Jon Frederick posted thisOn X aka Twitter, the business crowd sees itself as well above LinkedIn. “What do people even do on LinkedIn?” “Who’s actually on there?” Being an X person instead of a LinkedIn person is a badge of honor. I’ll concede some of it. LinkedIn is less entertaining. The news cycle here runs about 24 hours behind X. But I’ve recruited, marketed, and sold far more here than I ever have there. Here’s why I think that is: winning on X requires an always-on internet brain. Most of the executives who actually sign contracts, approve budgets, and make hires don’t have one, and don’t want one....more

I'm very grateful for people like Jon Frederick, who took a leap of faith on himself starting Freddy Media… And took a leap of faith on me as one of the Day 1 creators to join the company. We've been CRUSHING it. The connections we've built together and the growth we've had is honestly crazy. That saying "it's not what you know, it's who you know" is kinda true.

Jon Frederick shared thisThe National Security Agency just told every organization running PHP: patch now, or take your site offline. PHP runs roughly 7 in 10 websites, including WordPress. Two critical flaws let an attacker take over a web server with a single request. No password needed. Hackers were exploiting them before the fix existed. And the part that should get your attention: OpenAI found these vulnerabilities. This is the new normal. AI can now find holes in the code underneath the internet faster than humans can patch them. Good guys and bad guys both have access. If you run a business, you probably don’t know what your website runs on. That’s fine. But today, send your website vendor one question:“Are we on PHP, and have we installed the October 21 patch? ”If they can’t answer quickly, that’s your answer....more

Jon Frederick liked thisJon Frederick liked thisWhat an incredible honor to have the engineering team from Hiroshima Japan come visit us and talk about MX5 they have designed and where it’s going. Such an amazingly smart group of high level engineers from Japan that love what they do and more importantly support what we are trying to do in buisness. Asking our feedback and where we think there are more opportunities was truly an honor. Look out other manufacturers because Mazda is coming for perfection in every step of the way! Thank you all for the visit to Whaling City Mazda and your support!

From joining students at the float build on Bowman Field to celebrating with alumni at Tigerama, I saw firsthand how these moments connect generations of Tigers and strengthen our shared bond with Clemson. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me and made my first Homecoming one I won’t soon forget.

Auto Market Insights • 2K followers
The most expensive field missing from most automotive vendor CRMs isn't a phone number. It's the parent dealer group. Roughly 12,000 US franchise rooftops roll up to about 1,300 dealer groups. In a huge share of your market, the decision-maker might not be at the store you targeted. They're at the group level or another group location. Yet most auto tech CRMs treat every rooftop as a standalone account, meaning: Reps pitch a store that lost its decision authority months ago. Marketing runs nurture to 14 rooftops when one group contact decides for all of them. Nobody sees that a "small" new logo is actually the owner's flagship home location of a 40-rooftop group, the single best expansion opportunity and THE target you should prioritize. The best practice we see is a proper account hierarchy inside your CRM: group as parent and a super-group level for some larger groups if your CRM can manage hierarchies, rooftops as children, with brand and location on each child and the decision-maker on the child and parent because some groups let each GM run their locations autonomously while other groups are highly centralized on software and data integrations. Once your CRM is accurate, four things get much easier: enterprise pipeline rolls up cleanly, land-and-expand becomes a ready report, friendly reference accounts within the group become an effective closing tool, and territory assignments can stop splitting groups across reps. The hard part is the CRM mapping itself. Store ownership changes constantly and often without public announcement. That's what our Dealer Group Activity Mapping maintains: 1,300+ groups tied to their ~12,000 stores, with buy/sell activity tracked as it happens each month. Moreover, once you see who's buying and selling stores, you can target active buyers to minimize your new sales churn because buyers almost always drive the internal tech stack and budget review at recently acquired locations. See the structure for yourself at our website and connect with us at https://lnkd.in/gXA7HybR.

Cox Automotive's Dealer Impact Study puts structured BDC operations at 8–12% internet lead conversion. Dealers without structure sit below 3%. The gap opens at message one. VinSolutions' benchmarking data makes the stakes concrete: fewer than 20% of leads that don't respond to the first touch ever re-engage — no matter how many follow-up sequences run after it. The first message is not step one of a nurture flow. It is the only shot most leads will read. High-converting first responses share four elements: the specific vehicle named (year, make, model, trim), one qualifying question — not three, a direct booking link, and a real name with a working reply-to. Dealerships running Synthevo today have those four elements built into every AI-generated first response, personalized to the lead's inquiry, sent within minutes of submission — without a BDC rep manually drafting each one. The eLead and Reynolds default templates were built for compliance. Synthevo's first response is built to book an appointment. Learn more at synthevo.com #automotive #dealershipops #AIforAutomotive
