Onboardian Launches to Transform How Auto Dealers Train and Engage Teams

MERIDIAN, Idaho, Mar. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Onboardian announced today its launch of the automotive industry’s first all-in-one training, coaching, and communication platform built to help dealerships develop and retain employees. Featuring patent-pending virtual role-play technology, Onboardian gives dealerships all the tools they need to…

MERIDIAN, Idaho, Mar. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Onboardian announced today its launch of the automotive industry’s first all-in-one training, coaching, and communication platform built to help dealerships develop and retain employees. Featuring patent-pending virtual role-play technology, Onboardian gives dealerships all the tools they need to motivate, educate, and equip sales and management teams to drive superior performance, operational efficiencies, and winning cultures.

Automotive dealers are undergoing one of the most significant transformations of the last 20 years as they face pressure from more digital-savvy and informed consumers, and increasing competition in auto retail. However, while most dealers are rightfully focused on their digital experience, many still face an industry-wide operational problem: employee turnover. Now at an all-time high, salespeople turnover has hit 80%, costing the average dealership an estimated $500,000 per year. That doesn’t even factor in the knowledge and customer relationships that leave with those departing employees.

«Today’s customer and salesperson have both changed. Yet, one thing hasn’t changed—the way we train today’s salesperson to connect with today’s customer. Generic or outdated training based on transactional selling has led to both buyers and salespeople going elsewhere, and dealers’ profitability leaving with them,» said Zach McVicker, founder and CEO of Onboardian. «We developed Onboardian to help dealership leaders deliver modern training to connect with today’s employee and customer. With our platform, dealers gain faster onboarding, increased employee retention, and a superior customer experience—all without adding more to sales managers’ plates, creating a single lesson, or adding another program to manage.»

With Onboardian, auto dealership leaders can:

– Virtually train and coach with ease. With Onboardian’s prebuilt guided training, sales managers can deliver onboarding, coaching, and encouragement from their phone and on their time.
– Ramp skilled sales pros faster. Onboardian guides salespeople through strategically-delivered learning experiences and virtual role-play proven to develop skills and maximize retention.
– Better connect with today’s customer. Onboardian teaches sales pros relational selling and digital communication strategies that lead to a better buying experience and lasting customer relationships.
– Operate an efficient and connected dealership. Onboardian combines company training, communication, recognition, org chart, calendar, and more, to help dealers foster a winning culture—while also centralizing operations and reducing information silos.

«Auto sales managers have more on their plates than ever before, making it a challenge to not only onboard and develop sales reps, but teach the right philosophy on how to build long-term customer relationships,» said Chris Poluhoff, General Manager of Peterson Chevrolet Buick Cadillac. «With Onboardian, our sales reps can easily see what they need to do, execute their learning assignments, and virtually role play customer interactions to demonstrate their knowledge. Our sales managers can spend more time on their jobs and one-on-one coaching, and less time delivering ongoing training.»

Onboardian was recently recognized as a finalist for Kain Automotive’s 2020 Shark Tank pitch competition, featuring the industry’s most innovative ideas, strategies, or technologies. Part of Kain Automotive’s 16th Annual Clients and Friends Digital Success Workshop, Shark Tank finalists were selected by event attendee voting after a round of pitching from each of the nine companies.

«In my 20+ years in the auto industry, I’ve seen Joe Verde, Grant Cardone, Jackie Cooper, and all the trainers out there. Everyone of them has some sort of path to success. Onboardian gives a modern take on it that gives them a whole new audience,» said David Kain, CEO of Kain Automotive.

NATO F-35 Milestone: First F-35A for Denmark Takes Flight

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Earlier this week, L-001, Denmark’s first F-35 Lightning II production aircraft flew its inaugural flight.

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Earlier this week, L-001, Denmark’s first F-35 Lightning II production aircraft flew its inaugural flight. Denmark is the fifth European NATO nation to fly and operate an F-35, strengthening NATO’s 5th generation airpower foundation. Denmark is joining four other European nations who already operate the F-35: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway and Italy.

Like the F-16 before it, the F-35 is spearheading NATO’s air power and ensuring strategic integration of allied combat airpower. The vital interoperability of the 5th Generation F-35 binds 13 allies and partners with the United States in air dominance and enabling critical joint capabilities. The F-35 will serve as a force multiplier for Denmark, allowing the Royal Danish Air Force to train and fight alongside NATO allies and create a strong deterrent.

