en Flash Diario para más detalles mañana.  Huawei Pura 80 Ultra ofrece zoom mecánico dual, sensor gigante, batería rápida; sacrificas Google, ganas fotos asombrosas, ¿te animas hoy?—

En el podcast de esta semana, vamos a comentar las noticias de la semana y en esta ocasión, tenemos noticias muy interesantes sobre la posible presentación de 19 nuevos Mac en los próximos meses.Las apuestas más seguras hablan de simples actualizaciones de procesador para dar cabida al nuevo M5 y el año próximo a la familia M6. Las apuestas más arriesgadas tienen como protagonista el futuro nuevo Macbook con A18Pro y con opciones de color en su exterior de plástico.Como adelantábamos en el MI de este Viernes, el futuro iPhone 17 Pro Max estrenará la mayor batería ever en un iPhone. La nueva configuración estructural permite una mayor batería que según Apple, podría llegar a las 35 horas de uso normal.Proyectos plegables que parecen confirmarse y otros que parecen suspenderse. El iPhold sigue estando de moda y el iPad plegable se estanca. Parece lo más lógico en cuanto a nicho de usuarios y precio de venta. Comentaremos nuestras impresiones sobre estos productos y nuestra posible intención de compra.Apple Watch y AirPods, siguen siendo los productos más vendidos en sus categorías, aunque se oigan quejas al respecto sobre su escasa innovación en los últimos años, siguen siendo los productos más demandados por los compradores.También tenemos nuestra batería de noticias cortas que no puedes perderte y una primicia un poco terrorífica. Si oyes nuestro podcast hasta el final, podrás escuchar de primera mano la desagradable primicia que nos compartió Jose Luís.

Un épisode châpitré : profitez-en !Présentation : Benjamin Vincent avec la participation de Gilles Dounès, ex-rédacteur en chef de MacPlus et co-auteur de “iPod backstage“ (Dunod).Au sommaire de cet épisode 238 : La nouvelle gamme iPhone 17 devrait être dévoilée par Apple à la rentrée et donc dans un peu plus de deux mois. A l'approche de la keynote de septembre, les rumeurs se multiplient sur les caractéristiques des nouveaux iPhone et notamment des deux modèles “Pro“ : l'iPhone 17 Pro et l'iPhone 17 Pro Max avec, cette semaine, plusieurs précisions sur les rumeurs qui concernent les quatre nouveautés majeures attendues pour la partie audio-vidéo : c'est l'info de la semaine.L'événement de la semaine ne concerne pas directement Apple, quoi que... puisqu'il s'agit d'IA et de la décision d'un tribunal de Californie après plainte contre Anthropic, l'éditeur de Claude, concurrent de chatGPT. Le tribunal a estimé que l'utilisation d'oeuvres protégées par le droit d'auteur pour entraîner l'IA d'Anthropic... relevait de l'usage équitable, autrement dit d'utilisations sans autorisation mais dans un cadre légal. Le jugement pourrait faire jurisprudence et on s'en inquiète, évidemment.Plusieurs infos au programme du JT de la semaine : l'iPhone 17 Air quasiment confirmé dans du code Apple, des détails sur son probable système de refroidissement qui serait une première sur iPhone, une référence au AirTag 2 dans iOS 18.6, des détails sur l'Apple Watch Ultra 3 avec une date de disponibilité potentielle à la rentrée et, enfin, un rappel de cinq batteries par Anker face à un risque d'incendie.Enfin, chers soutiens, nous l'enregistrons pour vous : le bonus hebdo exclusif. Cette semaine, suite du "retour sur" déjà consacré à la forme que pourrait prendre le premier produit chatGPT imaginé par Jony Ive et Sam Altman : dans le bonus, nous revenons sur le rétropédalage opéré par OpenAI à propos de l'acquisition de "IO", la startup de Jony Ive (pour 6,4 milliards de $) : toute mention du rapprochement a disparu du site d'OpenAI à cause d'une bataille judiciaire aux Etats-Unis à propos de la propriété de la marque, contestée par une autre entreprise, "iyO", avec laquelle plusieurs membres de l'équipe d'IO avaient été en contact.À mardi prochain, 1er juillet pour l'épisode 239 dont l'enregistrement sera à suivre en direct sur sur X, YouTube et LinkedIn Live à un horaire probablement plus tardif que d'habitude : nous vous le préciserons ici et sur X d'ici là.Hébergé par Ausha.

Soutenez-nous sur patreon.com/iweek !Voici l'épisode 235 d'iWeek (la semaine Apple):WWDC 2025: les annonces prévues… ou pasEnregistré mardi 3 juin 2025 à 17 h 30, enregistrement accessible en direct sur X, YouTube, Twitch et LinkedIn Live. Présentation : Fabrice Neuman avec la participation de Benjamin Vincent, François Le Truédic et Clément Sauvage.Dans cet épisode, nous revenons d'abord sur le mystérieux objet IA né de la collaboration entre Jony Ive et Sam Altman, désormais aussi soutenu par Laurene Powell Jobs. Nous évoquons aussi Sky, cette application dont les premiers aperçus laissent entrevoir ce que pourrait être une IA véritablement intégrée à macOS.Le cœur de l'épisode est consacré à la WWDC 2025 : les attentes sont énormes. Quel sera le format choisi par Apple: présentations en direct et contenus préenregistrés? Nous abordons aussi la potentielle nouvelle numérotation des systèmes (iOS, macOS, watchOS…), le rôle central de l'interface baptisée « Solarium » visant à harmoniser l'expérience visuelle sur l'ensemble des appareils, ainsi que de la compatibilité d'iOS 26 avec des modèles plus anciens comme l'iPhone 12 Pro Max. Un point particulier est consacré au nom de macOS, avec la tradition californienne comme fil rouge (et les paris autour du prochain Tahoe).N'oublions pas Apple Intelligence : Comment Apple va-t-elle se sortir du bourbier ?

In this must-listen episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, host Sean V. Bradley, CSP, and co-host LA Williams sit down with Shep Hyken, the internationally renowned customer service and customer experience expert, best-selling author, and keynote speaker, to explore the critical role exceptional customer experience plays in today's automotive industry. "They're not just comparing you to another dealer. They're going to compare you to the best experience they ever had." — Shep Hyken As the market navigates post-pandemic shifts and economic challenges like high interest rates and limited inventory, Shep shares actionable strategies that dealerships can implement right now to stand out. From customer engagement to loyalty-building techniques, Shep dives deep into what it takes to create an unforgettable experience at every customer touchpoint. "You must model the behavior you want others to do toward others." — Shep Hyken Listen in to hear why focusing on existing customers, embracing innovative tools like Podium, and modernizing your approach to customer service can lead to massive revenue growth. Are you prepared to elevate your dealership's customer experience and boost retention in today's competitive market? Tune in to find out how to turn service into a powerful driver of long-term success.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Enhancing customer retention is often more beneficial and cost-effective than solely focusing on acquiring new business. ✅ Leveraging technology and AI, such as Podium, can significantly improve customer interactions and streamline dealership operations. ✅ Maintaining a positive work culture among employees directly influences the quality of customer service delivered. ✅ Leading dealerships prioritize creating a seamless and consistent experience across all customer touchpoints, setting them apart in service delivery. About Shep Hyken ​Shep Hyken is a globally recognized customer service and experience expert, acclaimed keynote speaker, and New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. As the Chief Amazement Officer of Shepard Presentations, he has dedicated his career to helping organizations build loyal relationships with their customers and employees.​ Since founding Shepard Presentations in 1983, Shep has worked with over 1,200 clients, ranging from Fortune 100 companies to small businesses, across various industries including retail, healthcare, technology, and financial services.

