Burlingame, CA and Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 20, 2013
CarWoo!, the leading online marketplace for automotive buyers and dealers, has been named a finalist for the DrivingSales Innovation Cup Award for the Most Innovative Dealership Solution of 2013. CarWoo!’s Connect for Dealership Websites was selected by a panel of dealer judges from a competitive field of entrants and will be presented onstage at the 2013 DrivingSales Executive Summit (DSES), held Sunday, October 13th through Tuesday, October 15th, 2013 at the Bellagio Las Vegas.
“CarWoo! is honored to have been selected as an Innovation Cup Award finalist,” said Myril Shaw, Vice President, Dealer Relations at CarWoo! “CarWoo'!s Connect for Dealership Websites is a new product that will help dealerships bring functionality to their websites consistent with modern car buyer preferences. We look forward to showing off the product at the Executive Summit in October.”
Since it’s inception, CarWoo! has been a company dedicated to creating a modern car shopping experience online. Buyers are provided a marketplace in which they choose their car, meet local dealers and confirm their purchase in a hassle-free environment. Dealers are given access to engage with shopper who would never hit a traditional quote request form as well as competitive intelligence and insights.
DrivingSales created the Innovation Cup Awards to recognize solutions introduced or enhanced in 2013 whose innovative approaches have produced significant results for dealers. Dealership solution-providers submitted applications online, vendor names were blanked out, and a panel of dealer judges selected the finalists. Finalists will present their solution onstage for the dealer panel and attendees at the DSES on Monday, October 14th.
“The Innovation Cup Award represents one of the highest accolades our industry has to offer its dealership solution providers: the vote of those who understand its benefits the most - auto dealers,” said DrivingSales Founder and CEO Jared Hamilton. “We congratulate CarWoo! on being named a finalist for The Innovation Cup Award from a field of outstanding applicants and look forward to sharing CarWoo!’s progressive solution with attendees at the DrivingSales Executive Summit.”
The Innovation Cup Award competition is part of an exciting DSES line up this year, which includes high-profile keynotes from former U.S. Navy SEAL Officer and decorated combat veteran, Leif Babin, global search marketing authority Danny Sullivan, as well as nineteen dealer-selected breakout sessions from industry experts and dealers on topics ranging from CRM, digital marketing, fixed ops, hiring, creating a culture of success, selling pre-owned vehicles, leveraging ‘big data’, video, and more.
Focused on providing the most relevant profit-building information to help auto dealers formulate their business plans for the following year, the DrivingSales Executive Summit includes three days of collaboration and fresh, leading-edge information from special-topic breakouts, expert panels, dealer and vendor contests, and world-renowned speakers. The DSES is 100% dealer driven and designed specifically for the most advanced dealer principals and dealership executives in the industry. The summit has a vendor-neutral policy, meaning no vendor influence on presentation selection and adherence to a strict dealer-to-vendor ratio.
