11 Jan |
Rancho Cucamonga, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2011
Crossfire Marketing Group, in association with Richter10.2Media Group, has launched the Social Media Press Kit earlier this week, a project that CMG President Mickey Gross hailed as a revolutionary step forward in the marketing and branding of ones self. He continued to gush about the Social Media Press Kit as quite possibly being the new standard of self-advertising as opposed to traditional corporate websites.
In speaking to Mr. Gross, he went on to say that the websites that we are so accustomed to these days have become so commonplace and even mundane that the individuals who desperately rely on earning commissions and bonuses for companies have no way to stand outwell, the Social Media Press Kit (http://www.smpktrial.com) is about to be a game changer. Lets face it, consumers do business with people, not with companies.
What is the Social Media Press Kit?
Darcey Hollingsworth, from Richter10.2Media Group offered his insight into the Social Media Press Kit from his companys standpoint: The Social Media Press Kit is designed to give individual sales people earning commissions within a company (real estate agents, car salespeople, notaries, lawyers, etc) the ability to communicate with consumers in various ways: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, ooVoo, Skype messaging, email, mobile text, etc all in one compact tool.
In a quick and very informative demonstration for me, Gross and Hollingsworth shared one of the features that really makes the Social Media Press Kit stand head and shoulders above the competition: the email signature button:
This new weapon as Mickey Gross points out, allows an individual to be readily accessible to a local and global market that was never available before. The signature button contains all of your contact information, professional and personal data, videos, photos, etcall that you build in simple, video-instructed stepsif you can complete an on-line form, you can build your own Social Media Press Kit. Talk about an instant relationship builder touts Mr. Hollingsworththe consumers can now meet you, get to know you, and trust you all before ever meeting face to face!
Mr. Gross, who has over 35 years of sales and marketing experience behind him, feels that this is the ultimate icebreaker. Think about it, he added, the Social Media Press Kit allows you face time with potential customers who could be down the street or in another country!
Like Mr. Gross, Darcey Hollingsworth has a vast background in sales and marketing under his belt and feels that the Social Media Press Kit is going to be huge and likens it to Twitter as a sort of micro site for sales people.
Simply stated, the Social Media Press Kit is a fully functional personal website that is designed by you with all of your pertinent contact information and photos that can be easily edited using your personal touch that will drive more business to you for your personal success!
Special Offer Open to the Public for the First 45 Days Only!

You get to fully customize your Social Media Press Kit with a color scheme and logo as well as upload videos or photos so that your audience knows you before they buy from you! This is the ultimate icebreakerwe know people buy from people they feel comfortable withno other sales tool offers this!
With the Social Media Press Kits ability to link directly to your Facebook page, Twitter account, or LinkedIn page, you have the ability to reach millions of potential customers in one clean, organized sales powerhouse!