His articles have been featured in hundreds of publications, and he is a regular contributor to Forbes.​ Shep is also the creator of The Customer Focus™ program, designed to help organizations develop a customer service culture and loyalty mindset. Through his work, he emphasizes that customer service is not just a department but a philosophy that should permeate every aspect of an organization.​   Navigating the Automotive Customer Experience: Embracing AI and Building Loyalty Key Takeaways Customer Satisfaction and Experience are Distinct: Understanding the difference and focusing on both can elevate a dealership from best in class to world class. Leveraging Existing Customer Relationships: Prioritizing current customer engagement and retention is more cost-effective and profitable than focusing solely on new lead acquisition. Artificial Intelligence as a Game-Changer: AI innovations are transforming the dealership landscape by enhancing customer interactions and streamlining operations. Enhancing the Customer Experience in Automotive Retail In the rapidly evolving automotive industry, dealerships must adapt their strategies to exceed customer expectations. Sean V. Bradley and Shep Hyken dive into the intricacies of customer satisfaction and experience, two interrelated yet distinct components that every dealership should master. According to Hyken, "The way that whole thing is handled, is it easy? Is it hassle-free?" Such questions underscore the need for seamless web interfaces and responsive sales teams to create an unparalleled service atmosphere. Customer experience encompasses every interaction a consumer has with a dealership, from visiting the website to consulting with a salesperson. For car dealerships aiming for world-class status, it's crucial to transcend industry standards and look outside the industry for inspiration. As Hyken wisely notes, "They're going to compare you to the best experience they ever had." This calls for analyzing experiences provided by leaders like Amazon and Walmart to ensure dealerships offer frictionless, memorable interactions that build long-term loyalty. Retention vs. Acquisition: The Loyalty Revenue Stream Prioritizing existing customers over acquiring new ones can seem counterintuitive, yet it's a strategic pivot that aligns with both customer retention and profitability. As discussed by Sean V. Bradley, focusing on your current customer base can lead to higher conversion rates and increased revenue. "NADA says that a prior customer is a 65% closing ratio and a much higher gross profit," he remarks, emphasizing a shift towards maintaining strong relationships with your existing clientele. Moreover, service departments play a pivotal role. With a "service customer to your point is seven times as likely to purchase a vehicle if they service a car," embracing service excellence not only ensures immediate customer satisfaction but also strengthens their connection to the brand, making them more likely to return for future purchases. The foundational principle is clear: solidify customer loyalty through consistent, exceptional service, thereby reducing churn and boosting long-term profitability. The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Transforming Dealerships Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to reshape traditional dealership models by optimizing customer interactions and operational efficiencies. Shep Hyken highlights AI's potential in generating personalized and high-quality customer interactions. "AI needs to be smart enough to not give the wrong answer," Hyken advocates, outlining the balance between maintaining human oversight and deploying AI for scalable customer service solutions. Podium's AI-powered platforms offer tools that handle after-hours inquiries, schedule test drives, and maintain conversational consistency across multiple platforms, ensuring a seamless transition between digital and in-person interactions. In an age where most touchpoints before a sale are digital, embedding AI in CRM systems elevates customer experiences. As Bradley affirms, "If your AI is integrated with your CRM, if your AI is integrated with your online reputation strategy…it is next level." By streamlining these processes, dealerships can enhance engagement, nurture relationships, and ultimately drive more sales.   The automotive industry stands at a pivotal juncture where transformation is not just necessary but imperative. By understanding the nuances between customer service and experience, fostering robust relationships with existing customers, and embracing cutting-edge technologies like AI, dealerships can not only survive the intricacies of the modern market but truly thrive in it. The insights shared by industry experts provide a roadmap to not only meet but exceed customer expectations, ensuring loyalty and profitability in uncertain times.   Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Bradley and Tianna Mick, aka "T Got Your Keys," dive deep into the powerful strategies that can elevate your career in automotive sales. They reveal the game-changing steps sales professionals need to take to treat car sales not just as a job, but as a personal business venture. "Car sales is like owning your own business, but almost nobody does because it's not easy." - Sean V. Bradley Discover how to develop a strong personal brand, leverage cutting-edge digital tools like ChatGPT and Canva to create impactful logos and identities, and implement a holistic online and offline marketing strategy that drives success. This episode challenges you to move beyond the dealership's foot traffic and start building a loyal clientele through proactive effort and innovation. "If you're not consistently building your brand, you're gonna lose those customers and you're never gonna have the chance again." - Tianna Mick Sean and Tianna take a closer look at why personal brand identity is crucial in today's highly competitive landscape, and they share success stories from top industry figures like Cody Carter and Chrissy Burton. Plus, get the inside scoop on tools like Podium's conversational AI and how they can help you create a seamless, relational customer experience that leads to both increased sales and brand loyalty. "This is a 24/7 thing. I'm really committed to it, and you need to start today." - Tianna Mick Ready to level up your career? Tune in to learn the strategies that will empower you to take control of your success, engage with customers in a more meaningful way, and ultimately stand out in the automotive sales world.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Personal Branding: Develop a unique brand identity within the dealership's brand to stand out and personalize the customer experience. ✅ Strategic Marketing: Utilize tools like Canva, ChatGPT, and social media platforms for strategic and cohesive brand development and customer engagement. ✅ Innovative Customer Experience: Build customer loyalty through personalized post-sale experiences and community engagement initiatives. ✅ Investment: Consider investing personally in marketing strategies if dealership funding is unavailable; transformation starts with self-belief and strategic planning. ✅ Use of AI Tools: Harness AI-driven platforms such as Podium to enhance efficiency in lead conversion and customer engagement.   About Tianna Mick aka T Got Your Keys Tianna Mick (T Got Your Keys): Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space. With a deep-rooted passion for engaging with customers through social media and digital platforms, she leverages cutting-edge tools and strategies to maximize customer engagement. Tianna is an enthusiastic champion of dealership success, providing valuable insights on sales through various media, including the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast.   Building a Personal Brand in Automotive Sales: Unlocking Success Through Innovation In the high-stakes world of automotive sales, standing out is paramount. As revealed in the dynamic conversation between Sean V. Bradley and Tianna Mick, the path to extraordinary success involves treating car sales like your own business. This article explores how building a personal brand can transform your career, leveraging technology, creativity, and strategic investment. Key Takeaways Developing a personal brand within the dealership's brand is crucial for differentiation and success in automotive sales. Proactively investing in your own marketing efforts can yield significant returns in terms of sales performance. Utilizing artificial intelligence and technology streamlines marketing processes and enhances customer engagement. The Power of Personal Branding in Automotive Sales Creating a personal brand within the automotive industry isn't just a fancy trend—it's a necessity for standing out in a crowded marketplace. Both Sean V. Bradley and Tianna Mick emphasize that most salespeople miss the mark by not establishing their own brand identity. The traditional method of relying solely on dealership leads and foot traffic is becoming obsolete. With technology at our fingertips and the automotive landscape rapidly evolving, sales professionals must differentiate themselves. As Sean notes, "Car sales is like owning your own business." Tianna Mick illustrates this by sharing her journey with the brand "T got your keys," which reflects her personality and values. She highlights the importance of colors, logos, and slogans, as these elements create a lasting impression. "You want to be on the top of mind of all of your customers and all of your prospects' minds," Tianna asserts, underscoring the enduring influence a well-crafted brand can have. Besides personalization, the strategic use of social media amplifies reach and builds credibility. "You pick a brand name that's memorable," Tianna advises, while emphasizing the seamless integration of brand elements across various platforms to maintain consistency and professional growth. Leveraging Technology and AI in Personal Branding Incorporating technology, especially artificial intelligence, is a game-changer for any salesperson looking to elevate their brand. From utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT for creating brand names and logos to integrating them with design platforms like Canva, the possibilities are endless. Sean indicates, "ChatGPT can do this, you know, for free or for practically free," promoting