Purposefully Curated Art in a New Custom Contemporary Home in Beverly Hills – Available for Purchase

The staff of AMERICA Real Estate was engaged to curate and commission artists for an incredible Zen quality home. Throughout the home is a tasteful blend of art embracing ancient tribal, African Nouveau, modern, botanical, jet engine, and fun art. The artists range from World acclaimed artists Warhol, Woods Davy, Woodrow Nash, Prince Jurgen Von Anhalt and Raymond Waites as well as local artists Kelley Anderson, Mark Schrenko, and Michael Sorafine. The art forms are canvas, botanical (moss), stone, wood, shells, metals, clay, concrete, and underwear (Warhol).

The art accentuates the beauty of the fine quality designer finishes which includes brushed volcanic rock, Black Phantom leathered and book-matched granite, Tourmaline Quartzite, Brown Dream Gold Quartzite, Zebrano marble, and Maya marble.

Most people say the home looks better than the pictures and even better in the evening! By the way, cryptocurrency can be facilitated for the purchase of the home.”— Paul Wylie

The custom architecture for the curated art is from award-winning Ames Peterson International and includes a spine wall, bollards, front and rear waterfalls, a zero-edge pool/spa, two Zen gardens, outdoor patios, outdoor kitchen and TV, circular driveway for the three-car garage, privacy, wellness/gym, home office, home theatre, elevator, and recreation room.

It quickly attracted more than its share of notables including Elvis, Danny Thomas, Grouch Marx, Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, and Tony Curtis. To this day it attracts celebrities and billionaires with sales over $70M! No wonder it has its own beautiful coffee table book with scores of home pictures and history.

Applied Concepts officially rolls out new sales and performance training programs for auto dealerships

Company brings modern retailing approach to dealerships, launches e-learning platform and adds human resources, multichannel communication, cybersecurity tracks

Applied Concepts, the largest auto dealership sales and performance training company in the country, has officially rolled out its new and updated slate of training programs, courses and coaching products for frontline employees of auto dealerships. The new programs are designed to reflect modern retailing and the way in which today’s auto consumers shop for vehicles in an ever-evolving marketplace.

The new training and coaching curriculum reflects an approach incorporating both the “educate and inform” and the often overused “command and control” methods of communicating. Numerous studies have shown this blended approach is the most effective way to interact with today’s auto consumer.

“Sales methods in the automotive industry have largely remained unchanged for decades despite the constantly evolving way in which consumers purchase cars,” said Jason Jones, CEO of Applied Concepts. “Dealerships that take a more customer-centric approach to sales and adapt to how the modern auto consumer shops for and purchases vehicles will see a significant impact on their bottom line.”

Applied Concepts was founded in 1983 and became one of the top providers of sales training programs for auto dealerships. In 2019, Jones, along with a growth-oriented Boston-based private equity firm, acquired the company with the mission of turning it into the definitive source of training in the automotive industry by completely renovating the company’s training programs, adding new services and hiring several auto industry veterans.

Also new is the company’s e-learning platform that gives dealership employees the opportunity to learn visually with video content and interactive activities. Applied Concepts also introduced a series of elective courses to complement the core program that provide training in multichannel communication, cross-selling sales and services, supporting F&I and other topics central to the strategic objectives of dealerships. A human resources track and cybersecurity program were also added as new offerings.

A study evaluating the company’s new training and coaching programs at a 30+ location auto group showed a 14% increase in gross profit, a 15% increase in the appointment-show rate, a 43% increase in securing contact information, a 29% increase in customers asking for appointments, a 23% increase in discovery questions and a 41% increase in appropriate calls-to-action. Overall, the auto group showed a return-on-investment of 10.9x over the cost of the training and coaching programs.

