    Hello, Thomas Ieracitano - DigitalCarGuy.com

    AND SELL CARS!!
    You know how important the Internet (and your Internet Department) is to your dealership. If you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this.
    The biggest step in developing an Internet Department, or turning around an ineffective one, is to acknowledge areas of improvement.

    Managing an Internet Department differs greatly from managing traditional dealership departments.
    There are specific skill sets and tactics required to make an effective Internet Department, Manager and/or Dedicated Internet Salesperson(s).
    Identifying and developing those skills, and the best ways to apply them, takes experience, time and effort.

    Thomas Ieracitano has the knowledge and experience to take your dealership to the next level.
    With internet advertising strategies, websites, Google, search engine,search engine optimization, search engine marketing, inventory management tools and brings this all together in a simple easy to use process.
    Using your existing systems, evaluating or looking for new software, I can help you bring dollars to your net bottom line.
    Dealers whether you are a Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, or a Non Franchise New or Used Vehicle Car, Truck, SUV dealer.
    Or a Yamaha, Honda, Harley Davidson Motorcycle, ATV, RV, John Deere, Kaboda Tractor or Heavy Equipment dealer.
    I can and will increase your business! Ask me how today.
