New Vehicles To Be Unveiled in Detroit, Driving Hopes for Major Ad Spend
Keywords: Autos-New Domestic | Autos-New Imported

What madman would visit Detroit in the dead of winter of his own accord? Or in his own Accord? This year, you'd be mad not to. On Jan. 10, auto marketers, designers, executives, paparazzi, writers, buffs, hangers-on, pundits, the odd mugger and a mess of new and conceptual cars will converge on Detroit like pack ice in McMurdo Sound.

This is, after all, the year in which automakers will talk about their recoveries from near-death in the last two years, and the show presages a very busy year for new-vehicle intros.

Daily Sales Tip: Your Image

When your meeting pops up on your prospect's calendar, they might be tempted to remind themselves of who they are meeting with.

Will they Google you? Check your LinkedIn profile? Or maybe even your Facebook page? What will they find? What picture of you will they have before you even enter their door?
