(FRANKFORT, Ill.) – January 22, 2010 – Dealer HD’s Vice President of Sales, Justin Duff sat down with Auto Success this month to discuss the industry, his experience and Dealer HD’s take on where dealerships are headed with interactive media, for a podcast that airs today.

The podcast, available for download on AutoSuccessOnline.com and iTunes, it is a first for Dealer HD and a starting point for becoming more vocal in the industry.  “Up until now, we’ve been fairly quiet.  Our focus has been building the best products we can and earning trust.  Now we’re ready to start making some noise,” said Justin Duff, Vice President of Sales.

Topics include: effective website tools, SEO strategy and the use of video.  Duff discusses how dealers can improve the effectiveness of their websites to garner more quality leads.  Social media is also a hot topic.  He describes the roles social media plays for dealerships.  ”Dealers need to think of social media more as a way to build relationships with their customers, rather than a direct sales approach.”  Full details are available in the podcast.

Partnering with Auto Success on the podcast as well as with other advertising ventures in 2010 Dealer HD is planning to become a more prominent fixture in the dealer website market.  With new Dealer HD products and services up for release early this year you can expect to see and hear a lot more about DHD.