efficiency in establishing your brand. Moreover, AI offers innovative ways to manage customer interactions—Podium's conversational AI being a prime example. For salespeople, AI provides the opportunity to remain engaged with potential customers even during off-hours, ensuring no sales opportunity is missed. As the conversation reveals, AI doesn't just automate processes; it complements your efforts, acting as an omnipresent team member that keeps your operations running smoothly, freeing you to focus on delivering exceptional service and building relationships. The strategy extends to harnessing analytics for targeted marketing. As Tianna experienced, integrating a platform like "Build a Brand" with CRM systems ensures every customer interaction is optimized for success. The data-driven approach not only refines marketing strategies but also enhances service delivery, creating a competitive edge in the bustling automotive market. Investment Strategies for Personal Branding Success Realizing your brand's full potential often requires a financial commitment. Investing in marketing materials and tools is integral to expanding visibility and reinforcing your brand in customers' minds. While discussing budget allocations, Sean shares a proactive approach, encouraging salespeople to approach dealership management for marketing support, emphasizing a shared investment in achieving common goals. "Why don't people lift weights? Because they're heavy," Sean humorously notes, driving the point that investing might seem daunting but is ultimately rewarding. But it's not just about asking for funds; it's about presenting a strategic plan that illustrates potential returns. Tianna supports, "The more car sales I sell you, you get. But I get it," illuminating the mutual benefits of such collaboration. However, even if funding isn't an immediate option, looking at cost-effective methods like custom business cards and creative partnerships with local businesses can still drive significant impact. For sales professionals willing to invest in themselves, leveraging resources smartly can stimulate growth. This could mean setting aside a part of the commission for marketing initiatives or using affordable online platforms for brand promotion. Sean emphasizes that "scared money don't make any money," urging salespeople to be bold and strategic in their financial decisions to ensure exponential growth. By crafting a personal brand, utilizing cutting-edge technology, and committing to strategic investments, automotive salespeople can distinguish themselves from the competition. Tianna and Sean's conversation highlights a pathway to success that combines innovation with personalized service—keys to thriving in today's automotive landscape.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams and Tianna Mick (aka T Got Your Keys) pull back the curtain on some of the most overlooked—and underutilized—strategies that today's top automotive professionals are using to drive real results. "Social media absolutely has to be social. I got some tips that I could give to you if you want me." — LA Williams From communication techniques that reignite cold leads to modern tools that streamline the sales process, this high-energy conversation touches on the evolving toolkit of the 2025 car salesperson. Without giving too much away, let's just say if you've ever underestimated the power of a voicemail or dismissed AI as a “future thing,” this episode is about to change your mind. "AI is to just make workarounds so that way you actually have more time to focus on the things that are going to yield you the biggest result." — Tianna Mick Tianna and LA break down how today's buyers want to be engaged—and more importantly, how you can become the kind of salesperson who shows up where they are, with the right message, at the right time. If you're ready to stop selling like it's 2012 and start connecting like it's 2025, this episode is for you.   Key Takeaways: ✅ Voicemail Strategy: Creating engaging, curiosity-driven voicemails can significantly increase customer callbacks and drive sales success. ✅ AI in Dealerships: AI tools like ChatGPT and Podium enhance customer service by providing quick and relevant responses, ultimately improving lead conversion. ✅ Social Media Engagement: Leveraging platforms like Facebook and Instagram with a mix of personal, professional, and purposeful content helps build a loyal customer base. ✅ Personalization and Authenticity: Personalizing interactions and maintaining authenticity in customer communications is crucial for building trust and driving sales. ✅ AI Training for Sales: Encouraging salespeople to familiarize themselves with AI tools can streamline operations and save time, allowing focus on high-impact activities.   About LA Williams aka The Blind Master LA Williams, also known as the "Blind Phone Master," co-creates the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast. With extensive experience in automotive sales, LA specializes in effective communication strategies, particularly over the phone. Known for his ability to transform ordinary sales approaches into high-impact experiences, he uses his expertise to teach others how to achieve success in the car sales industry. LA is also recognized for his innovative use of technology, especially AI, to improve sales processes.   About Tianna Mick aka T Got Your Keys Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space. With a deep-rooted passion for engaging with customers through social media and digital platforms, she leverages cutting-edge tools and strategies to maximize customer engagement. Tianna is an enthusiastic champion of dealership success, providing valuable insights on sales through various media, including the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast.   Maximize Your Sales: The Art of Voicemails, AI, and Social Media in Car Sales Unlock the hidden potential of your dealership through the strategic use of voicemails, AI, and social media. A transformative approach to customer engagement is vital for boosting your bottom line this year. With effective communication strategies and technology-driven insights, you can revolutionize your dealership's operations and set the stage for unprecedented growth. Key Takeaways Voicemails Are Alive and Thriving: Contrary to popular belief, voicemails are a potent tool for engaging customers, as long as they are used correctly. AI as Your Secret Weapon: Leverage AI in every aspect of your dealership—from managing leads to sending perfect follow-ups. Social Media: Friend or Foe?: Embrace social platforms for what they were meant to be—social and engaging.   Voicemails: Not Just Old School, But Smart Voicemails are far from dead, especially if you know how to use them wisely. The power of a well-crafted voicemail lies in its ability to make the recipient curious enough to give you a callback. As LA Williams emphasizes, "If we could get conversations going…that's half the battle." Voicemail mastery involves not just what you say but how you say it—infusing the message with energy and a tone of trustworthiness while keeping them short and under 30 seconds. Williams further cautions against leaving dead voicemail messages. You know the ones—monotonously reminding prospects of what they already know. Instead, he advises creating valid curiosity using pointed questions. He asserts, "Tell the person that you have some key questions that you need to run by them." This technique effectively pulls the customer in and increases engagement rates. Despite the technological advancements in telecommunications, voicemail continues to be a fundamental tool in the salesperson's toolkit. With phones now transcribing voicemails into text, this feature offers a dual-engagement mode—listening and reading. The versatility of voicemails makes them an asset for reaching today's busy consumers. Harnessing the Power of AI for Lead Conversion Artificial Intelligence is not only the future; it's the present. It is a versatile tool that uniquely complements human efforts by managing leads and prompting timely follow-ups. As LA Williams introduces it, "Podium has Jerry, an AI whiz that sets up test drives, answers questions… and facilitates seamless sales." AI platforms like ChatGPT offer tailored sales messages, be they emails or text messages, carefully crafted to suit the customer's journey. The magic happens when AI is set to act like an intern—making suggestions, learning from each interaction, and evolving based on feedback. Williams shares a vivid story about how an AI app once malfunctioned, showing how deeply sales professionals rely on these tools. AI revolutionizes communication by enhancing the speed with which leads are managed. Instant responses are crucial in keeping customers warm, especially when a human may not be available to answer a call immediately. "Speed to lead is paramount," Williams reminds us, driving home the importance of fast, accurate customer service now achievable through AI integrations. Social Media Engagement: Beyond the Basics Social media isn't just another marketing tool; it's a robust platform for dynamic engagement. By presenting oneself authentically, you transform followers into raving fans. Williams explains, "From posting motivational quotes to sharing personal moments, social media should be an amalgamation of personal and professional." The strength of platforms like Facebook and Instagram lies in their capacity to humanize businesses and salespeople. Incorporating a balanced content strategy—personal, professional, purposeful, and polls—turns casual scrolls into potential sales leads. This dynamic space also represents the perfect proving ground for integrating AI-created messages. Social media's double-edged sword lies in how its ease of access can lead to lost opportunities if you aren't fully leveraging it. For car sales professionals, it serves as an extension of the dealership—bridging the gap between traditional sales techniques and the modern consumer journey. With these insights into voicemails, AI, and social media, the path to improving customer engagement and ultimately boosting sales is a journey revolving around choice and adaptation. Whether it's crafting that perfect voicemail, harnessing AI to nurture leads, or mastering the nuance of social media, each of these elements holds the potential to transform your dealership into a powerhouse.

