A huge congratulations to the eCarList team for winning the 2010 Innovation Cup at the Driving Sales Executive Summit. Check out the winning moment from the live webcast moments ago as our CEO, Len Critcher, was presented the award.
We are extremely honored to win the Innovation Cup because of the high level of competition. We were up against the most innovative products in the industry and want to congratulate VinSolutions, Cobalt, Goso and ResponseLogix who were all finalists for this award.
Each of the finalists were given 5 minutes to present last night at the Driving Sales Executive Summit followed by Q&A from a panel of judges. If you missed last night’s presentation, here is a look at the now award winning TrueTarget Mobile app…
Also, congratulations to Marc McGurren for winning the Most Innovative Dealership Strategy of the Year for his eCarList “lot specific” mobile site.
Here’s some additional background on the Innovation Cup from Driving Sales Executive Summit website…
Who has 2010’s best ideas and technologies? Watch as the most innovative products and best dealership strategies are presented to summit attendees, and are then judged and voted on by a panel of dealers. Each presenter has 5 minutes to wow the panel and attendees, and then must answer questions from the dealer judges. Awards will be presented to the top ranked innovators.
The DrivingSales Executive Summit is an exclusive automotive event, laser focused on cutting edge dealership operations. It features an invitation-only guest list of the most successful and innovative dealership operators in the country and world-renowned speakers to educate and inspire the collaborative process. This years Executive Summit will be held at the beautiful Encore hotel in the electrifying city of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event kicks off with a 30,000-foot view of the latest media and economic trends just starting to touch the industry. These high level discussions are then translated down to the 15,000-foot view of how some of the leading dealership innovators are incorporating these trends into new strategies that drive sales at the dealership level. To complete the event are strategy collaboration sessions at the 10-foot dealership view where dealer operators participate with their peers in round table discussions about implementing specific aspects of these newly inspired strategies. The program will inspire you and leave you with a strategic plan to drive measurable results at your store.
Update: The trophy has arrived…
