This year’s candidates for the Most Valuable Insight award will contribute valuable, important and implementable ideas to the dealership innovation conversation at this year’s Presidents Club

Post this

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) March 12, 2015 -- DrivingSales today announced the finalists of the 2015 DrivingSales Most Valuable Insight Competition, which was created to foster the spirit of progress and thought leadership in the auto industry. Contestants for the award are asked to provide an insight, founded on original research, which can provide significant value to dealership executives. Twenty-eight organizations submitted insights, from which 10 semi-finalists and 4 finalists were selected to compete for the sole Most Valuable Insight award at the DrivingSales President’s Club on April 1 in New York City.

The 2015 DrivingSales Most Valuable Insight Finalists are (alphabetically by company):

• "Fine Tune Your Fixed Ops Phone Skills: Inbound call handling secrets revealed," presented by CallSource
• "The Next Chapter of Car Buying: Consumer preference will drive radical change in dealership process," presented by Cox Automotive
• "The Importance of Quality Response," presented by SCI MarketView
• "How Pricing Drives New Vehicle Buyer Preference And Profitability," presented by vAuto

This year’s semifinalists, in alphabetical order, were CDK Global, DealerX, DMEautomotive, Digital Air Strike, Haystak Digital Marketing, and Pearl Technology Holdings. All finalists will be featured in an industry insights review in DealerExec Magazine, which reaches nearly 30,000 dealer execs in the US and Canada.

The DrivingSales Most Valuable Insight finalists were chosen by a panel of top Dealer Principals/Owners and General Managers from innovative dealerships across the US. The submissions were evaluated entirely on their merits, without identifying the submitter. The Dealer Panel based their decisions on the following criteria:

• Insight usefulness and applicability to a dealership/group
• Topic relevancy to a Dealer Principal or GM
• Magnitude of results or impact of the insight to a dealership/group
• Insight originality

“This year’s candidates for the Most Valuable Insight award will contribute valuable, important and implementable ideas to the dealership innovation conversation at this year’s Presidents Club,” said DrivingSales CEO and Founder Jared Hamilton. “Data-based innovation is alive, well and thriving in our industry as evidenced by the fact that we received more applications this year than ever before – and the judges had a tough time choosing just four.”

Each finalist company will present its ‘valuable insight’ on stage at the 2015 DrivingSales Presidents Club. The presentation includes a Q&A with a panel of dealer judges who will score each insight. The finalist company determined to have the Most Valuable Insight will have the opportunity to present findings in more detail at the annual DrivingSales Executive Summit held in Las Vegas in October 2015.

The Most Valuable Insight Competition is part of a high-level line-up at the DrivingSales Presidents Club that includes the former leader of Navy SEAL Team Six, Sonic Automotive’s VP and CMO Rachel Richards, and a keynote, "Winning Consumer Experiences for 2015," from DrivingSales CEO and founder Jared Hamilton. Hamilton will reveal brand new data from the company’s 16-month, $1 million study on the rapid evolution of auto shopping behavior, as well as offering dramatic new insights into what dealers should, and can, do to make their stores more competitive.
