Orange Motors teams F&I, sales staffs to win big
Steven Myers: "Out of all the changes, this was the most difficult, making sure the salespeople let me or the other financial manager talk to all of the customers -- for compliance, for best practices and for sales." |
Dealer Carl Keegan lets finance and insurance managers take risks and make mistakes.
And that's made all the difference at his store, Orange Motors in Albany, N.Y.
"We push the envelope and go for maximizing the profit but also maximizing the customer's experience," says Steven Myers, senior finance manager at Orange Motors.
With 95 years in business, Orange Motors recently made its F&I office the key profit center of the business, Keegan says. And it has done it with the help of Myers, a once homeless man, who devised a way to make the sales and F&I forces one team with the sole focus of boosting F&I revenue.
Myers and his boss, Frank Diantonio, stoked that team spirit with a plan devised early last year. They hold frequent training sessions; they adjusted pay plans that give salespeople more back-end commission; and they have a new, streamlined menu-selling process.
The result: The dealership, which sells Ford and Mazda, sells 60 to 70 of Ford's extended-service contract a month.
And its F&I office consistently brings in $150,000 or more in sales each month -- up 20 percent from a year earlier. Orange Motors sells about 3,600 new and used vehicles annually.
Myers, 38, recalls a defining moment that prompted him to devise the plan that's leading the F&I sales success today.
The F&I team was pulling in around $120,000 a month in F&I sales, Myers says. But boss Keegan turned up the heat.
"He said, 'Great job, but I need another $30,000 in sales a month,'" Myers says. "I thought: 'What the heck am I gonna do?' So I looked at our system to figure out what we can do to make that happen."
Last fall Myers started urging his bosses to have the finance team hold weekly 15-minute sessions. In the meetings, they review the sales data and hash out ideas to improve customer service and increase revenue, Myers says.
Myers, a high school dropout, often leads the meetings. He applies lessons he acquired from Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University while learning how to get out of his personal debt.
"It's completely revolutionized my life," Myers says. "But what it's about isn't the money. Everything in life is about relationships with people."
To better build relationships, Keegan agreed to pay to send his finance managers and salespeople to professional training sessions on selling F&I products, Myers says.
In June, Myers and two salespeople attended a three-day session to learn how to better segue from the sales desk to the finance office. Myers says he applied the lessons learned when he returned and made $20,000 in F&I sales in three days.
One of the other biggest changes the dealership made to its process of selling F&I was persuading the sales team to let a finance manager talk to each customer in the showroom before a deal was done or the customer entered the finance office, Myers says.
"Out of all the changes, this was the most difficult, making sure the salespeople let me or the other financial manager talk to all of the customers -- for compliance, for best practices and for sales," Myers says.
But once it kicked in, the bond between salespeople and finance managers grew.
"We're writing more deals now," Myers says. "Salespeople have learned to trust me because they know now exactly what I'm going to say to their customers."
A rough week
The drive toward teamwork started with monetary spiffs.
In January, Myers tweaked the dealership's F&I pay plan to inspire salespeople to sell more high-profit-margin extended-service contracts and fewer lower margin products.
Myers says he stopped paying a generous $140 spiff to salespeople for easy-to-sell products such as rustproofing. Instead, he boosted the commission on the harder-to-sell extended-service plan from $50 to $100.
"It was a rough week; many salespeople were upset," Myers says. "Once they got over the pain of losing the rustproofing, they realized they need to sell service contracts."
He told the sales team that whoever sold 10 extended-service contracts a month would get an added bonus.
"I wanted a wow factor. I wanted to grab their attention," Myers says. "By literally feeding that beast, we went from 30 warranty sales a month to 60 because I made it so aggressive to pay them and I didn't have to cut any profit to make the deal."
To further encourage sales staff to sell F&I products, Myers says, salespeople certified to sell the products by 2013 will get a higher spiff off the back end of a vehicle sale than noncertified salespeople.
Finally, the F&I office started menu selling in January, replacing the old system of step selling.
With step selling, Myers says, the finance manager would try to upsell a customer from a less expensive product to a pricier one.
A menu system allows finance managers to show a customer all the products available and then customize a package to best meet that customer's needs. The result is a more customer-friendly sales process, Myers says, and growing revenue.
That's a trend, Myers is confident will continue.
"We're going to be doing $200,000 a month consistently, and I put that on the line," he says. "Next year, I believe we'll see a $300,000 month."