9 Jan |

West Chester, Ohio (PRWEB) February 4, 2011
ESCORT Inc, the leading manufacturer of premium automotive electronic accessories and maker of the world’s best radar and laser detectors, is offering car dealerships increased customer convenience accessories including the new PASSPORT iQ, the worlds first and only integrated radar detector and GPS NAV driving accessory, at the NADA convention (National Automobile Dealers Association) this week in San Francisco. We are excited about expanding car dealership profit opportunities with our new PASSPORT iQ which provides state-of-the-art radar and laser detection, 3D GPS navigation, red light and speed camera notifications, speed limit information, and much more, said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. The PASSPORT iQ is the ideal accessory for car dealers to offer each of their customers as it sets the standard for helping their customers avoid unwanted tickets while guiding them safely anywhere they drive.
Receiving considerable media attention, the PASSPORT iQ has been called a game changer” (Autoweek), “Intelligent!” (Automundo), ” new territory for Escort – territory the unit handled flawlessly” (12 Volt News) and described as ” an all-in-one-unit – it works fantastic!” (the Daily Buzz), “the ultimate marriage of driving convenience, offering drivers the best of all worlds” (MyTekLife magazine) and “… just like everything from Escort, it is on top of its game” (Car Audio magazine). Sales have been strong and demand from current ESCORT car dealer customers has been frequentthe good news at NADA will be ESCORTs announcement of extending the availability of the PASSPORT iQ to car dealers immediately.
ESCORT will also be presenting the just-released cordless Solo S3 radar/laser detector, designed for consumers who travel frequently or who seek class-leading radar detector protection without the use of cords. The new Solo S3 is an advanced design and technology successor to the industry acclaimed cordless performance leader, the Solo S2. Our new Solo S3 features a sleek new look, improved long range performance, and a new brilliant, high-contrast OLED (organic light-emitting diode) display. Our cordless models, beginning with the original Solo and all the way up to the Solo S2, have always led the industry in performance for cordless protection now the Solo S3 continues that long-standing tradition by establishing another new standard, said Dave Smidebush, ESCORT Vice-president of Marketing.
With its annual appearance at the 2011 NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) convention in San Francisco (booth 1211S) February 5-7, ESCORT Inc, will once again dedicate their efforts to helping automotive dealers increase opportunities to sell and generate additional revenue streams by offering ESCORTs premium automotive accessories (currently seen in many car dealerships). At NADA, ESCORT will also be highlighting the PASSPORT 9500ci Custom Installed Radar Detector as an incremental profit opportunity for dealers. Dealers have told us they are looking for ways to increase their profitability. We have the ideal suite of suite of premium automotive accessories to help their customers Drive Smarter and add significant profit to dealership operations, said John Larson, ESCORT President and CEO. We want to remind dealers about increasing their per-vehicle net when they offer their customers accessory solutions for their driving needs, says Larson.
The PASSPORT 9500ci Custom Installed unit is a fully integrated, completely hidden radar detector system. And the PASSPORT 9500ci is easy for dealers to sell. A major reason is ESCORTs unrelenting radar and laser detector dominance. One example is the PASSPORT 9500cis award winning GPS-Powered speed and location intelligence. The 9500ci is the worlds only custom installed radar and laser defense system to possess this type of GPS advanced technology. Installation costs, a major concern for managed dealerships, are dramatically reduced with the 9500cis quick connect wiring harness and self-test diagnostics that communicate proper operation upon completion.
The 9500ci offers dealers the opportunity to provide their customers with a complete radar and laser defense system that is completely discreet it cant be seen due to its integrated installation. Its blue LED full-text display provides instant visual threat info while a separate controller allows easy operation separation of the display and controller yields great flexibility for the installation and maintains the aesthetic beauty of the owners vehicle. The 9500ci also incorporates a dual antenna and high-efficient LNA receiver, providing the industrys best long-range warning against all radar guns. The receiver is also completely undetectable to all known scanning devices, making the 9500ci the stealthiest custom-installed detector in the world.
Laser protection is accomplished by multiple sensors mounted front and rear of the vehicle. The 9500ci laser sensors also have Shifting capability, which significantly reduces the possibility that the driver will be stopped due to being targeted by laser guns.
The 9500ci also breaks new ground by building upon ESCORTs patented TrueLock feature, which uses GPS technology to eliminate false alerts by indexing their exact location and frequency. And the patented AutoLearn feature automatically analyzes all incoming signals and automatically eliminates false signals.
Conservatively, more than 50 million speeding tickets will be issued this year plus the rapid increase in automated red light and speed camera ticketing and ESCORT believes that car dealerships are in a unique position to help their customers with products that help them keep from receiving unwanted tickets. Customers who shop at car dealerships know about speeding tickets and the commanding increase in overall ticketing numbers and fines. At NADA, we will be encouraging car dealers to learn more about how they can help their customers drive smarter and avoid tickets and how helping customers with ESCORT accessories directly benefits dealer revenue.
At NADA, ESCORT will help dealers understand how their premium automotive accessories can add profit on every car they sell. For example, car dealers are ideally suited to offer custom installed radar detectors to their customers, especially returning customers who use their service bays for tune-ups, oil changes and regular vehicle maintenancethe dealership is the perfect place for customers to learn about ticketing and protection! And the ESCORT SmartMirror, an OEM rear view mirror replacement, and the new PASSPORT iQ radar detector, both with integrated GPS navigation, allow dealers to offer GPS solutions that provide dramatically more benefits and value than competing navigation only devices offered by competing retail stores. ESCORT will show car dealers how these ESCORT branded accessories sell themselves.
The complete line of ESCORTs premium automotive accessories will be on display at booth 1211S where the ESCORT team will be on hand to help dealers discuss their opportunities to sell complete custom installed radar detectors, GPS Navigation and other premium Drive Smart automotive accessories. ESCORT provides a complete, one stop solution for meeting and exceeding increased F&I sales targets.
ESCORT is encouraging attendees to stop at the ESCORT booth (1211S) and sign up for a free drawing. The winner will receive a product package, in-dealership training and POS displays worth $ 5k from the ESCORT. Dealer information may also be found online at ESCORTRadar.com or by calling the ESCORT Dealer Hotline at 1.513.870.8539.

