Why Choose Internet Sales 20 Group over Digital Dealer 13 On October 23-25

October 23-25, 2012 dealers have a choice of attending Internet Sales 20 Group in Chicago or Digital Dealer 13 in Las Vegas.

When looking at the two events on October 23-25, 2012 dealers have made demands about wanting to avoid "timeshare" sales pitches and to build a network with other dealers.  They got tired of going to massive conferences with over 50 breakout sessions. 

Dealers are also saying that they want an accountability partner.  For example, on the 3rd day of the Internet Sales 20 Group all attendees will create an action plan for their dealerships.  After the event there will be a virtual group meeting within 45 days to literally make sure that the attendees are doing what they said they were going to do.  They will be offered assistance and advice from their moderators and their group of peers.  This is something that Digital Dealer does not do.  You simply leave the event with no agenda or plan of attack.  Dealers come back with many ideas and yet no clue of how to implement them while the organizer of the conference is not there to support them because the individual dealership is not a priority to them.  The Internet Sales 20 Group does not treat attendees like just another number.  In the words of American Express, "Membership has it's privileges".

*This is a hands on group setting where everyone benefits equally from the event.  This event is limited only to dealers and event sponsors.  We are not allowing Allied Industry attendees for this event.  Our goal is to keep this educational without having multiple vendors trying to pitch our dealers.    The event is $995 per registration, however if a dealership chooses to bring more people, a special consideration will be made.

The clear choice is to attend the Internet Sales 20 Group for dealers that really want to move the needle and get personal attention to their very needs.  The VIP networking party and dinner are a world class experience that no conference can provide.  The Internet Sales 20 Group is limited to 75 dealers and is one event that dealers do not want to miss.

 

KPA Offers 7 Scholarships to Attend the Internet Sales 20 Group

We don’t promote conferences very often. Those who have seen KPA at conferences know that we attend nearly all of them, speak at most, and engage with dealers as our primary reason for going. These things make promotion of the events challenging as we know that we’re getting a benefit from them so it’s almost like “double dipping” when we promote them as well.

Every now and then, one comes along that deserves our support. This October, the event that we’re supporting is the Internet Sales 20 Group in Chicago October 23-25. We are extremely excited by the way that this event differs from most conferences. It is as much of a networking event as it is a learning experience with a wide variety of speakers and automotive professionals attending. Unlike most events, this one has tangibles attached to attending that have never been offered in our industry.

In an effort to get the most savvy dealers in the country to attend, KPA is offering 7 scholarships that will pay the $1,495 conference entry fee. We are looking for a single sentence answer to the question:

“What is the breakout marketing initiative that will emerge in prominence in 2013?”

To enter, simply post a comment on this blog post, post your entry on our Facebook wall, or email it to me directly at jrucker@kpaonline.com. Three of the scholarships are reserved for current KPA clients and prospects. The other four are open to the dealer community. Winners will be selected Wednesday, October 3rd, so get your entry in as soon as possible. Only one entry per dealership employee, but if you win and want to bring additional dealership employees we would be happy to work out those details with you.
