IDS, Inc. formally announces it has submitted
a letter of intent to Apex Racing for 2009 Sponsorship -
Las Vegas, NV
Internet Dealership Systems, Inc has formally announced today
it has submitted a letter of intent to Apex Racing who is competing
in the Firestone Indy Lights series. Internet Dealership Systems,
Inc would become an associate level of sponsorship for 2009 and
possibly the primary sponsor for 2010, said Dianne Beasley, CEO.
The Firestone Indy Lights Sponsorship makes sense for IDS, Inc.
in the corporations first year of marketing as it fits perfectly
with our marketing program with our clients. Beasley continued to
say “we will be promoting our IDS, Inc Affordable Deal J2
Automotive Dealership Internet Training Sales & Management Seminar
Program, along with our small to medium size auto service facility
program Nationwide through 2010.
With the economic hardships we are going to be facing from housing,
credit card, and auto loan defaults, along with rising fuel, grocery,
job layoffs and inflationary issues facing middle class families
for the next several years small service facility’s and automotive
dealerships better turn expensive advertising dollars in to sold
units. IDS president, Dianne Beasley, puts it bluntly, "If
you're content with business-as-usual, If you're just riding the
wave, if you're coasting, if you're only paying lip service to professionalism,
to education and training, to the expansion of your profit centers,
to the power and effective use of the Internet as a silent salesperson
- and you can't or won't change - you're toast from this point on."
Beasley and her husband co-founder Robert, both veteran auto dealership
sales/service educators, have developed In-Touch Response, a sales
and service system incorporating unique Internet feature’s
designed to help dealers find the silver lining in tomorrow's very
cloudy future for automotive retailing. "What really sets the
IDS system apart is its staying power," Beasley said. "Any
sales training company can stop by for a couple of days or a couple
of weeks, energize your sales people, rip your business apart, and
walk out leaving everybody scratching their heads and asking themselves
what's next. That's not the IDS way. We evaluate a situation before
we agree to come in. If the dealer is not committed to our program,
we don't take the assignment. If we do accept the assignment, we
don't just hold his hand we stand side by side with his personal
from start to finish, that is why our system demands the dealer's
personal participation. We put our proprietary sales and Internet
tools to work improving the business on every front. We review weekly
progress reports. We won't permit the kind of backsliding that often
occurs after the training is done. We're around for the long haul."
The IDS system assumes tomorrow's successful car dealer and service
facilities will learn to live with three realities:
1) That there's no such thing as an uninformed customer
2) That the Internet really can be an effective sales instrument
not just a marketing tool
3) That downgrading the sales person or service writer to clerk
status is a recipe for disaster.
"There's not a car dealer or small service facility in this
country who would disagree with that," said Beasley. "But
it's been easy the last few years for some of them to lose sight
of their values and beliefs and their profit expectations, too.
Mediocrity is a nasty disease It kills enthusiasm, It frustrates
your best employees to the point that they go elsewhere and it blinds
you to opportunities. There's not a car dealer or medium size service
facility anywhere who isn't aware that the information revolution
is passing him by. But what is he doing about it? That's the question."
The secret to IDS’s In-Touch Response system is its interactive
communications capability thru a special Customer Retention Management
tool and Personalized Web Site System featuring a fast and easy
back-and-forth flow of information builds trust and leads to the
ultimate goal: To gain and keep customers.
"The system proves very cost-effective to the dealerships
or automotive service business," said Beasley. "Dealers
know the price-tag for sales training and for effective Internet
expertise, IDS, Inc can deliver their program for a fraction of
those costs, the Affordable Deal In-Touch Response system delivers
intense schooling in all phases of automotive retailing followed
by Multiple months of reinforcement."
Signing up with IDS starts a preliminary evaluation activity, followed
by a enhanced five-day seminar or a five day in-house seminar program,
in dealership workshop for dealer groups, followed by the full-time
assignment to the dealership of a IDS expert to provide reinforcement
and to help integrate the unique Internet component for a 25 day
period.
Mindful of the failures of the Internet, Beasley, her husband and
David Miesse, IDS's COO, have utilized state-of-the art imaging,
fast-loading, high intensity technology and their years of experience
in the field to develop proprietary sales systems which entertains,
informs and invites customer interaction.
In today's atmosphere of disdain for the impact of the Internet
on automotive retailing, the IDS Dealership Training system may
be one of the industry's few success stories in 2008.
Folded seamlessly into the total In-Touch Response system, the
Internet element is the bonding agent for a teamwork approach to
a selling, financing, service and parts process that will make a
dealer more competitive in the tough times ahead.