| Environmentally Friendly Oil Change System for the Green Shop |
8 Jan |
Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) April 4, 2011
Changing the oil in your vehicle has become a lot less messy with the Quick Changer from Unique Truck Equipment. You can change the oil while hot without spilling and burning your hands. Your oil changes will be quicker and safer.
How it works:
Once the Quick Changer Engine Oil Drain Valve is installed, simply remove the dust cap and connect the drain hose assembly which activates a valve and allows the oil to drain down through the hose into a pan. Once the oil is completely drained, the drain hose is removed and the valve automatically closes. New oil can be added with no cleanup required.
A feature of the Quick Changer is that the valve does not extend beyond the threads of the drain pan, which allows the oil to drain completely. This, coupled with the fact that the oil can be drained at hotter temperatures, allows for a faster, cleaner way to drain old oil, preventing build up of sediment and sludge.
The Quick Changer makes it easy to take quick samples of the oil with complete control over the amount removed. It also eliminates the potential of stripping the threads on the drain-pan because it will no longer be necessary to remove the plug with each oil change.

Our Certified Service Centers serve millions of customers each year, so customer service is the lifeblood of our business, said Jon Owens, Vice President of Sales & Market Development for Auto Value/Bumper to Bumper. Until now, we relied on mail-in surveys or other antiquated methods to gather customer feedback. With Agility Metrics customized web portal design for each of our service centers, were able to aggregate the data collected to measure service quality and ensure consistency across the U.S. and Canada, and use it to improve our performance or instantly respond to a negative experience. Its already paid dividends for us, and weve only had it deployed for about a month now, Owens explained.
With the program, participating shops have access to real-time customer feedback on a whole host of topics, including overall customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, quality of service, store appearance, as well as information about their customer base. In addition to unit-level reporting for service centers, shareholders and the headquarters office have access to aggregated customer satisfaction and loyalty reports about the car care experience.
This new program is a real game-changer at all levels of the supply chain, said Richard Pridham, CEO and President of Agility Metrics. Key sales and marketing personnel will gain high-level visibility into customer satisfaction and loyalty trends, while certified service center owners will be empowered to provide first-rate customer service and gain tremendous insight into customer thoughts, behaviors and expectations, which in turn enable them to uphold the Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper repair Code of Ethics.

| Briggs Buick GMC is Proud that 3D Rapid Prototyping Fast Tracks GM Fuel Efficiency Gains |
30 Dec |

