Hello, AutoSuccess readers!

Since this is the first time you’re seeing my face, I feel I should properly introduce myself. I’m Sean Donohue, and I am a group publisher for Babcox Media, a media company that is aligned heavily in the automotive aftermarket, heavy-duty fleet equipment and powersports industries. And now, thanks to our new partnership, I’m also the liaison between Babcox Media and AutoSuccess.

To say that I am excited to be joined by the AutoSuccess team is an understatement. We feel this partnership is a perfect fit and we look forward to continuing to bring you relevant market information that will fuel your business while improving your profitability.

We know the auto sales industry is a complex and ever-changing field. There are multiple facets to think about and many opportunities to improve your business and your bottom line. My promise to you is that we will do our very best every month to capture these opportunities and give you the tools to capitalize on your prospects.

Mergers often mean that change is inevitable. In this case, however, AutoSuccess will continue to do the quality work it always has, with the same staff you’ve come to rely on for ways to improve your business and processes. What will change, however, is that AutoSuccess will be able to pursue new ways of helping its readership without sacrificing what has come before. Babcox Media has been in business for almost a century and has resources that are now available to AutoSuccess. We’re looking forward to seeing how this partnership will blossom and how both companies can help you.

AutoSuccess Publisher Susan Givens’ article on page 10 goes into more detail about how this new alliance was formed and what each company can provide to the other. For my part, I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself and let you know that this new partnership will only bring great things to all the parties involved — especially you, our readership.

You can always reach me with the email address above if you have any questions about Babcox Media and this new joint venture with AutoSuccess. If you have any suggestions on how we might expand our content or methods of reaching our audience, we’d love to get your input. We get some of our best ideas from our readers, and we’d love to know what matters most to you. These are exciting times, and we invite you to come along with us!
