✔ Why fixed operations remains the dealership profit engine

✔ Why diversity strengthens innovation
✔ The importance of recruiting younger talent into automotive
✔ How authentic leadership builds trust and stronger teams

💬 Have one good question ready. You don't need to be clever — you need to be curious. Try: "What's the biggest shift you're seeing in your store right now?" It works in almost any conversation, with almost anyone in the room. 📱 Follow up after, not during. Your best networking might happen on the flight home, when you send three thoughtful LinkedIn messages instead of collecting twenty business cards you'll never use. A specific follow-up beats a stack of cards every single time. You don't have to be the loudest woman in the room to be the most memorable one. See you there. 👋

The future of automotive marketing may not look like another ad campaign.

It may look like authentic relationships built through trusted voices already rooted in your community.

In this new Women In Automotive article, Claire Calhoun explains why NIL partnerships with female athletes represent one of the biggest untapped opportunities in automotive marketing today.

Her upcoming WIA 2026 breakout session explores:

✔ Why women influence the majority of automotive decisions
✔ How female athletes build stronger engagement
✔ Why trust matters more than reach
✔ How smaller dealerships can leverage NIL partnerships
✔ Real-world examples with measurable ROI

This is not just a conversation about marketing trends.

It’s a conversation about where consumer trust is headed next.

Conferences are built for extroverts. Loud rooms. Packed schedules. By hour six of day one, you'll want to hide in your hotel room. You don't have to "work the room" to get real value out of WIA. A couple of things that actually work: ✨ Pick three sessions, not thirty. Trying to do everything is how you end up too drained to talk to anyone. Choose what matters most and protect your energy for the conversations around them. ✨ Arrive early to sessions. The five minutes before a session starts is the easiest networking window of the whole conference. Two people, one shared interest, low pressure. Less is more. Always. 💛
