IDS announces today it has entered into an associate marketing program with SWE Racing #43

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 08, 2008 – Internet Dealership Systems, Inc is announcing today it has entered into an associate marketing program SWE Racing #43 who is competing in the Firestone Indy Lights Series. Internet Dealership Systems, Inc would become an associate level of sponsor for the balance of 2008 through 2012 and possibly the primary sponsor for a second car in 2010, said Dianne Beasley co-founder- CEO. The Firestone Indy Lights Sponsorship makes sense for Internet Dealership Systems, Inc. This is the corporation’s 22nd year and first year of marketing with an Indy Lights Team. SWE as an organization fits perfectly with our marketing programs and with our clients. Beasley continued to say “we will be promoting our IDS, Inc Affordable Deal J2 Automotive Dealership Internet Training Sales & Management in dealerships and off site seminar programs, along with our small to medium size auto service facility program Nationwide through 2012. Internet Dealership Systems with be working with SWE on the introduction of a new wholesale extreme friction reducing installer program throughout the U.S.  An announcement will be issued at the last race of the season.
 
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 Co-founder-CEO, 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 features 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 President, 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.
