Today the OIADA put on their first official training at the new Resource Center across the hall from their office. It was sold out with all the 30+seats filled! Great job to Jim, Christine & LJ. While displaying the products & services we market we had an opportunity to talk to the dealers. I had many say that the setting was very dealer friendly due to it being on a more personal level. They also liked the opportunity to check out various services available to them of which were on display. One statement comes to mind….It’s a 1 stop learn & shop deal here guys & gals! Make sure you get booked in for the next one. Some dealers have already got their spot reserved. No hype! Do it now!! Blessings!

Congrats to Diamond Warranty Corp & all of their staff back in PA! Their new insurer DAC is based right here in Columbus as some of you know. It was started by actual car dealers & they are very conservative as to what companies they do business with. Awesome news!

WOW! Another dealer enrolled! I too am having dealers contact me as to what the association is all about. The word is spreading quicker than ever! Maybe all the compliancy / laws that are coming into play have something to do with it.Or maybe it’s because of having the best state director in the USA! Jim, you should buy me lunch with this comment! Or maybe, Christine just makes you look smarter? Well, there goes lunch!! Good selling & great serving!

Awesome news as most of you know…..the OIADA is having a monthly (last Monday of each month) training/info time at their offices. Weekly, many of my dealers ask me where they can get compliant forms, docs, info etc. Well, now there is a place where they can go to get such material along with up to date news. Great job Jim & Christine for maiking this happen. Good selling & serving everyone!

MAKE IT a great New Year!
I look forward to a safe & prosperous new year & blessings to all!

Merry Christmas everyone! Merry Christmas!!

Christmas is a special time of the year. For the most part, we are shopping around for that perfect gift for that special someone. Busy, busy, busy. Maybe, just maybe we should sloooow down & realize what Christmas is about. Yes, you have heard this before & it sounds good, but really everyone, we need to. After all, no matter what you believe, like it or not, this country was founded on Judeo Christian principals & if it wasn’t for this, NONE OF US would have what we have & the freedom to even be busy shopping. May God bless you like He already has by the birth of His Son Jesus! Go ahead, celebrate! Build those memories with your loved ones & Merry Christmas to all!

WOW! A great weekend was had by all. Tarp was awesome with lots of info. The OIADA banquet/dinner was fun! Thanks to Jim Mitchell & Christine White for pulling it off successfully!
Congrats to one of my favorite dealers Wilmington Auto Center for earning Quality Dealer of the Year! Dave & John Adkins have taken over the business from their father Dale & have been blessed greatly!