Manhattan, KS (PRWEB) July 15, 2011
Deep inside the GM Design building an elite team has been fashioning components, intricate sub assembles and entire scale model cars from highly specialized three-dimensional rapid prototyping manufacturing equipment. The sales team at Briggs Buick GMC – the premiere GM dealer in Manhattan, Kansas – think this is very cool.
The Rapid Prototype Laboratory features two fabrication processes selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereo lithography apparatus (SLA). Both processes build up finished products from raw material in layers. The entire process is quite amazing and has helped GM quite a bit over the last couple decades, allowing them to quickly test ideas before spending money on them.
Think of it as the reverse of slicing off cold-cuts at the deli counter, where each slice is created and joined back to the whole, said Dave Bolognino, director of GM Design Fabrication Operations.
RP technology eliminates tooling plus it permits the production and testing of multiple iterations of a part or assembly with superb precision at little to no incremental expense. Its a game-changer of epic proportion.
3D rapid prototype technology has resulted in dramatic efficiencies in GM wind tunnel testing across GMs entire car and truck lineup.
Thanks to the rapid pace of production from the RP Laboratory, GMs aerodynamics lab has been to double its capacity of testing scale models over the past two years, contributing to improved fuel efficiency on future GM vehicles, said Bolognino.
GM Design has been on the leading edge of rapid prototyping technology for nearly two decades and is highly regarded as a beta tester and innovator of new materials, formulas and processes by its supplier partners, 3D Systems Corp. and Materialise. They have learned a lot over the years and they continue to innovate in exciting new ways as seen in the recent vehicles they have been designed and producing for the world market.
Its a way to reduce product development time, save costs, and give designers more options, Bolognino said. I dont see any end sight for General Motors use of this technology.
Local residents who want to see the results – the new 2011 Buick and GMC line-up – are encouraged to stop in at Briggs Buick GMC, the leading GM dealer in Manhattan, Kansas and surrounding areas.

| BION Releases Cloud Security Technology and the Future of Document Tracking — Seeks Beta Test Partners |
29 Dec |
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 11, 2011
Mark Gray, CEO of BION Enterprises, LLC today announced the BIONs Document Tracking & Cloud Security software for Beta-testing with select partners. BION is a software development firm based in Atlanta, Georgia with a powerful and innovative new approach.
Imagine a world where every document & file is digitally tagged and tracked. When opened or viewed, “ET” phones home with the IP address, time stamp and more. From sensitive medical records, documents for government agencies, audit or law firms. We are the audit trail and Chain of Custody for any document. Imagine your sales & marketing team or corporate transaction leaders knowing when your proposal is being considered, what pages were viewed and how often? This powerful tool has many uses and applications ranging from cyber security to document management, from Sarbanes Oxley Compliance to protecting sensitive information, copyrighted works and more.
It’s as if the owner’s manual forgot to mention – you need a key to start the car, says BION CEO, Mark Gray. The traditional computer security model has focused on protecting the computer or server from unwanted intruders. But, what about insider leaks? Do employees ever handle your sensitive information carelessly? And, as more and more files and documents migrate to the cloud, where security is no longer under your control, do you really know who has viewed your private documents and files? Welcome to the future of security for any file or document that is important to you. Track any document. Anywhere. That’s BION.
The companys co-founder, CTO & Chief Scientist, Wyly Wade, said BION and its proprietary technology is ten years in development. The document tracking technology works across the most advanced firewalls, active Malware systems and even in the cloud. This is a Game Changer for how security traditionally works.
BION Enterprises, LLC, is a cloud based solution ideal for small or large companies, government agencies or anyone who wants to track what happens to their important files and documents.

| Jobs, Jobs, Jobs Customer Feedback Service Offered for Free to Help Small Businesses Grow, Hire in Lackluster Economy |
28 Dec |

