An Internet shopper is caught off-guard when he attempts to push for additional discounts after agreeing to an Internet price with the car dealership’s Internet Manager. This comedic video shows what would happen if Dateline NBC’s Chris Hanson shows up and puts a halt to the customer’s efforts.

Check out my largely improvised reenactment and promo video for the Ignite Dealer Summit in Minneapolis MN. This is how I believe Cuneo Advertising Agency arrived at the name Ignite Dealer Summit. Obviously, none of the actors in this production are affiliated with the agency and our reenactment is totally fake and without merit. Enjoy.

Guy Internet and his Drive Shaft team will blow your mind with results. (An obvious spoof at another ill-conceived and failed training program. Just more car sales comedy from Joe Webb.

For those that know me, they know that, above and beyond my crazy and comedic sensibilities, I pride myself on being a family man first.  Well, in 2 months, my wife and I are proudly expecting our 2nd child.   So here is the contest:  If you can guess (on your 1st guess) right here on this thread the weight of my child at birth, YOU will get to star in one of my next comedic car sales videos I film.   Just leave your comments at the bottom of this post!
I’ve included the current guesses I received on my Facebook page post for this contest below.

Rules:
1)  No hints should be shared by those that know anything.
2)  It must be made within a week of this post.
3)  t must be exact – not closest.  This isn’t Price is Right rules.
4)  If, for any reason, a weight is already taken by another guesser, feel free to choose that same weight.  If for any reason the person is unable to make the video shoot, you will be chosen.
5)  Logistics will be worked out later.  Whether we will come to film near you, you will come to us, or we will film in a centralized city, it will be decided on later.
6)  My goal is that these videos will debut during one of my speaking sessions at a fall automotive conference.

Good luck.

Buford sells out trailer parks nationwide with his comedic act about automotive internet sales and is known for his catchphrases “Ain’t she a beaut!” and “…you might not be an e-Dealer.”

*It is well known that he is not related to Joe Webb, but does often use Joe as his opening act. Likely, based on the accent and hairstyle, Buford originates from either Alabama, Arkansas, or Mississippi. He cannot recall. But what he does know is automotive sales and digital marketing tactics.

Created for the Lead to Appointment Show session at the 8th Digital Dealer Conference, it details how dealerships must put their best foot forward when managing a customer’s expectations before visiting instead of confirming their beliefs that they will be meeting with old school car folks.

A car sales manager interviews a potential employee using only closed ended questions – with hilarious results. Written by Joe Webb and Performed by Joe Webb and Dave Hudson of D Hudson Productions in Chicago, The Not Good Interview details the importance of knowing how auto dealers should interview and what questions (open ended and closed ended) to use to find the right candidate. Also known as the “Jez” video.