«Achieving the first flight of Denmark’s first F-35 is major milestone for the Denmark F-35 program and a testament to the outstanding abilities of our dedicated and highly trained joint industry and government team,»  said Bill Brotherton, acting F-35 vice president and general manager. «This team’s focus on delivering the most effective, survivable and connected fighter in the world will ensure the sovereign protection of Denmark and strengthen allies and partners through the NATO F-35 coalition.»

L-001 is scheduled to be delivered to the Royal Danish Air Force in April and will be flown to Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, later this year for pilot and maintainer training. F-35s will arrive in Denmark in 2023 and be based at Royal Danish Air Force’s Fighter Wing Skrydstrup where it will safeguard the skies over Denmark and its NATO allies.

PLANO, Texas, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Lexus is elevating the American road trip. To meet the growing need for deeper, meaningful experiences that promote wellbeing, Lexus is putting travelers behind the wheel in its first-ever «Retreats in Motion» program. These five-day, four-night driving retreats allow guests to take a scenic, restorative drive in a new 2021 Lexus IS between two of the brand’s luxury hotel partners, with curated self-care activities along the way.

Five-day, four-night driving retreats allow guests to take a scenic, restorative drive in a new 2021 Lexus IS between two of the brand’s luxury hotel partners, with curated self-care activities along the way.

«These days, the desire to escape on the open road to rejuvenate mind and spirit has never been more enticing,» says Vinay Shahani, Lexus vice president of marketing. «The ‘Retreats in Motion’ program not only provides perfectly planned, luxurious getaways in a Lexus vehicle, but they also elevate the classic road trip with much-needed recuperative experiences.»

The Lexus partner hotels selected for the «Retreats in Motion» program have been hand-picked for their exceptional service, beautiful design and culinary offerings. Guests will spend two nights at each resort – with an average three-hour drive between each property – before returning to the originating hotel. Participating hotels in the three California-based retreats include:

In spring 2021, those visiting the East Coast will be able to travel between XV Beacon and Chatham Bars Inn in Massachusetts.

Travelers will be paired with the new 2021 Lexus IS sport sedan at their originating hotel before embarking on a customized route featuring suggested stops and wellness activities to enjoy throughout their drive. They’ll feast their eyes on beautiful views, relax with aromatherapy or guided breathwork, and have the option to indulge their taste buds with healthy gourmet meals at the end of each day.

Unlike typical getaways, the «Retreats in Motion» program incorporates the vehicle as an integral part of the wellness experience. More than just transporting travelers from each partner hotel, the Lexus vehicle is a destination and sanctuary in and of itself and is equipped with a mobile wellness kit to help travelers get the most out of their journey.

In creating the program, the automaker has partnered with mindbodygreen, a health and well-being lifestyle media brand, to create custom content featuring some of the world’s most-loved wellness experts for each retreat. Highlights include podcasts on sustainability with best-selling author Jonathan Safran Foer and a guided walking meditation with teacher Mary Beth LaRue, along with content covering topics from mindful eating to movement for longevity. Additionally, an immersive in-car sound bath with expert Sara Auster – designed to be played through the signature Mark Levinson sound system – helps clear energy blockages and deliver a sense of calm.

«mindbodygreen has enjoyed being a trusted destination and resource for well-being for over eleven years, bringing together experts across all facets of health and wellness for our collective audience,» says Colleen Wachob, mindbodygreen co-founder and co-CEO. «Our team is so excited to work with an innovative, forward-thinking brand like Lexus on this partnership. Together, we’re creating something really unique and so vital to people’s well-being.»

Guests are responsible for the «Retreats in Motion» registration costs and travel expenses. Fees start at $2,700 for two guests, and include:

  • Five-day, four-night stay at each property;
  • Loan of a new 2021 Lexus IS vehicle;
  • Intimate access to curated wellness content, including self-care discussions, in-vehicle sound bath, meditation, guided breathwork and more;  
  • Complimentary welcome wellness kit.

Lexus and its hotel partners deeply value the health and well-being of their guests.

Please refer to each partner hotel website for more details on their COVID protocols.