Underneath this chair are all the stencilled and inked inventory marks that should connect it with a set of chairs supplied to Napoleon I at the Palais des Tuileries in Paris between 1799 and 1803. In fact the chair is a fake. The faker has taken the frame of a genuine chair from this set and decorated it in a much grander fashion. The foot mounts, for instance, were designed for a table, and close inspection of the sides of the front legs shows that they have had to be built out to make them thick enough to fit the mounts.

So May is Short Story Month. Which means I'm going to use this week to celebrate this funny little creature. From flash fiction to the near-novella, the short story needs a little love. To kick it off, courtesy of Candlewick Press, I'm offering up a copy of STEAMPUNK! An Anthology of Fantastically Rich and Strange Stories edited by Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant.
From Amazon:
Imagine an alternate universe where romance and technology reign. Where tinkerers and dreamers craft and re-craft a world of automatons, clockworks, calculating machines, and other marvels that never were. Where scientists and schoolgirls, fair folk and Romans, intergalactic bandits, utopian revolutionaries, and intrepid orphans solve crimes, escape from monstrous predicaments, consult oracles, and hover over volcanoes in steam-powered airships.

In the 1st episode of best wishes it says he still the age as when he started his journey 10 he should be at least 30 by now. in the first season it said he had been traveling for months after he beat misty.
The date of Ash's birth, according to Takeshi Shudo's anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days exactly prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.

smoothie packs &
my favorite smoothie
I've got another quickie for you tonight. It's more of an idea than a recipe. I'm sure a lot of you Budget Byters already stock your freezers with these handy smoothie packs, but I wanted to share the tip for those who may be new to the kitchen. Not only does this make smoothies faster and easier to make, but they're a fraction, a small fraction, of what you'll pay at your local smoothie counter.So, the formula is easy. Three one pound bags of frozen fruit of your choice, and four bananas. Divide the frozen fruit up into 8 bags, and place half of a peeled banana in each bag as well. Seal them up tight and toss them into the freezer. When you're ready to make your delicious smoothie, place the frozen fruit in the blender, add milk (or soy or almond milk), and whatever else you want and press go! No more hauling ten ingredients out of the freezer every time you want to make one smoothie. Just grab one bag and add a liquid. Sure, I also add spinach, cinnamon, and ground flax seed, but it's still way easier to have the fruit divided up. And it only takes about 5 minutes to make all 8 packs.
This is my favorite smoothie - peaches, strawberries, raspberries, banana, spinach, light vanilla soy milk, ground flax seed, and cinnamon. It works, trust me! If you like things sweet, add a touch of honey and it'll blow you away.
Smoothie Packs:
16 oz. | frozen strawberries | $2.69 |
16 oz. | frozen raspberries | $4.15 |
16 oz. | frozen peaches | $2.69 |
4 medium | bananas | $0.86 |
Fruit n' Flax Smoothies:
1 | frozen smoothie pack | $1.30 |
1 cup | light vanilla soy milk | $0.41 |
1 handful | baby spinach | $0.53 |
1 Tbsp | ground flax seed | $0.03 |
1/2 tsp | cinnamon | $0.03 |
Step By Step Photos
This is what goes into the frozen smoothie packs. I switch up the fruit a lot (I like blueberries too), but I always try to have at least three. Adding frozen bananas to a smoothie gives it a nice ice cream-like texture. If you've never used a frozen banana in your smoothie, then you haven't lived. Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme, but you've got to try it.
Divide the fruit between 8 freezer bags. One of my bananas turned out to be completely rotten inside so I could only make six this time around. I always tend to over estimate how much fruit is needed per smoothie and then I can't fit it all in the blender. So, about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of each of the frozen fruits per bag. Then just pop them in the freezer until you're ready to make a smoothie. They'll stay good in the freezer for a couple of months. The bananas will slowly turn brown, but they're still good eats for a while.
When you're ready to make a smoothie, just put the frozen fruit in a blender with some liquid (and whatever else you want) and you're ready to blend. I add spinach for the nutrients, not the flavor... you can't taste it with all of the fruit. It blends easier if the spinach is at the bottom.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE milk... but in my smoothies I like light vanilla soy milk. It just has more creaminess than milk and the vanilla goes great with the fruit. In the old days, before Silk was everywhere, I used milk and added vanilla extract. So, that's an option too.
I like to add some flax for fiber and omega-3s, and cinnamon just because I like it :) If I'm craving something sweet, I'll add a tablespoon of honey or so, but usually the fruit and silk are sweet enough for me.
Blend that sucker up 'till it's nice and smooth! Sometimes I have to add a touch of water or more silk just to get it going. That's what will happen if you have too much frozen fruit in your pack. It'll be waaaaaay too thick to blend properly.
Oh yums. It's good. And good for you. And spinach? What spinach?
I loved the suggestion to put avocados in smoothies (thanks, Brent!) and I can't wait to experiment with that. So, for all of you smoothie lovers out there...