"I've been using social media for, I would say 10 years... and it's my main source of business." – Toni Cornell Toni shares the secrets behind her content strategy, designed to foster personal connections and community trust. With the support of her manager, she dives into her transition from BDC to full-time sales, emphasizing the power of adaptability and a human-first approach, especially in an era dominated by AI. Plus, discover how AI technologies like Podium's conversational AI are helping salespeople engage with customers continuously, enhancing their sales efforts. This episode is packed with game-changing insights you don't want to miss!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Toni Cornell achieved an impressive feat in automotive sales, selling up to 51 cars in one month, primarily through social media strategies. ✅ By using her Facebook pages, Toni reaches nearly 300,000 people, with over 90,000 direct engagements, which translates to daily leads and consistent sales. ✅ Social media is not only about direct sales; Toni emphasizes the importance of community engagement, authentic content sharing, and building trust with followers. ✅ Integrating AI into sales processes can facilitate continuous customer interaction, allowing professionals like Toni to manage increased leads without compromising personal touch. ✅ Managers like Harry play a pivotal role in recognizing and nurturing talent, encouraging the use of innovative platforms like the Millionaire Car Salesman Network to drive success.   About Toni Cornell Toni Cornell is a distinguished automotive sales professional who has mastered the art of selling vehicles through social media! Starting as a BDC representative, Toni has built an impressive career, selling up to 51 cars in a month and leveraging platforms like Facebook to expand her clientele. With over 17,500 organic followers and an engagement reach of 90,000 on her personal Facebook page, Toni has become a social media influencer in the automotive industry. Aside from her sales achievements, she is also recognized for her commitment to community service and advocacy!   Unlocking Success in Car Sales: Leveraging Social Media, Mentorship, and Innovation Key Takeaways: Social Media Mastery: Harnessing Facebook to generate leads and influencer-level engagement can significantly boost car sales. Mentorship and Empowerment: A supportive management team can elevate salespeople, transforming potential into performance. Innovation in a Changing Landscape: Staying ahead in the auto industry requires thinking outside the traditional dealership model.   Harnessing the Power of Social Media for Car Sales In today's digital age, social media has emerged as an invaluable tool for car sales professionals looking to maximize their reach and influence. Leveraging platforms like Facebook not only enhances personal branding but also serves as a powerful lead generation tool. Toni Cornell, a standout figure in automotive sales, exemplifies this transformation with her impressive use of social media to drive business outcomes. Toni's journey from a beginner to a leading salesperson showcases the monumental power of social media in sales. By cultivating a staggering 17,500 followers on her organic page, she managed to achieve an engagement level that reaches up to 300,000 people, with 90,000 directly engaging with her content. As she shares, "I have videos with up to 1.4 million views, and it's my main source of business." What sets Toni apart is not just her ability to attract followers but also her strategic use of Facebook as a revenue-generating tool, earning $1,000 to $2,000 a month from ad revenue. This showcases the potential of social media to supplement income while bolstering sales efforts. Her story is a testament to the impact of integrating social media into a sales strategy, emphasizing how platforms like Facebook can become indispensable allies in a competitive market.   The Role of Mentorship and Empowerment in Sales Success Behind every high-achieving professional is often a supportive mentor who recognized and nurtured their potential. For Toni Cornell, that mentor was her general sales manager, Harry, who not only identified her potential but also directed her towards invaluable resources to foster her growth. "I've been following it for a while. Someone just suggested it for me, and I really like the content, what you guys were about," Harry explains. Harry's approach highlights a critical element of success: empowerment. By encouraging Toni to join the "Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group," he provided her with tools that propelled her knowledge and operations beyond traditional dealership expectations. Harry describes Toni as someone who "took off with it" and transformed her online presence into a consistent source of leads, thereby enhancing dealership sales without any direct dealership expenditure. The essence of Harry's mentorship style lies in allowing salespeople to explore creative methods of growing their business while offering unwavering support. This strategy has propelled Toni to achieve remarkable feats, such as selling 51 cars in a single month. Her experience shows how encouragement and autonomy can unlock previously untapped potential within sales professionals.   Innovation: Leading the Auto Sales Industry into a New Era In a rapidly evolving automotive landscape, innovative thinking has become non-negotiable. The traditional dealership model's limitations are becoming increasingly apparent, especially when contrasted with the fresh approaches of individuals like Toni Cornell. Her story is a blueprint for those looking to thrive amidst industry changes. The proactive pursuit of alternative avenues, such as strategic social media utilization, not only fills the gaps left by traditional methods but also opens new doors for customer engagement. Harry, the GSM at her dealership, recognized this dynamic early on: "I didn't do anything with it. I didn't prospect it, I didn't work or lead. I wasn't in the CRM, didn't pay for it. It's all extra." Such forward-thinking approaches are critical, especially in an industry where to remain stagnant is to fall behind. As dealerships face tighter competition and evolving consumer expectations, integrating innovative tools like AI chatbots and personalized social media campaigns can enhance customer experience and loyalty.   Gaining Traction: Elevating Car Sales through Creativity and Community The journey depicted in this conversation serves as a powerful example of how combining social media prowess with effective mentorship can lead to unprecedented success in car sales. Toni Cornell's achievements underscore the profound impact that social media and community engagement can have on business outcomes. Her story is a reminder that in an ever-changing industry, innovation and adaptability remain the cornerstones of sustained success. Supporting team members and equipping them with the tools to thrive is not just beneficial for individual professionals; it contributes to a dealership's overall growth and resilience. As Toni continues to forge ahead, her journey inspires others to explore how they can reinvent their practices and embrace the digital age's opportunities. The account from the millionaire car sales podcast offers crucial insights into the changing automotive sales landscape. It shows that by embracing technology, mentoring talented professionals, and fostering a culture of innovation, dealerships can not only survive but thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.   Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

