Digital Dealer - February 2018 - 4

From the
Show Director

Dear Readers,

This month, we're excited to bring you a cover
story interview with Toni Anne Fardette, who
has been coined "The Billion Dollar Girl" for
tremendously increasing group-wide production and process across the 1.1 billion-dollar,
24-rooftop Atlantic Automotive Group since
stepping into her position as Director of Business Development there in 2011.
In the interview with Toni Anne on page 28,
she shares her insight on how to set up and
manage a successful BDC. She also talks about
the challenges of maintaining a work-life
balance and how she is able to successfully
balance between those two commitments.
If you're joining us on Feb. 13-14 of this month
for the Digital Dealer Workshops (DDW) Chicago event (there's still time to register if you
haven't) you will not only have the chance to
meet Toni Anne, but to learn from her as well.
Toni Anne will be a panelist on the opening
Keynote Panel, and presenting her own workshop as well.
In her breakout session, she'll share her very
own proven BDC approach that not only gives
consumers what they want, but the dealership what they need in order to strengthen

operations and performance. This approach
is centered around modeling your BDC into
a Concierge Center -- a necessary change for
the "new customer" who wants instant online
information and website transparency. You'll
learn everything from how to hire the right
people for your Concierge Center to what metrics to use to hold them accountable.
On pages 24-27, you'll find some of the featured
presenters on the agenda for the Digital Dealer
24 Conference & Expo (April 10th-12th in Orlando, FL).
