J&L Marketing announced today that Vice President of Sales Russell Grant will serve as a featured speaker at the 15th Digital Dealer Conference and Exposition October 15 through 17, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV.
A 20-year veteran of the automotive industry, Grant will focus on data security and provide best practices for keeping data secure within dealerships, as well as information about how to ensure vendors have the necessary policies and procedures in place to keep a dealer’s data secure.
“Big data is a hot topic in the automotive industry,” said Grant. “Dealers are becoming more aware of the risks to their companies’ data, which contains customers’ private information. Data is their most valuable—and potentially most vulnerable—asset. A breach in security can have devastating effects on both the dealership and its customers. At Digital Dealer 15, I’ll discuss the most common mistakes made by dealerships and provide a step-by-step process you can follow to better protect your data, thereby maintaining the trust of your customers.”
The Digital Dealer Conference and Exposition is a three-day premier event dedicated to the latest Internet and technology solutions for automotive professionals, and past conferences have drawn more than 1,000 dealers and managers from across the country.
Grant has also presented at 20 Groups and DrivingSales Executive Summits, and is a writer for AutoSuccess, NCM Institute, DrivingSales and Digital Dealer. His areas of special expertise include data security, automotive data management, strategic planning, automotive direct marketing, online reputation management, new business development, SEO, dealership sales training and third party leads.
J&L Marketing has received SSAE-16 Certification, a universal standard established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for financial institutions to protect the privacy of consumer information. The AICPA issued the SSAE-16 standards to ensure the security and confidentiality of customer data; to protect against threats to the security and integrity of customer data; and to prevent against unauthorized access to customer data.
Grant’s presentation is considered a must-see for conference attendees. For more information, contact Russell Grant at rgrant@jandlmarketing.com or 407-616-6898.