145: After iPhone 17: What to Expect in 2026 and Beyond

The MacRumors Show

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through how the iPhone lineup is rumored to change after the release of the iPhone 17 lineup later this year, looking at what to expect in 2026, 2027, and beyond. Apple's recently rumored ‌iPhone‌ roadmap beyond the ‌iPhone 17‌ reveals a significant strategic shift in both release cadence and product positioning. With increasing competition, an expanding lineup, and evolving manufacturing logistics—particularly the move away from China toward production in India—Apple is exploring a staggered release schedule designed to avoid marketing fatigue and maintain focus across the six main ‌iPhone‌ models that are expected to be on sale by the end of next year. In spring 2026, Apple may introduce the "iPhone 17e" as a refresh of the lower-cost model introduced this year. The major wave of change begins in fall 2026, with the launch of the "‌iPhone‌ 18 Air," "‌iPhone‌ 18 Pro," and "‌iPhone‌ 18 Pro Max." The Pro models are expected to introduce under-display Face ID for the first time, reducing the need for a visible sensor array and leaving only a small camera hole at the top-left corner of the display. It remains unclear how this change will affect the presence or function of the Dynamic Island. Camera upgrades are also expected, including a variable aperture 48MP main lens and a likely new Samsung sensor for the ultra-wide camera. Other enhancements include Apple's in-house "C2" modem and an "A20" chip made with TSMC's upcoming 2nm process. Fall 2026 is also expected to mark the debut of Apple's first foldable ‌iPhone‌. Featuring a book-style design, the device will offer a 5.7-inch outer display and a 7.8-inch inner display. Apple reportedly aims to beat competitors with a superior hinge mechanism crafted from titanium and stainless steel, and a display with a nearly invisible crease. Unlike other flagship iPhones, the foldable model will use Touch ID embedded in the power button instead of Face ID, likely due to internal space constraints. It will also purportedly include just two rear cameras, a high-density battery, and an impressively slim profile: 4.5mm when open, and 9–9.5mm when closed. In spring 2027, the base "‌iPhone‌ 18" and "‌iPhone‌ 18e" models will follow. In fall 2027, Apple is expected to introduce the "iPhone 19 Air" with a larger display, exceeding the 6.6 inches of the previous two Air models. The "‌iPhone‌ 19 Pro" and "‌iPhone‌ 19 Pro Max"—possibly branded to mark the 20th anniversary of the iPhone—will feature a "bold" redesign, incorporating more glass and, for the first time, an under-display front camera. The result will likely be a true edge-to-edge screen without notches or cutouts, fulfilling a long-standing vision for a seamless all-display ‌iPhone‌. The second-generation foldable ‌iPhone‌ is also scheduled for fall 2027, building on the first model with further refinements and enhanced durability. While plans for spring 2028 are less concrete, it's likely that the standard "‌iPhone‌ 19" and potentially "‌iPhone‌ 19e" models will arrive then, continuing the new spring/fall rollout rhythm. Looking even further ahead, Apple's ambitions may go beyond smartphones altogether. According to remarks from Apple executive Eddy Cue this week, the ‌iPhone‌ could be obsolete within a decade, replaced by AI-powered wearables and ambient computing experiences

What happens when unstoppable determination meets next-level creativity on the sales floor? In this powerhouse episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with automotive sales phenom Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer—a woman who's rewriting the rules and setting new records at her Honda dealership. "Too many people are busy selling the car when they should be busy selling the appointment." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer From bold marketing moves to unexpected customer connection strategies, Tiffany brings an energy and perspective that will challenge everything you think you know about car sales. Her journey is real, raw, and packed with insights dealership professionals can't afford to miss. "When people tell me I can't do something... it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." — Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer If you're ready to think bigger, sell smarter, and stand out in your market, this episode is your blueprint. Just be warned: it might change the way you sell forever!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Innovative Marketing: Tiffany differentiates herself by using personalized postcards, lottery tickets, and relationship-building tactics to enhance customer engagement and satisfaction. ✅ Networking Strategy: Effective use of social media groups and reciprocal relationships with other local businesses boost her sales and referral network. ✅ Overcoming Challenges: Despite early gender bias, Tiffany's resilience and commitment to excellence propelled her to the top of her field. ✅ Family in Automotive Sales: Tiffany's success has inspired her daughter to follow in her footsteps, building a successful career in car sales. ✅ Focus on Customer Relations: By treating customers as friends and continually fostering these relationships, Tiffany ensures a steady stream of referrals and repeat business.   About Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer is a seasoned automotive sales professional with over 23 years of experience in the industry. Starting her career in 2001, Tiffany has demonstrated exceptional skill and resilience, transitioning from selling cars at a Honda dealership, where she is currently the top saleswoman, to becoming a notable figure in the automotive sales community. Known for her ability to sell over 60 cars in a month, Tiffany not only excels in vehicle sales but also in building meaningful customer relationships and inspiring fellow sales professionals. Her daughter, Liana Nikel, is also a talented salesperson in the automotive industry, working with GMC and achieving success early in her career!     The Path to Success: Insightful Lessons from a Female Automotive Trailblazer Key Takeaways: Embrace resilience in a challenging automotive environment, especially as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Harness innovative strategies and technology to maximize efficiency and sales outcomes. Foster invaluable networks and relationships within the industry and community for sustained success. The automotive industry, like many others, is often seen as a male-dominated space. Yet, trailblazers like Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer have shattered these perceptions, proving that women can excel and redefine success in car sales. This engaging conversation between Sean V. Bradley, LA Williams, and Tiffany reveals insightful themes centered around resilience, innovation, and networking. Each of these themes is crucial for anyone looking to thrive in the automotive sales world.   Resilience Against Industry Challenges Resilience is a recurring theme throughout the transcript. Tiffany's journey in the automotive industry wasn't smooth from the outset. Her initial challenge was during a job interview with a BMW dealership, where her potential was prematurely judged based on her gender. "The manager walked in, saw I was a female, and walked right back out," she reflects, with a sense of triumph over what would have discouraged many. Such prejudices, unfortunately, aren't rare. Many women in various industries face similar biases. Tiffany's story serves as an inspiring testimony that challenges are not roadblocks but stepping stones to success. Her approach is clear: "Pretty funny because that honestly gives me more drive. When people tell me I can't do something…it makes me want to show everyone that I can do better than everyone else." The broader implication is a call for resilience in the face of unfair treatment and stereotypes, advocating for perseverance and persistence. Tiffany's success speaks to those who doubt their capabilities in overcoming industry-specific hurdles and provides a beacon of hope for aspiring female professionals.   Leveraging Innovative Strategies and Technology Innovation, especially in terms of leveraging tools and personal strategies, is crucial for sustained success in the automotive industry. Tiffany illustrates a clear understanding of how standing out requires more than just conventional techniques. She asserts, "I always wanted to be different than everyone else because that's what makes you successful." Her use of handwritten postcards, light-hearted lottery tickets, and the creation of evidence manuals highlights a sophisticated approach to building relationships and enhancing customer engagement. She explains, "People don't like to open up envelopes, you know, too much. So, I really feel that if you have it on a postcard and they get it in the mail, they're going to read it right away." Additionally, there's an emphasis on the integration of technology and automation in streamlining operations. Bradley's advice regarding AI underscores the importance of embracing technological advancements. "I would love to be able to promote your business," Tiffany concurs, signaling an openness to adopting innovative tools that can further accentuate her already effective strategies. Such tools can increase productivity and allow industry professionals to scale their efforts, revealing the potential impact of technology on sales efficiency.   Building Networks for Long-term Success Networking within the industry and broader community is an essential element of Tiffany's success story. Her strategy in creating valuable, sustained relationships lays the foundation for reliable referrals and repeat business. Her community engagement, characterized by distributing business cards with donuts to banks and clothing stores, exemplifies her proactive approach to fostering relationships. "Basically, I have just…one big friendship because they'll know who to call when they need a car," she shares, underscoring the importance of turning customers into long-term allies and advocates. This relational approach allows her to close a significant number of referral-based deals each month and steadily build her reputation. Professionals in the automotive industry can learn from Tiffany's approach to networking. By developing reciprocal relationships, such as with mortgage brokers and real estate agents, sales associates can create a widened network of potential customers and referrers. The broader implication here is the undeniable value of community integration and professional alliances in achieving robust, long-term success. Without limiting herself to traditional norms, Tiffany has utilized a combination of personal initiative, relationship-building, and innovative thinking to redefine success in the automotive world. For emerging and seasoned professionals alike, her approach presents actionable insights: aim for excellence irrespective of prejudice, employ technology to enhance efforts, and cultivate indispensable networks. Through these insights, Tiffany Jean Haggerty-Kruzer not only stands as a model for female empowerment but also as a luminary for all who strive to excel in the automotive sales industry.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