The company’s current programs, offered through live, one-on-one remote training and coaching sessions as well as the e-learning platform, include:

– Modern retailing: A core program that improves frontline employees’ communication skills and a customer-centric approach to sales.
– Elective courses: Topics such as multi-channel communication, developing long-term customers, cross-selling sales and service, maximizing trade-in profits and how to support finance and insurance.
– Coaching action plan: A customized plan to ensure the training is responsive to and fulfilling its unique strategic objectives and goals.
– Call evaluation: Assess and better identify coaching needs using live recorded calls or generated mystery shopping calls.
– Individual coaching: Provides one-on-one training and coaching to employees to help them improve in specific areas of communication and sales.
– Maximizing leads: How to most effectively turn leads into sales, including navigating online sales platforms.
– Cybersecurity/HR: Courses and training on how dealerships can better secure their data and online operations; human resource training on diversity, harassment and other employee-related topics.

Applied Concepts provides sales and performance training and coaching for employees of auto dealerships to improve the way they connect, communicate and interact with auto consumers. The company has partnerships with more than 3,000 dealerships across the country and has conducted more than 2 million training and coaching sessions. A wide variety of programs and topics are offered through live, one-on-one remote training and coaching as well as an e-learning platform. The company was founded in 1983 and acquired in 2019 by CEO Jason Jones, along with a growth-oriented Boston-based private equity firm, with the mission of turning it into the definitive source of training in the automotive industry. The company is based in Lake Mary, Florida. More information is available online at AppliedConcepts.com, on Facebook (AppliedConceptsLLC) and Linkedin (company/applied-concepts/).

Night Shift Development Announces ClearQuery SaaS Beta Expands Its Enterprise Solution to Customers in the Private Sector

Night Shift Development knows that technology solutions should work for the user – not the other way around. Removing the typical technical barriers and blockers, ClearQuery democratizes data and simplifies analytics for everyone.

Night Shift Development (NSD), creators of ClearQuery, augmented intelligence and conversational analytics platform, today announced it has launched a public beta of the SaaS version of its flagship product. This announcement comes on the heels of signing an OEM partnership agreement with Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch and the Elastic Stack. As an OEM Partner of Elastics, Night Shift Development will continue to sell its enterprise solution to customers in the public sector and expand to the private sector.

Today’s companies collect and generate data at exponential rates. While this data is an organization’s most valuable asset, 70% of these organizations can’t extract meaningful insights from it. Night Shift Development is committed to helping business users and domain experts process their data by providing solutions that generate rapid and actionable intelligence from it. By removing the typical technical barriers and blockers, Night Shift Development aims to democratize data and simplify analytics for everyone.

ClearQuery, is an augmented intelligence and analytics platform designed for nontechnical users that allows end-users to rapidly search, explore, and analyze their data through an intuitive interface that enables clear visual, conversational, and traditional search and analytics experiences while producing automated insights as users explore their data. One of the ways ClearQuery does this is by natural language questions into Elasticsearch queries.

This intuitive system provides value immediately, unlike other tools which require users to put in significant amounts of work before they can exploit their business data to help them operate more efficiently. Night Shift Development believes that technology solutions should work for the user – not the other way around. With ClearQuery, they hope to help businesses all over the world to analyze their data through an intuitive interface that produces automated insights and illuminates hidden relationships in data.

“We believe that every business user – at any technical level in an organization – should be empowered to speak directly with their data and tell stories with it,” says Night Shift Development CEO and cofounder Tim Tutt. “With our flagship product, ClearQuery, business analysts and domain experts don’t need to learn some complex query language just to get value from their data.”

Night Shift’s new SaaS offering of ClearQuery is designed to further lower that barrier to entry in data analytics for business analysts and domain experts. Users can quickly upload a spreadsheet, connect a Google Sheet, or connect to an existing Elasticsearch cluster (self-managed or in the cloud). If you’re interested in trying it out on your business data, you can sign up for the SaaS Beta here.

“ClearyQuery was built from the ground up on top of Elasticsearch, allowing us to bring the best of both offerings to our customers. Elastic has been one of Night Shift’s most strategic partners and we’re excited to continue developing this relationship and providing a significant impact to our customers in both the public and private sectors”, Tutt said.

Elasticsearch, part of the Elastic Stack, is a distributed, free and open search and analytics engine for all types of data. Elasticsearch gained popularity among developers due to its speed, scalability, and simple REST APIs that allow developers to get started easily. ClearQuery builds upon that to extend the power of Elasticsearch analytic capabilities to business users.

