One of CrossCheck’s finest, Senior Vice President Charles Dortch III, will be the featured speaker at a business luncheon by the Sacramento Chapter of the Auto Dealers Office Management Association (ADOMA) on Feb. 19. He will discuss the lifetime customer value offered by CrossCheck services and how they help increase sales and mitigate risk while saving time and money. Highlights include CrossCheck's Auto Industry RDC Solution (C.A.R.S.), Flat Fee Warranty and Plus Sales (for checks declined by other vendors). He will also cover the services of two CrossCheck affiliates, Constant Processing and Qualia Collection Services.

Helping service managers discover payment solutions for their auto dealerships is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. If I can address a dozen or so in one place, then I’ve increased the odds of finding personal satisfaction that many times. A recent meeting of the San Diego GM Retail Service Manager’s Club, a division of the New Car Dealers Association San Diego County, offered such an opportunity. A longtime proponent of trade associations, I wrote an article called "Ten Reasons to Join an Association" in 2012, explaining the numerous benefits (see inset).

CrossCheck has been attending the National Automobile Dealers Association Annual Conference and Expo for 20 plus years and 2015 was no exception.

With elaborate booths, speakers the likes of Jeb Bush and Jay Leno, hundreds of exhibitors and 8,000 plus dealerships represented, NADA 2015 leaves us awestruck!  Marquees welcome conventioneers while models, magicians and money woo auto dealers to booths for the exhibitor's hope of 30 seconds focused on their pitch. For many, this show will make or break their year, so the sales pressure is on -- which may explain why Exhibitors ignore all show attendees except the ones possessing the "Manager" or "Dealer" ribbon on their registration badge.

Among the many fascinating things about Hawaii there’s this: while the rest of America drives less and less, Hawaiians drive more and more – in fact their average mileage is going up at more than twice the rate the rest of the country’s is going down. This interests us not just because we belong to the Hawaii Auto Dealers Association and serve some of the best auto dealerships in the state.It matters to us because we see an opportunity here, and we believe it’s our job to make sure we help our customers seize it.
