The First Pencil
Kathi Kruse and Mike The Car Guy Correra are best friends, with many many years of retail experience in the car biz. "We decided to get together and talk about the things that are important to us in the auto industry, and hope you’ll come along for the ride. We’ll cover auto industry stuff, dealership profitability, and digital platforms, all with a dose of humor and our love for 80s/90s music. Join us!"

Summer Camp Recap + More w/Kelly Wilson
Kathi and Mike welcome our friend, Kelly Wilson, who’s not only a top-notch dealership Marketing Manager and Internet Manager, but an awesome, high-producing Finance Manager. Kelly gives us a “boots on the ground” recap of the Dealer Knows Summer Camp.
We also talk about overcoming adversity, something that Kelly knows “a little bit” about. She’s a powerhouse of knowledge and enthusiasm.
Highlights:
- Do one thing.
- Simple marketing tactics that sell more cars.
- Employees want to feel valued, customers want to feel valued. With a tight labor market, certain practices are required.
- #AutoFam — Bill Playford, Jessica Ruth, Joe Webb, Gary May, Ryan Leslie, Renee Stuart, Brent Wees, Hunter Swift, and Dara Koenig - so much love and support!
Kelly is looking for her next opportunity. You can reach her on all the socials or her website: https://kellysuewilson.com/