In this powerful episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosted by Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams, we bring in a special guest: Penny Vettel-Diersing! Penny shares her extensive experience in auto dealership marketing, starting with a breakdown of intelligent lead routing within the BDC and why customized communication strategies are critical for maximizing every lead opportunity.  "What value before you click send, on a text, on a chat, on an email, what value are you giving to the customer." The conversation then leads to Penny's innovative take on digital marketing, Google tagging, and advanced analytics — showing how dealerships can move beyond simple reply metrics to truly measure the value of every communication effort. And her #1 success in her dealership - Text messaging! "A successful text campaign isn't about the reply count. It's about the action a customer takes after getting your text." If you're ready to sharpen your marketing, drive more meaningful engagement, and rethink how you track success, this episode is a must-listen!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Intelligent Lead Routing: Penny emphasizes the importance of routing leads based on dealer expertise to boost sales efficacy rather than the traditional round-robin method. ✅ Text Communication vs. Marketing: The distinction between communication and marketing was highlighted by Penny, as she proposed data-driven, actionable strategies for improving dealership engagement. ✅ AI-Powered Marketing Tools: The use of technology, particularly AI like Google Gemini, provides cutting-edge solutions for marketing strategies under fluctuating market conditions, improving customer interaction. ✅ Value over Engagement: Penny argues that effective communication should aim to drive customer action rather than merely waiting for a reply, revolutionizing standard dealership practices. ✅ Google Tagging Efficiency: Implementing URL tagging in communications not only tracks engagement but provides essential insight into the effectiveness of each marketing campaign.   About Penny Vettel-Diersing Penny Vettel-Diersing, is a 27-year automotive industry veteran who has mastered digital marketing, business development, and sales strategies! Penny began her automotive career in 1998 at Reynolds & Reynolds, where she specialized in web-based internet lead software, programs, and processes.

Leveraging Technology: Utilizing AI and analytics tools can provide deeper insights and improve marketing outcomes.   Transforming Communication Strategies in the Auto Industry In the fast-evolving landscape of the automotive industry, staying ahead hinges on the ability to embrace innovative communication strategies. Penny Vettel-Diersing, a veteran with 27 years of industry experience, shares a profound insight into how text communication and marketing techniques can redefine dealership success. "You never send a text message to a customer that doesn't give them something exciting to do," Penny emphasizes. This approach not only encourages engagement, but also empowers potential buyers with actionable information. Through the strategic use of Google Tagging and analytics, dealerships can track customer actions, gaining insights into what works and what doesn't. Penny states, "I want to know if they actually did it right… I take that tiny URL and when you click it, I see what you're doing on my website." By focusing on the actions that customers take rather than merely their replies, dealerships can refine their strategies to maximize conversions. This shift in perspective allows dealers to offer solutions tailored to the unique needs of each customer, driving both engagement and sales. Overall, the emphasis on creating value before clicking send and adopting a detailed approach to text communication highlights a pivotal change. Texts should be more than mere messages—they should be dynamic touchpoints that bring meaningful value to the customer. With this strategy, dealerships can foster stronger relationships and enhance customer loyalty. Intelligent Lead Routing: The Path to Empowerment The whirlwind of leads that dealerships manage can often become chaotic without a structured strategy. Penny's approach to intelligent lead routing serves as a beacon of efficiency. By recognizing and capitalizing on the unique strengths of each team member, dealerships can align customer needs with the right expertise. "A lot of dealers want to try to have the government cheese mentality… here's a lead for you, here's a lead for you," remarks Sean V. Bradley. By implementing a system of intelligent lead routing, dealers can customize the lead allocation process. This ensures that opportunities are distributed based on proven strengths, allowing the most capable agents to handle specific customer inquiries. This targeted approach eliminates the pressure of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and instead nurtures precision and efficacy. The use of intelligent lead routing establishes a comprehensive understanding that each lead requires a distinct approach, aligning resources to meet customer expectations effectively. Beyond improving operational efficiency, this strategy nurtures personal growth within the sales team, transforming the mindset from mere opportunity handling to strategic problem-solving. With detailed insights into their performance, agents can continuously refine their skills, enhancing overall dealership performance. Capitalizing on Technology for Success The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and analytics is an evolving force with the potential to redefine success in automotive marketing. As Penny illustrates, leveraging AI tools like Google Gemini can uncover valuable insights, generating innovative approaches to customer communication. Through AI-generated strategies and templates, dealerships can streamline the creation and deployment of marketing campaigns, amplifying their effectiveness. The power of AI lies in its ability to deliver personalized and insightful information rapidly. "You know, you have to take the high road," Penny notes, stressing the importance of communicating with confidence and competence. By automating repetitive tasks and uncovering hidden patterns, AI enables dealerships to focus their energy on nurturing meaningful connections with potential buyers. The use of analytics tools, such as Google Tag Manager, complements AI, allowing dealerships to measure the success of their campaigns with precision. By integrating tagging and analytics, dealerships can gain visibility into the customer journey, monitor their interactions, and make data-driven decisions that optimize future efforts. This fusion of technology empowers dealers with the knowledge to not only meet but exceed customer expectations, ensuring continued success. Reflecting on Innovative Dealership Practices The insights shared by Penny Vettel-Diersing and Sean V. Bradley emphasize the transformative power of innovative strategies in the automotive industry. By redefining communication strategies, dealerships can engage potential buyers with purpose, creating value-driven interactions that foster engagement and loyalty. Emphasizing intelligent lead routing ensures that each prospect is matched with the right expertise, enhancing customer satisfaction and sales team efficiency. Leveraging AI and analytics technology transforms marketing efforts, delivering targeted insights and enabling data-driven decision-making. These strategies illustrate a holistic approach to dealership success. By integrating these techniques, dealerships can adapt to changing customer preferences, capitalize on technological advancements, and forge deeper connections with their customers. As the automotive landscape continues to evolve, dealerships equipped with these innovative practices will be poised to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.   Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

