Who we are:
Our Company was founded on the idea that there are patterns in people's behavior that, with the right logic, can be used to predict future outcomes. We are a small but rapidly growing organization that works with our dealer partners to create solutions that are simply not found anywhere else. We work in groups rather than in structured corporate hierarchies; our culture is creative and entrepreneurial where everyone contributes to company goals in very real way. We are a hardworking group, but we have a lot of fun with what we do and are looking for new people with a similar mindset to join the organization.
What we do:
Our proprietary software-as-a-service helps automotive dealerships and sales teams better understand and predict exactly which customers are ready to buy, the reasons why, and the key offers and incentives most likely to close the sale. Its micro-marketing engine then delivers the right message at the right time to those customers, ensuring higher conversion rates and a stronger ROI.

Our Launch Specialists are integral to our Dealer Relations Excellence team. Each of our dealer partners will have a dedicated Dealer Relations Manager (DRM) who will orchestrate the launch process. The DRM, in partnership with the Launch Specialist, will ensure a successful onboarding (launch) as they transition from previous solutions to our Mastermind platform. During this critical and important early phase of the partner lifecycle, Launch Specialists are responsible for supporting the DRM in establishing the solid foundation that drives our partners' future successes.