While most newer furnaces operate at about 80-percent fuel efficiency, new federal regulations will kick it up one notch further. On May 1, any furnace installed in the northern half of the United States must be at least 90-percent fuel efficient.

Dear Editor,
I would like to begin by commending Mr. Singletary for having the fortitude to write a letter to the editor.
The letter itself is a testament to the failure of education in Richmond County. For those of you who did not read the original letter let me quote just the first sentence. "Do you think Richmond Senior High School is being operated right, why isn't students to happy about going to school." This is the writing of a senior.
This is the work of student who will graduate in four months and go out into the world unable to write a grammatically correct, or even a coherent sentence.
I do not mean to attack Mr. Singletary, but hope that his attempt at writing will enlighten the community as to the significant shortcomings of education in Richmond County.

Hi everyone! I don't have my laptop right now so sadly I can't make the Comic Con post I was planing to. :( I can however make a post telling you the outfits she wore! When Elizabeth first got to Comic Con to surprise fans she wore a: 3.1 Phillip Lim white short sleeve dress with an attached high waist asymmetric floaty skirt from the Resort 2013. She wore: Christian Louboutin Neuron Heels with it. You can buy the shoes here! When Elizabeth went back to Comic Con for the panels and everything else she wore a: vintage black striped, white long-sleeve tuxedo romper. She wore the Christian Louboutin Neuron Heels again with the outfit. Before the panel in Hall-H though she changed her shoes and had on: Christian Louboutin "Love Me" 45. You can buy the shoes here! |
A picture of some of the cast members in Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (including Elizabeth!) will be in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly! The issue will be out this Friday!

Breaking Dawn will be at Comic Con again this year on Thursday, July 12, in Hall H. Update 1: The panel will be at 12:45-1:45!

Update 2: Summit announced which stars will be at Comic Con and Elizabeth is one of them! I am so happy she will be there! If any of you take pictures with or of Elizabeth while there please send them to me and I'll post them on the site!

It will all start at 1 p.m. ET/ 10 a.m. PT so be sure you go to MTV.com to watch! |
The second Breaking Dawn - Part 2 teaser trailer has come out and Elizabeth is in it! I believe we see her at these times: 59 seconds in, 1:02, and I believe at 1:10 in front of Kebi. You can see a picture of what I think is Esme at 1:10. Just don't blink when you get to 1:10. ;) I wish we would've heard her talk but maybe we will when the full trailer comes out. Anyway you can see the teaser here! |
The Twitter account for The Twilight Saga says that another teaser will come out on Wednesday at 8am ET/5am PT. I'm wondering if it will actually be the trailer and not a teaser since a teaser has already come out. I'm assuming it will actually be a trailer. If Elizabeth is in it I will of course post it! |

Because when facing a dead HDD, the line between hope and dispair tends to become the line between "rage and won't bother", and because some people like to push that line in the good direction, I'll tell you all what happened last week.
A laptop came in with no HDD recognized. I hooked it with an external (sata to USB) connector. The noise was a loud "bzzzzz, ....bzzzzz,....bzzzzz,....bzzzzz" like a mobile phone in silent mode. A device was found but nothing was appearing in Disk Manager. I just got an other HDD and we reinstalled the computer. It turned out later that a file was really needed from the dead HDD. So I got it out the bin, and tried again. Bzzz Bzzz. I hit it on the desk, holding it vertically, a bit harder, a bit harder, and "TAC" ! there it was! called a colleague to copy the file while still holding the drive (and my breath). Wow. I then took a Ghost image of the drive and it went through, without any error (just an NTFS warning at the beginning). Sometimes you need a bit of luck. One more to add to the freezer trick; "hit it hard".