In the latest episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosts Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams explore the transformative role of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems in the automotive industry alongside Greg Becker, Chief Product Officer at NCC / ProMax.  "CRM fatigue is running rampant in the industry, but there's a smarter way to sell cars." With an authentic background in both dealership management and technology, Greg offers practical insights into leveraging CRM tools to enhance customer engagement and maximize dealership profitability. This episode is particularly pertinent given the current concerns within the industry regarding tariffs and their potential impact on pricing, inventory, and dealership operations. “You can't put a price tag on experience... CRM is the centralized hub of the repository where the data is." The conversation delves deep into how dealerships can utilize CRM systems like NCC Promax Complete CRM to streamline operations and cut through the clutter of outdated practices. Highlighting the impact of tariffs, Greg discusses proactive strategies dealerships can adopt, such as focusing on inventory acquisition and leveraging service department interactions.  "The beautiful part about this is most of the customers have done 50% of the work; they're already scheduled." With an eye on future-proofing dealership operations through AI advancements and tailored CRM solutions, this episode equips listeners with actionable strategies to navigate and thrive amidst industry challenges.   Key Takeaways ✅ CRM as Central Hub: Greg emphasizes CRM's role as a central hub for managing ongoing customer relationships from sales to service. ✅ Service Department Focus: Encourage dealerships to utilize their service departments as a key asset in generating leads and acquiring inventory. ✅ AI Integration: The potential of AI, including video messaging and advanced data analytics, is highlighted as a tool to enhance dealership efficiency. ✅ Actionable Insights: Greg provides detailed strategies for tapping into existing dealership data to create tailored, impactful customer campaigns. ✅ Resilience in the Face of Tariffs: Despite economic uncertainties, adopting a proactive, data-driven approach can help dealerships maintain profitability.   About Greg Becker Greg Becker is the Chief Product Officer at NCC / ProMax, where he leads the design and innovation of dealership software solutions. With a background in managing BDCs and working in automotive retail since 2000, Greg's expertise lies in dealership operations and CRM technology. His journey from retail experience to becoming a tech leader in the automotive space makes him a valuable voice in discussions about dealership software and strategy!   The Future of Automotive CRM: Navigating Tariffs and Maximizing Customer Relationships Key Takeaways CRM Customization is Crucial: Automotive dealerships must invest in their CRM systems, utilizing insights from seasoned professionals like Greg Becker to truly capitalize on their customer database and streamline operations. Adapting to Tariff Induced Changes: With impending tariffs, dealerships need proactive strategies to adapt and thrive, including leveraging CRM tools for better financial foresight and customer relations. Utilizing AI and Technological Innovations: The automotive industry can benefit significantly from integrating advanced AI solutions within their CRMs, improving lead management and customer engagement.   Navigating Tariffs and Their Impact on the Automotive Industry Businesses across the globe are buzzing with concerns over tariffs and their potential repercussions. As Sean V. Bradley insightfully points out, "Fear and uncertainty breeds chaos… People are consuming fear." The automotive industry is no exception, facing the dual challenges of increasing vehicle prices and an anxious consumer base. The key to overcoming these hurdles lies in adapting existing practices and embracing change. The first step is acknowledging that tariffs may indeed lead to skyrocketed costs of vehicles and parts, affecting both import and floor plan expenses. Sean accurately assesses that fear-induced actions, akin to Florida's hurricane preparations or the pandemic's toilet paper rush, could lead to unnecessary chaos. Instead, dealerships should direct their focus towards controllable elements such as refining sales strategies and maximizing their existing assets. Greg Becker, an industry veteran, highlights the industry's resilience and adaptability. "The automotive industry is one of the most resilient… it's here," he states, underlining the importance of proactive strategies. By revisiting existing client interactions and utilizing CRM systems effectively, dealerships can tap into previously missed opportunities. Revisiting leads from the previous week could uncover potential sales amidst the tariff turmoil, ensuring a steady customer flow. Focus should also be redirected to used cars with vehicle acquisition strategies and engaging with past clients through innovative campaigns.   CRM Customization: A Game-Changer for Dealerships In an ever-evolving market landscape, customizing CRM systems akin to NCC's Complete CRM can be a pivotal differentiator. With years of hands-on experience in the automotive industry, Greg Becker underscores the importance of a customized CRM solution that resonates with the dealership's culture. "We create solutions from a different perspective… a big difference between providing technology solutions and people solutions," Greg articulates. By tailoring CRM settings to replicate a dealership's internal culture and operations, automotive enterprises can enhance user adoption and efficiency. This encompasses everything from allowing personalization in system navigation to meaningful data segmentation strategies. Promax, spearheaded by Greg, shines as an exemplar by offering dashboards tailor-made for diverse roles, streamlining task management and bolstering productivity. This bespoke approach in CRM enables users to land on fully customized environments conducive to their daily operations, eliminating friction and optimizing work processes. Greg aptly notes, "If they can't get to it quick, they're going to bow out," emphasizing the crucial role of ease and efficiency. Such an integrated, user-friendly approach not only boosts individual productivity but ultimately amplifies the dealership's overall operational efficacy.   Embracing Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Lead Management Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, and within the automotive sector, its integration within CRM systems holds immense promise. AI-driven data mining and predictive analytics offer dealerships the power to refine their lead management actions, drawing insights from CRM data seamlessly. As Greg shares, "We leverage AI… from a recommendation perspective," signifying the role of intelligence in refining dealership offerings. Further blending AI with CRM, as suggested by Sean, opens the possibilities for revolutionizing customer communication through automated video messages. These AI-generated communications can play a pivotal role in promotional strategies and maintaining customer retention amid the tariff blues. By adopting advanced AI solutions that align cohesively with CRM frameworks, dealerships can bolster customer interaction and streamline conversions. Moreover, such AI tools provide laser-sharp focus in understanding customer temperament and preferences, paving the way to more personalized, successful negotiations that benefit both dealerships and customers. As dealerships explore and invest in these intelligent solutions, they step towards a future that is not only efficient but also customer-centric.   Maximizing Customer Relationships in Uncertain Times A dealership's current customer database holds incredible potential. In a world filled with uncertainty, whether due to tariffs or economic shifts, nurturing these relationships can provide a valuable buffer. As Greg Becker elucidates, "An average CRM database has 10,000 customers… that's a $10 million investment." Dealers should capitalize on this investment, targeting tailored, data-driven campaigns for existing clientele that could lead to profitable returns. To mine this gold, dealerships must look beyond the notion of direct sales investment, placing substantial effort into forging and sustaining long-term customer relationships. By aligning marketing campaigns through CRM insights directly with customer proclivities, dealerships will not only reinforce current relationships but also foster opportunities for referrals and repeat business. Investing in CRM customization and AI solutions ensures a flexible framework that adapts to changing market dynamics and transcends anticipated challenges. The implementation of efficient data segmentation, through integrated AI analysis, allows dealerships to revitalize engagement strategies and maintain consumer trust and loyalty during pressing times. In these challenging times for the automotive sector, industry professionals like Greg Becker and Sean V. Bradley provide valuable insights into utilizing customer relationship management systems to navigate the upheavals convincingly. By integrating technological innovation, fostering existing relationships, and understanding market dynamics, dealerships can endure and thrive amidst any industry hurdles, truly cementing their position in the future battleground of automotive sales.       Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