LOS ANGELES, March 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Silverstone Records USA releases the new music video from the Billboard charting hit Rock Band, CORE with «Save Me» and it’s already catching eyes for the high-end production and some characters who have over the top roles in this video. Best-selling Author, Reality Star, Boxer, and Baseball Legend Jose Canseco and the very first official 2024 Presidential Candidate James Bills of Texas, both appear in this very sexy new short film and music video that hits VEVO and Networks today.

Canseco’s role, a Las Vegas Mobster (as Gino Leonardo) stands out in this CORE video, and the film industry has taken note. The 6′ 5″ 240-pound mega-star who was in training for a boxing match to fight on Pay-Per-View just days after the CORE «Save Me» filming ended has been getting offers to play similar Mob roles in feature films after the news picked up on it last week. Presidential Candidate Bills makes an appearance (as Vince Lupo) who is a Masked Minion under Canseco’s control. Bills, who is also a Professional Baseball Coach, gelled quite well with the professional athlete on set, even talking politics and the future of America. Actor Brian Ramian (as Marco Mason) and Super-Model-Actor Miss Zitlaly Cervantes (as Claudia Quintano) add to the filming roles as they play a modern day Bonnie and Clyde that execute a complicated and dangerous jewelry heist with the help of an unlikely BAND of accomplices. Zitlaly’s character goes bare naked in order to get through a laser trap to complete the heist. It’s a clever yet classy sexy scene in the video.

Shot and produced over 9 days in Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel, CORE had quite a big audience watching while filming took place on the rooftop of the hotel vegas landmark. Filming crews worked around people in the packed downstairs Plaza Casino, and out on the same rooftop landing pad Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack would land on to get back to their very private penthouse suites at the Plaza Hotel years back.

CORE «Save Me» is Directed by Bruce Haymer-Coleman, the famous MTV music video producer and director who has worked with Elton John, Alice In Chains, Depeche Mode, I.N.X.S., Tesla, Sponge, Garbage, Hole, Better Than Ezra, The Meat Puppets, The Cranberries, Gloria Estefan, The Proclaimers, Mellissa Etheridge, Akon, Donna Summer, and many more major label national recording artists. Haymer-Coleman, Canseco and Bills are represented by CORE’s Manager, Mike Quinn, President of Silverstone Entertainment USA Los Angeles the parent company of Silverstone Records USA. CORE’s Tour Agent, Andrew Goodfriend of TKO is gearing up for the CORE TOUR later this year, so look for them on the road for a great live experience.

CORE’s new album WHAT I AM featuring «Save Me» and three other of their radio charting singles releases this summer after a long wait due to the Covid-19 pandemic and new album production.

C O R E is a rock band with roots in Las Vegas and Austin. CORE landed their first national debut record deal with Los Angeles based Silverstone Records USA. The single «Save Me» is recognized and powerful. So, If you love rock, those heavy hitting drums, and a classic rockstar vibe in both sound and showmanship, then CORE is sure to be a new favorite!

COVID-19 IMPACT ON DRONE DEFENSE SYSTEM MARKET SIZE

Because of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the growth of the drone defense system market size took a dip with sluggish sales of anti-drone systems from the European and Middle East regions. However, the market for drone defense systems is projected to rise at a consistent pace in the post-COVID-19 period, as governments continue to improve their defense capabilities for tackling unpredictable geopolitical tensions such as the India–China standoff or the dispute in the South China Sea.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE DRONE DEFENCE SYSTEM MARKET SIZE

Rising Incidences of Security Breaches by Unidentified Drones is expected to drive the growth of drone defense system market size. The use of drones for various applications, including surveillance and tracking, search and rescue operations, agriculture, and aerial photography has increased dramatically. In order to monitor and regulate the use of drones, various laws have been introduced by countries such as the US, Brazil, and China. There are, however, several instances of security breaches by unidentified drones, particularly in military establishments and public places such as airports, military bases, and prisons. This has in turn increased the global demand for drone defense systems.

Also, rising terrorism and illegal activities around the world along with the FAA’s drone detection mandates are expected to further fuel the growth of drone defense system market size.

On the other hand, rising concerns regarding hacking, privacy, and defense, as well as public safety concerns, are expected to restrict market growth to some degree.
