Announcing SF Convention Speaker – Joe Courrege
2008 SFC
Auto Dealer Monthly is pleased to announce that Joe Courrege will be speaking at the 2008 Special Finance Convention. Courrege is the president of Car TV Network.
Infomercials have been used by special finance dealers since the mid-90s to both great success and great pain. Mr. Courrege’s presentation will focus on the best practices he has seen from his top performing dealers’ infomercials, what your expectations should be, and what systems and processes you must have in place to make them an efficient way of driving sales.
The 2008 SF Convention is the only convention dedicated solely to special finance and will be held in Dallas, Texas. The two-and-a-half day convention begins Sunday, Aug. 17 at the Fairmont hotel and ends in the afternoon on Tuesday the 19th. At this event, there are 11 hours dedicated to education led by four of the top SF trainers in the country, and attendees will have the opportunity to network with 300+ professionals in the special finance industry. To register, call 888.490.0303.
About Joe Courrege
Mr. Courrege has been working with elite special finance dealers for over a decade to assist them with creative infomercial programming and sound procedures to drive a large quantity of traffic that turns into dealership visits and ultimately sales.
Courrege has spent the last three decades developing his systematic marketing program, which generates high gross profits for dealerships. While successfully representing hundreds of NFL players, he moved into the car business with the purchase of his first dealership in the ‘70s. This direct knowledge of the car industry provided him the blueprint to his successful formula. Courrege now works with dealerships to achieve this same success proven in any market condition.