"I want to out serve, out care, my competition. If you are ignoring AI, you will be left behind" - Hayden Hicks The conversation covers a wide range of topics essential for dealership leadership, including effective desking techniques, the role of lifelong learning, and the use of technology. Hayden articulates the necessity of viewing the dealership's BDC as the new digital showroom, advocating for innovative customer engagement approaches. Emphasizing the power of digital marketing and social media presence, Hayden illustrates how developing robust content strategies can drive customer interest and loyalty, positioning Jerry Hunt Supercenter as a market leader in used car sales!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Vehicle Acquisition Expertise: Hayden Hicks reveals strategies for obtaining inventory, including utilizing a specialized Vehicle Buying Center and leveraging team efforts to secure the best deals. ✅ Servant Leadership: Hayden underscores serving customers and the community, ensuring that all dealership interactions reflect the values of respect and appreciation. ✅ Digital Showroom Approach: The importance of leveraging technology and maintaining a strong BDC presence to meet the evolving needs of modern car buyers. ✅ Content and Social Media Strategy: Developing engaging and informative content to build an audience and drive dealership recognition at local and broader levels. ✅ Continuous Learning and Adaptation: Hayden Hicks prides himself on being a lifelong learner, consistently seeking opportunities to enhance dealership operations and team performance.     About Hayden Hicks Hayden Hicks is the President of Jerry Hunt Supercenter, a top-performing independent dealership group in North Carolina. With a background deeply rooted in the automotive industry, Hayden Hicks advanced through various roles, from sales manager to desk manager, finance director, and general manager, before stepping into his current leadership position. Known for his expertise in desking and strategy in vehicle acquisition, Hayden drives the organization's success with a focus on service excellence and community engagement.       Accelerating Success in Automotive Sales: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Servant leadership and a focus on community impact can transform the traditional car sales experience, particularly in independent dealerships. Robust CRM and data management are vital to leveraging existing customer relationships and optimizing dealership operations. Harnessing AI and innovative technologies can significantly enhance customer engagement and streamline dealership processes.     A New Approach to Car Sales: The Value of Servant Leadership In the latest episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Hayden Hicks, President of Jerry Hunt Supercenter, discusses shifting paradigms in independent car dealerships by embracing servant leadership. This approach, which prioritizes the well-being of employees and customers, aims to dismantle the stigma often associated with independent dealerships. Reflecting on his upbringing in the automotive industry, Hayden emphasizes the importance of gratitude and service. "I understand as an independent car dealership that we are already starting from behind in a customer's perspective," he notes. This perspective has led him to inculcate a culture that goes beyond mere transactions. Jerry Hunt Supercenter strives to offer a remarkable customer experience, asserting that purchasing a car is one of the most significant financial undertakings for many. The broader implications of this servant leadership approach are profound. By fostering an environment where employees are motivated to serve and innovate, independent dealerships can dramatically improve customer satisfaction and loyalty. This model not only challenges traditional views but sets a new standard for client-focused service in the automotive industry. CRM and Data Management: Mining Gold in Customer Relations A critical game changer for Jerry Hunt Supercenter has been their strategic use of CRM tools, notably Promax, to enhance customer relations and dealership operations. As Hayden mentions, "We have around 150,000 people in our database… it's like a gold mine." This vast reservoir of data enables the dealership to tap into existing customer relationships effectively and drive repeat business. Hayden acknowledges the importance of a CRM specialist: "We have a person on site that used to work for Promax, now works for us to ensure that we are following in that footsteps of using the CRM 100% correctly." This dedicated focus ensures that the CRM is leveraged to its full potential, optimizing both sales strategies and customer engagement. For dealerships looking to innovate, the lesson here is clear: efficient data management can be the key to unlocking substantial business growth. By understanding and anticipating customer needs through detailed data analysis, dealerships can craft personalized experiences that create lasting loyalty and drive sales. Embracing AI and Technology: Revolutionizing Engagement and Operations The podcast underscores a forward-looking approach to integrating AI and technology into dealership operations. Hayden articulates how Jerry Hunt Supercenter plans to incorporate AI solutions like Podium, emphasizing the critical role of engagement: "We are going to initiate it in the beginning to help our agents interact… until engagement happens." In today's competitive market, AI tools can significantly improve engagement rates, which have traditionally hovered at a mere 6-8% for phone calls. AI's ability to provide instant responses and streamline after-hours interactions can bridge the gap between dealerships and potential buyers, making customer engagement more efficient and impactful. The transformative potential of AI in automotive sales is immense. By embracing these technologies, dealerships can not only improve their responsiveness and customer satisfaction but also gain a competitive edge in an increasingly digital landscape. Jerry Hunt Supercenter: A Vision for the Future Hayden Hicks' leadership philosophy at Jerry Hunt Supercenter offers a detailed blueprint for any dealership aiming for substantial growth and innovation. By nurturing a culture of service, strategically utilizing CRM data, and integrating cutting-edge AI technology, the dealership has carved out a leadership position within the industry. The dealership's commitment to a holistic and forward-thinking business model reflects a dedication to progress and customer-centricity. As Hayden ambitiously states, "Our goal is to have a thousand cars every single month… to continue to serve our customers at a high level." Jerry Hunt Supercenter is not just competing in a challenging market; it's paving the way with innovative practices that emphasize empathy, efficiency, and excellence. For industry leaders and dealerships everywhere, Hayden Hicks' insights offer not just practical strategies but a compelling vision of what the future of car sales can and should look like.       Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

His expertise has been honed further through a significant tenure at LotPop, where he analyzed and enhanced dealership processes across the country.   Mastering the Art of CRM Integration: Strategies for Automotive Dealership Success   Key Takeaways: Outsourcing and AI integration are pivotal for thriving CRM strategies. Comprehensive CRM training is essential for maximizing dealership potential. CRM is not just a tool but a culture that needs top-down commitment and execution.   Innovative CRM Strategies for Automotive Dealerships The landscape of the automotive industry is rapidly evolving, with customer relationship management (CRM) as a linchpin for success. As dealerships strive to sell more cars, customer engagement remains the hardest part of the job. The introduction of AI and dedicated call centers has revolutionized how dealerships manage leads and customer interactions. Sean V. Bradley, president of Dealer Synergy, underscores the importance of CRM by stating, "One of the biggest challenges that I keep hearing from dealers across the United States is, man, I don't have enough people." Outsourcing is a game-changer in this context. By expanding their operations across three countries, including Belize and the Philippines, Dealer Synergy leverages skilled agents ensuring no customer is left unattended. This operational efficiency not only addresses the perennial complaint of insufficient staffing but also enhances customer engagement through continuous, round-the-clock service. Such strategies allow dealers to focus more on profitable engagements, rather than scrambling to maintain their current workloads. The advent of AI, especially solutions like Podium's AI BDC, amplifies this strategy. Podium's Jerry provides 24/7 lead conversion powerhouses, engaging customers even after hours. "Meet Jerry Podium's new AI BDC. Jerry is a lead conversion powerhouse designed to respond instantly to every incoming lead," offers a practical glimpse into leveraging technology for superior customer management without direct human intervention. Such integrations streamline processes, ensuring a smooth handover to human staff without disrupting customer interaction.   The Importance of Robust CRM Training and Processes While sophisticated tools and AI are invaluable, the human factor remains central to CRM success. Dealerships often overlook thorough training for their teams, leading to suboptimal use of available technology. Jonathan Schrieber, an automotive veteran and Director of CRM and Technologies at Dealer Synergy Global, emphasizes the need for a sound training structure. "I think the hardest part about this job is just getting customer engagement," he echoes, highlighting how a well-trained staff is instrumental in overcoming this challenge. Schrieber's personal journey from the floor of a dealership to overseeing CRM at an executive level underscores the value of comprehensive training and experienced leadership. His background in every facet of the dealership—from driving a parts truck to handling finance—shows how familiarity with all processes enriches CRM strategy and execution. His insight into the importance of analytics ensures that dealership's sales, service, and parts departments align seamlessly, fostering an environment where CRM is not just a database, but a dynamic tool driving meaningful customer interactions. Training should not simply involve checking off a list. Instead, it requires ongoing commitment from all levels of management. "It's not what you preach, it's what you tolerate," a quote from Extreme Ownership as referenced by Schrieber, encapsulates the idea that CRM proficiency must be embedded in the dealership's culture. Overcoming CRM hesitance requires robust leadership that practices what it preaches, making CRM compliance and training a non-negotiable part of dealership operations.   Elevating CRM from Tool to Cultural Cornerstone The successful execution of CRM strategies stretches beyond technology and tools; it requires a paradigm shift in how dealerships perceive CRM. Sean V. Bradley advocates for viewing CRM as fundamental to dealership operations, not just an optional tool. "Information without application is just information. Information with application equals transformation," he states, urging dealerships to transform data into actionable insights. Transitioning CRM from a supportive tool to an operational cornerstone involves aligning AI, human resources, and backend processes. The trifecta approach—human resources, CRM automation, and AI—ensures all dealership functions operate synergistically. When set up correctly, these elements prevent duplicate efforts and ensure smooth customer interactions. Achieving this integration requires a commitment to cleanliness and optimization of existing CRM processes. As Schrieber advises, "The first step…is just clean up and optimize what you do have first." By eliminating redundancies and enhancing process flows, dealerships can fully leverage AI capabilities, ensuring customer interaction fidelity and real-time engagement. Crafting a future-proof CRM strategy in the automotive industry necessitates a blend of advanced technology, diligent training, and a cultural shift in CRM perception. As experts like Schrieber and Bradley illustrate, converting CRM from a task-driven utility to an integral cultural component is crucial. This ensures not only enhanced customer experiences but also maximizes profitability in an increasingly competitive market. Through embracing technology, fostering comprehensive training, and committing to a culture of accountability, dealerships can thrive in the complex ecosystem of modern automotive sales.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.
