		<description><![CDATA[The week before last, I attended the NAAA Dynamic Leadership Institute in Orlando, Florida, hosted by Disney. If you’ve never heard of the Disney Institute, it’s an amazing program. Millions of professionals from around the world attend Disney Institute for business education and training. I was really looking forward to going, and the event absolutely exceeded all of my expectations. The speakers were phenomenal. The leadership training classes were informative and eye-opening. It’s inspiring to personally experience the best practices and business lessons that have made and kept Disney so successful. My favorite part had to be “The Incredible Race” at Disney’s Epcot Center. Not only was it a lot of fun, but it was a wonderful opportunity to meet new people in our industry. We were paired up in teams with people from other auction chains to solve a series of puzzles. It was kind of like a scavenger hunt, but you had to earn clues along the way before moving on to the next step of the race. It really challenged us all to bring our &#8220;A&#8221; game when it comes to creativity, teamwork and communication. But you just can’t beat a hands-on experience for driving home a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cars are about so much more than just getting us from point A to point B. For many of us, especially die hard car lovers, cars evoke a visceral, emotional reaction. I wanted to take a moment to share this cool video I found from Lamborghini. The quality and craftsmanship, the mix of art and science, and the attention to every single detail truly makes the Lamborghini Aventador a work of art. The finishing touches are put on by hand with the upmost care. This is what it takes to build a true masterpiece. Enjoy…]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking to add some sizzle to your sales floor? Maybe it’s time to try a new promotion. Warmer weather means more people are out and about. So, here are a few ideas to increase foot traffic to your dealership and ultimately boost sales. Sponsor a local team Support your community. Promote your dealership. It’s a win-win. Sports sponsorships can help keep your brand top of mind with a variety of would-be buyers. These opportunities can also establish your dealership as an active member of the community. Game on Offer customers a chance to win free gifts, discounted services or even a down payment allowance through a scratch-off game. You could even partner with a local restaurant or retailer to offer a more diverse prize pool. Co-branding a promotion could also help you connect with new markets. Express Saturday Show customers you value their business—and their time. Saturday express service is a real bonus for buyers who find it hard to come in for routine maintenance on a weekday. Customer rewards program Give your customers the VIP treatment. Offer specials like service discounts, complementary car wash and detailing services or priority scheduling. Social media contests Use social media to launch an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My goal is to keep you informed of our progress, because with any major construction project, there&#8217;s bound to be some dust along the way. Nine of our auction locations have already been successfully migrated: ADESA Birmingham, ADESA Houston, ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Austin, ADESA Buffalo, ADESA Des Moines, ADESA Lansing ADESA Knoxville and ADESA Raleigh. Cars from these nine auctions are being offered and sold on OpenLane today. More auction inventory is being migrated weekly. Now, we&#8217;re getting ready to integrate the rest of our U.S. auction locations. We&#8217;re doing everything we can to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Despite our best efforts, we may not have all of the answers right away. But we&#8217;ll get them. Please call us and talk to your local auction if you have any questions or if you encounter any issues. Thank you for your support during this transition. We appreciate your patience as we work to deliver more services and better choices for our customers. Have questions about ADESA OpenLane? Call (866) 969-0321 or email openlane_info@adesa.com.

		<description><![CDATA[I was bummed that I wasn’t able to attend Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this past January, but I really enjoyed reading Tom Caruso’s recap of the event. It sounded like he had a great time pouring over restored classic cars, luxury exotics and rare vehicles. If you missed it, there are photos on ADESA’s official Facebook page. This week, I’ve been on the ground at Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach getting everything ready for the big event since ADESA is a sponsor. This year marks Barrett-Jackson’s 10th anniversary in Palm Beach, and it’s sure to be a celebration. I can’t wait to see the classics, the muscle cars and the hot rods cross the block. I’m also looking forward to connecting with some old friends and making some new ones. Stay tuned. We’ll be sharing photos and updates from Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach.]]></description>
