  • Ted knows the business

    I have worked with Ted on legal and compliance issues for almost 10 years and he brings a lot of knowledge from going up in the business to bear. He has a fine understanding of the business from beginning to end due to his buy here pay here background. I look forward to future podcasts to expand my knowledge on the finer points of the industry.

Q: Why should a dealer consider outsourcing media rather than doing it in-house?
A dedicated team with a standardized process ensures consistent quality and faster, more reliable listings, reducing dependency on in-house staff who may lack time or training, and it helps maintain brand integrity across all online channels.

Q: What are your thoughts on AI-generated images for inventory?