I hit that HDD on the table.... and now it works. one more "In some rare cases" story.

I wonder if hitting the hard disk in the freezer could be a valid troubleshooting step someday...
Posted 22 November 2011 - 10:08 AM
Posted 27 November 2012 - 12:58 PM
In addition to bouncing our failed disks off tables or putting them in the freezer, I have found a new method: Putting them in the oven.
My son's school data was on the water soaked hard drive, so I put it in the oven and baked it at 60 Celsius for 4 hours. That did the trick, the hard drive works perfect... I backed up all the data, just to be sure. Try to explain to the teacher that you couldn't get your report done because your PC caught on fire. Something like, "teacher, the dog ate my homework..."

Yep , the "PC caught on fire and school data was on the water soaked hard drive" could be added as corollary to #32 here:
More seriously it is UNlikely that water actually entered the mechanical part of the HDD, so, yes drying the disk in the oven at 60° is perfectly "sound" .

It has been said in order to understand the future we must first understand events of the past. Elmhurst Historical Museum, call its home, Glos Mansion. Originally the private residence of Henry and Lucy Glos, Henry was a civic leader and past village president. Located on Park Avenue, in the center of Elmhurst, it is perfectly perched to have commanding views of the city. The museum collections form a fascinating mosaic of Elmhurst life, it collects, preserves and interprets significant original materials to share the stories that are the history of Elmhurst.

Vermont has been working on the problem of runoff going into Lake Champlain for 40 years.
Farms and urban sources including wastewater treatment plants, private septic systems and stormwater runoff have been in the spotlight.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, (D) Vt. signed a bill last week which includes a directive to the Agency of Natural Resources to take another step toward mitigating the problem.
The ANR has until the end of the year to come up with a plan that would get control of pollution running into Vermont lakes and figure out how to pay for the plan.
"Well it's a really tall order, said ANR Secretary Deb Markowitz.
She said a year is not enough time to reasonable expect everything lawmakers are asking of the agency.
"Because not only were we asked to take a look at all of the variety of sources of pollution and come up with solutions, but we were also charged with coming up with some sort of funding mechanism," said Markowitz.
Funding will be a very big part of the discussion.
For years the non-profit Lake Champlain Committee has been pushing the state to come up with a steady, predictable income source that will allow conservationists to get more done.
"We've been doing good things to improve water quality. What we know is we're not doing enough. And the reason we're not doing enough is we don't have the money for it," said Lake Champlain Committee staff scientist Mike Winslow.
He says he's very interested to see if the state can come up with a workable funding plan.

Great drive, but fragile!Pros: Super fast drive. Never had a computer start up so fast! Cons: Fragile hardware (more specifically, the power connections plastic "key") Other Thoughts: Bought this drive under the reccomendation of a friend, and I have to say, the bang for buck factor really plays a part. I looked at drives locally that were selling for 30-40 dollars more, and had less performance. The only issue I had, thus the 4 eggs instead of 5, is the plastic L-shaped key for the power cable. While installing the drive, the plastic piece broke off, causing the pins to bend. I had to slide the piece into the power connector, bend the pins back,and slide the connector on. It still works, but I'm debating on whether or not I should RMA the drive. Did you find this review helpful? |

Found out this is a common problem to this line of ssd's and many others have had theirs fail soon after purchase. I am currently attempting to return the ssd as it is under warranty, but I will immediately resell it online and try to gather some cash to buy from a different manufacturer. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

There's a handful of markers I'd like to own or play with extensively - an automag with UL body, an alien, a PM, creed, marq/closer, shocker/quest, and infinity legend.
Finally get around to really evangelizing mech play. I've lived the pump world (and I don't want to go back!), but I'd rather play in the woods with a bunch of guys all sporting mechanical markers. I keep saying I'll put my money where my mouth is with equipment advice, but I never do. Maybe that will change with the new Spyders and eNMEy coming out next year.
Go to Living Legends.

