Information Externalities, Car Dealers, and Spaghetti Osteopaths
| |
| Why do some competing stores locate near one another, while others don't? In National City, south of San Diego, there is a stretch called the "Mile of Cars". I dont know if it's a mile or not, but it's pretty much an endless strip of car dealers, from Hyundais to Hondas, and everything inbetween. There are similar areas in most reasonably-sized cities, whether a cluster of car dealers, a car strip, or just a bunch of dealer generally clustered around one another. |

Shades of Grey
| |
| A paperweight sits on my desk, etched in silver the message: Life isn't always black and white. It serves as a reminder there are few absolutes at work (or in life). Yet, it would be easier if there were; if good ideas from bad, trustworthy people from non-trustworthy, and right paths from the wrong ones could easily be discerned. I've learned in twenty years in management that increasing one's perspective increases the grey, as words like always and never become obsolete for describing most situations and most people. |

Automotive Manufactures Site Control - What is it?
| |
| Unfortunately these are trying times for many domestic automobile dealers for a number of reasons. The depth of the problems has much to do with the brand, the market and the dealers' personal situation. For many, losses or a lack of profits is starting to take its toll not just on the bottom line but on the operators and their families, their relationship with the factory and their employees. I have some examples that, unless witnessed, can be hard to appreciate. Hopefully my description will shed light where it is needed, understanding where it must and empathy where it should. |

Brokers, Dealers, Private Lenders, and Venture Capital
| |
| A broker is defined as anyone who makes securities transactions for others. (The exception to this is a bank.) A dealer is defined as someone who buys and sells securities for their own account, through a broker or otherwise.
Most entrepreneurs are looking for start-up capital and for someone else to raise capital for them on a straight commission, with no up-front fees. Only registered broker dealers, and Bona Fide employees, can legally solicit/sell securities for a company on straight commission, with no up-front fees. They always charge an up-front retainer, sometimes called due-diligence fees, before commencing. This fluctuates depending on the complexity of the transactions. Most brokers/dealers avoid startup and early stage companies. A Bona Fide employee cannot be paid commission from the sale of securities. |

As clear as mud
| |
| I was recently car shopping for a 4WD for my partner, Kellie. Looking for a good deal we went into two competing dealers situated near each other. The first was a KIA dealer and the second, Holden. With less than a kilometre separating the two yards, my experience between them dealers could not have been further apart. |

Improve Channel Partner Performance - How to Engage and Collaborate With Partners to Improve ROI
| |
| Manufacturers, in their quest to increase the brand loyalty and mind share of dealer employees, look for ways to increase dealer engagement and collaboration. Engagement is the employee's positive emotional attachment to the organization. Collaboration is the ability of the dealer employee to interact with both manufacturer and other dealers for problem solving and best practices ideas. If you can do a better job of engaging and collaborating with your dealers, they will do a better job representing your brand and selling your product, increasing your return on investment (ROI). |

Market Development Funds - How Channel Partners Become Your Best Allies
| |
| A manufacturer providing a Market Development Fund (MDF) program would seem like a perfect solution for the company and its dealers, right? It's a cooperative endeavor that supports channel partner marketing campaigns to generate demand and a greater return on investment than what each company could have achieved on its own, yes? So why, then, did I hear this from one of our heavy equipment manufacturing customers - "We had MDF programs for years for co-op advertising, direct mail and other initiatives. But, we finally stopped. We couldn't take it anymore. It was too painful for us and our dealers." |
