T
he CBT News team is always looking for new ways to connect with the dealer community to share news, information and training. So to kick off the year, we decided to reach out in a big way with our “CBT News Road Trip.”
The CBT News team left Atlanta to hit the road for this year’s NADA Convention in a luxury motor coach. We stopped at dealerships along the way to get a pulse on the industry right from the showroom floor. We conducted interviews with some amazing dealers such as Walt Gutierrez from Toyota of Newnan, Butch Oustalet from Oustalet Ford and Royal Craft from Mossy Motors. They all had a great story to share with our viewers. You can view these interviews and more at CBTNews.com. Once we arrived at the convention, we caught up with some of the biggest names in the industry and spoke with them about what dealers should focus on in 2014. It appears it will be another big year, and dealers seemed to be very excited and optimistic about the year ahead. As always, we want to hear from you. Please feel free to contact me with suggestions, comments or questions. Thanks for your continued readership and viewership of both Car Biz Today Magazine and CBTNews.com.