Boise, Idaho (PRWEB) September 14, 2011
To do its part to help struggling small businesses nationwide grow and create new jobs, South Office LLC has announced it is offering its new QR-code driven customer feedback service for free.
We are doing this to help small businesses improve their customer experience and, therefore, expand and hire new employees as revenue grows, says Martin R. Baird, chief feedback officer for South Office, a Boise, Idaho-based company. Wal-Mart announced last week it is bringing back its layaway plan to help shoppers during the recession and give the economy a boost. This is our way of also helping the business community and the economy.
South Office is targeting companies with one to five locations and will offer its Feedback Revolution QR service at no charge to the first 1,000 businesses that sign up.
Our offer is simple, Baird says. If a business would like to use our cutting-edge research and common technology to learn about their customers experience, we will do it for free. They just need to sign up at http://www.feedbackrevolutionqr.com to get started.
Feedback Revolution QR weds the technology of QR codes and smartphones with extensive customer satisfaction research published by Harvard. The research, which spanned 10 years and involved more than 4,000 customers in 14 industries, concluded that a customers willingness to refer is more powerful than satisfaction or loyalty. One of the services questions was developed from the research, which also concluded that customers who are willing to risk their reputation for a company will continue to patronize that business and tell their friends to do the same, creating repeat and new business.
In this economy, too many businesses are forced to make tough decisions about keeping employees, Baird says. We dont want anyone to get a cut in hours so their employer can have real-time customer feedback, Baird notes. And real-time customer feedback can be the key to helping many businesses grow and improve.
Government doesnt know how to create jobs. Entrepreneurs create jobs. They have the ideas that drive our economy and they need some help. We hope that by transforming the way some of these companies collect and use customer feedback, we may become part of the next Starbucks, McDonalds or even Google.
According to the Small Business Administration, small firms have generated 64 percent of net new jobs over the past 15 years. Consider this, Baird says. If one out of three micro businesses companies with less than four employees in the United States would hire one more person, we would be at full employment.
Actionable customer feedback leads to an improved customer experience that goes directly to the bottom line, Baird says. According to American Express, 70 percent of Americans are willing to spend an average of 13 percent more with companies they believe provide excellent customer service. American Express also found that when a customer is happy, he tells nine people about his experience. But he will tell 16 people about a poor experience, according to American Express.
The Internet has made it easy to share experiences with the world, but we want customers to share that valuable information with the business owners directly so the owners know exactly what customers want changed and improved, Baird says. Businesses should understand that comment cards dont work because customer feedback needs to be fast and actionable.
By listening to customers and increasing revenue, businesses can reinvest through hiring and expansion, Baird says. The economy needs all the help it can get, Baird says. With national unemployment at 9.1 percent and over 13 percent in places like Las Vegas, every little bit can help.
The president and congress cannot create public-sector jobs, according to Baird. They create government jobs that are just a drag on our economy. Hundreds of billions of dollars in government programs are not the answer. It will take businesses having the ability to add one or two new jobs each to get the ball rolling. When people have jobs, they go out to eat, buy new furniture and put money in the bank, with each of these actions helping the businesses they touch get stronger, according to Baird.
Im no Warren Buffet or Bill Gates, Baird says. Im just a guy who wants to do his part.
South Office offers Feedback Revolution QR, a QR code-driven customer feedback service to help businesses gather real-time customer feedback and transform that information into improved business practices. Feedback Revolution QR weds the technology of QR codes and smartphones with extensive customer satisfaction research published by Harvard, making the service a game changer in customer feedback, according to South Office.
South Office describes Feedback Revolution QR this way:
Because the service is quick and easy, people are more likely to participate and provide valuable customer feedback. The customer sees the code and scans it with their smartphone. A list of at most five questions appears on the phones screen. The customer types or uses speech to text on the phone and then transmits their feedback by touching a submit button. It typically takes less than 60 seconds to provide feedback. Customers who do not have a smartphone can participate on their computer or any other device that has an Internet connection, using the URL for the customer survey.
Once customers have scanned the code, they can answer the questions anywhere while theyre in the store or restaurant, walking around the mall, walking to their car. And because their responses are anonymous, they can be honest about their customer service experience. Anonymity also eliminates the guilt some customers feel in providing honest feedback.
South Office LLC helps businesses measure and manage the quality of their customer experience and make improvements to their internal operations to enhance business performance and increase revenue. The company focuses on providing tools that make customer feedback easy and that will generate real-time results for companies.