Regardless the outcome of the attempt by state Rep. Kim King to halt the Democrat-devised redistricting of Kentucky, there no longer remains any doubt just how dirty politics truly are.
For those just joining this picture show, King was booted out of Anderson and Spencer counties when House Democrats approved a plan to draw a new district line that split King's home county of Mercer just a few miles from where she lives. She now lives in another district and, pending the outcome of judge's ruling late Tuesday afternoon, cannot seek re-election here.

Kentucky school districts can earn a $10,000 grant, if they are one of the first 57 school districts to raise their dropout age from 16 to 18. Kentucky education commissioner Terry Holliday says the money is already in the department's budget. Kentucky's legislature passed a bill this year that allows local districts to decide if they want to raise the age, but a provision states once 55 percent of districts make the decision to increase the age, then the change will be made statewide within four years.

Best Uses
Comments about Zoic Ether Shorts 2013:
These shorts are great for warm weather. They have a wicking panel between the legs for the full length of the shorts and the liner is very breathable. The main fabric is also made of a rip-stop material, which is good for falls and such.
I am a very skinny person (28) and managed to get a medium to fit snugly with the nice velcro pull tabs and loop closures.
There are also plenty of pockets including ones up top that have a shape that resists spillage. The ones more down towards the knee have solid water resistant zippers on them and are good for things like keys (as long as the items are light, to avoid pendulum effect).
Downsides: The material on the quads can chafe right above the knee, its just a little rough to the touch. Also, for me, the chamois is a little too thin to really do much, but it doesn't get in the way so its alright to have it there.
Bottom line: These are cheaper than many comparable products and provide almost all of the required features of a good MTB short, however they aren't great for long rides due to the chafing issue.

Basically, marketing for law firms is the kind of marketing that is done by people in the legal profession or lawyers. It has to be found the most basic things today, as far as the legal career is concerned. It has also been often stated that legal marketing is what differentiates successful lawyers from those that are not successful. It is, essential to note that the importance of legal marketing should not be taken for granted and it should be one applied to all legal corporations. It is vital that we look at the importance of the above principle in detail.
All professionals and attorneys cannot survive in today's environment without marketing themselves. It is, therefore, crucial to note that attorneys cannot survive without lawyer marketing. This is mainly because; the legal business mainly thrives on sales and without marketing, it would be impossible to sell anything. In case you are really not into the lawyer marketing, you should probably find a business that does not require you to market yourself or your firm. In case you are a partner in a law firm, the security of your job has been mainly depends on how well you market yourself and how many clients you are able to bring in. This is true, regardless of whether you are a junior or senior partner. The more clients you bring in, the more you are likely to keep your job or company. In addition, if you are been planning to look for a new law firm, the first thing that your potential employers will ask is how much business you are bringing with you. It is, therefore, very essential that you learn how to market yourself.
In order to understand how to market yourself, or the principles of advertising for law firms, there are a few essential things are there to understand. The first thing that you have to do is to properly understand the principles of marketing. After fully understanding these, you should then incorporate them into your practice of the law and ensure that they are helpful. In addition, it is also vital that you create an actual marketing plan. In other words, you ought to write down your marketing plan, so as to make it extremely easy for you to follow. It is vital to note that, after formulating your marketing plan, you should make sure that you have to follow it to the latter.
Another thing that you should have in mind is that, you must have your priorities straight. In other words, when formulating your plan, you should be clear about whether you are making the plan for the firm as a whole or for you. Here, you should examine if you intend to take your clients with you, when you leave the firm. It is also essential that you be clear about the law practice you want and who your target clients are. All in all, the organization and planning is very much essential as far as the legal marketing is been concerned.

What others are saying
"EastSet says it all"Cary Rickmeyer of Fond du Lac, WI
Nice to work with as this weighted airline is supple and pliable to go where you want it to. And its weight keeps it there. Heed the advice of using 5/8" dia. on long runs as reducing down to 3/8" dia. is hard on the aerator. It would be nice if 5/8" di. came shorter lengths than just the 100 ft.

The product performs as promised. The price is a little high. It is just air hose.
