Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising gives your business the online visibility it needs to connect your products and services with potential customers. Unlike traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which takes time and continuous updates, Pay-Per-Click gets your customized advertisement in front of your customers quickly via "sponsored listings" on popular search engines as Google and Yahoo.
For more information regarding Pay-Per-Click advertising, please email keyroyalfinancial@gmail.com and one of our agents will be in contact.

-a wise dealer
Recruiting good salespeople is a daily task. Keep your eyes open. Make sure that you are not looking past the great server at the restaurant, the guy that seems to always sell you sunglasses even when is dark outside, the lady that could demo a pair of slacks like they were $30,000.00, etc.

Correction to Press Release on Oct. 4th 2011
KeyRoyal Financial Services would like to update and modify our press release dated October 4th, 2011, regarding the liquidation of Western Insurance Company. We wish to clarify that the Western Insurance liquidation order of September 9th, 2011 had no direct relation to SideCars Insurance Company, LTD and had no immediate effect on the program marketed as the "SideCars" collateral protection program. It has been brought to our attention that SideCars, Inc. replaced policies issued by Western Insurance Company prior to the date of the liquidation order avoiding any interruption of coverage arising from the Western insolvency.
August 12th, 2011: Seth Godin; Set the alarm clock the night before.
Situational goal adjustment is a real problem.
Don't set the clock when your tired, set it when you are planning your day. Don't whittle away at your sales goals right after a serious rejection, set them when your on a roll.
The discipline is in obeying the rule you set when you were in a different mood than you are now. That's what makes it a rule as opposed to a guideline.
July 5, 2011: NADA Report; F&I Income up 15% over 2010.
