SEASON 2 | EPISODE 18
If you’re not embracing data, you might want to think about the dealer down the street who is.
Today, Derek D talks with two automotive data experts. Tracy Fred is Vice President of three Cox Automotive brands: Dealertrack DMS, VinSolutions, and Xtime. Elton O’Neal is Cox Automotive’s Senior Director of Data Strategy.
“Every consumer out there wants a personalized experience, and leveraging data allows dealers to deliver that personalized experience.”
— Tracy Fred
Together, they flesh out the case for why data is now paving the path forward for sales in all markets, including the automotive industry.
Episode Highlights:
- What is the difference between open and closed approaches to data, and how are dealerships now benefiting from an open approach?
- How can startup companies help dealerships not only access but also interpret data, to help make decisions that lead to greater ROI?
