One of the star attractions at the autoretailing two-day dealer convention is sure to be David Martin –an outstanding speaker at this year’s NADA, according to many of the UK dealers who made the trip to Orlando, Florida.

David will offer autoretailing delegates a fresh perspective and some innovative ideas for turning prospects into buyers in a workshop presentation entitled, Turning ‘I’m Just Looking’ into ‘I’ve Got To Have It’.

Also scheduled to appear at the conference on Day 1 of autoretailing 06 are:

  • Lyell Strambi, chief operating officer, Virgin Atlantic Airlines
    Retaining your valuable customers – a world class success story. Lyell will present a case study of virgin’s success, in a market that has parallels with – and some useful lessons for – the car sales industry.

  • Jonathan Browning, vice-president – sales, marketing and aftersales, GM Europe, and chairman of Vauxhall Motors
    CRM and loyalty schemes that help to sell more cars. Jonathan will look at CRM and loyalty programmes in the motor industry today and in the future – where they are working well, and why, and how manufacturers and dealers can increase retention, particularly through dealer-based initiatives.

  • Rt. Hon Alistair Darling MP, Secretary of State for Transport
    The Government’s vision for transport and motoring. Is the government anti-motoring and anti-motorist? What plans does the government have for motoring and the transport system going forward? What is the latest government thinking on road pricing, alternative fuels, the MoT and more? Don’t miss autoretailing 06 if you want an answer to these questions!

  • Simon Gulliford, former group marketing director, Barclays plc
    How to really engage with your customers. A truly inspiring speaker, Simon will show delegates how to make their companies more successful by using information as a source of competitive advantage, gaining true insight rather than just doing more research, and by genuinely engaging with the customer.