“Night Shift is a valued partner to Elastic in the federal market, and we are excited about their expansion into the commercial sector as they continue to pursue their mission of democratizing data analytics with ClearQuery and the Elastic Stack and enabling users of any technical skill level to realize analytic value from their data,” said Steven A. Coles, US Federal at Elastic.

By putting power into the hands of business users and domain experts, businesses can rapidly take advantage of the tremendous amounts of data they collect and make more informed data-driven decisions to increase revenue, profits, security posture and overall business efficiency.

About Night Shift Development
Night Shift Development is a Virginia-based data exploitation company that builds solutions to help organizations make sense of their data. The NSD team is made up of software engineers, data scientists, and practitioners with tremendous amounts of experience in solving hard problems and answering questions with data.

Auction Techniques Shifts the Home Buyer’s Focus from Price to Value

KC-Based Cates Auction & Realty Say Today’s Sellers Are Better Off Saying Goodbye to the Realtor and Hello to Competitive Bidding

Today’s home or business property sellers looking to move their property fast and with less hassle would be wise to look into a competitive bidding marketing strategy.

Using auction techniques honed over the past 79 years, Kansas City-based Cates Auction & Realty created an innovative online marketplace for competitive bidding. This innovation creates a competitive atmosphere geared toward shifting the buyer’s focus from price to the property’s value. This digital approach targets and captures qualified buyers, driving elevated results.

Cates Auction & Realty is a licensed real estate brokerage and leader in selling real estate online at auction. Company leadership says the auction industry is on the verge of a generational shift and that growth will have a massive ripple effect on how people buy and sell real estate.

Fourth-generation family members Chandler and Cambridge Cates now bring their background in modern technology, marketing intelligence, and data to the table, complemented by CEO & Auctioneer Jeff Cates’ unique auction methods.

“Our digital-first platform combines everything in one place — we’re focused on the synergy between the demand drivers and unlocking the ‘liquidity pool’ as a mechanism for more efficient price discovery,” Chief Innovation Officer Chandler Cates said. “This extends across our entire ecosystem from our marketing materials, activities, and bidding to client interaction and engagement. It’s end-to-end.”

He added they are tirelessly working to ensure the warmth and humanity that made Cates a nationally respected name in the industry is always front of mind.

“We’re striving to preserve the human element of the auction. In the past, my father would have been conducting the auction live on-site. He would be on the mic with my grandfather, engaging the crowd and managing the sale, all for the sake of maximizing value for our clients. Though technology has changed the industry considerably, we strive to stay true to that aspect in everything we do.”

Cates prepares a tailored marketing strategy for clients designed to engage the highest volume of qualified bidders. They saturate the market through various promotional channels with urgency to reach a larger audience of buyers.

As a market leader, the company is recognized for its digital-first presence and marketing achievements, claiming two coveted “Best In Show” awards, and two platinum and two gold awards, at the 2021 NAA Marketing Competition in partnership with USA Today.

While competitive bidding shares similarities to how most Realtors manage sales, one difference in selling at auction is the property is sold “as is” and on a “non-contingent” basis, with a 30-day projected closing date. According to the auction terms, a prospective buyer cannot make their bid contingent on any outside factors such as financing or inspections.

“It amounts to a contingency-free closing which is not typical with buys made through a realtor,” Cates said. “It’s a real change in unlocking liquidity and reducing risk.”

Cates Auction and Realty sells non-distressed residential and commercial property and conducts personal property auctions without real estate attached. The firm offers complimentary analysis to sellers, selecting one out of five properties to sell on average based on how well the property fits the company’s service model.

A strong focus on commercial business is evident in hiring Chief Operating Officer, Alex Forster, a top-producing commercial real estate broker and entrepreneur working in commercial real estate in the fast-paced Los Angeles market.

Forster, who previously worked at Colliers International and Marcus & Millichap’s, The Harris Group (THG), a private client team with over $9 billion in investment sales across 700 transactions.

He believes competitive bidding will be a major mover in the evolution of the industry. “What first caught my attention initially was the firm’s marketing capabilities far exceed anything I have witnessed in the real estate industry. After seeing the exciting growth in the industry, deciding to join the executive team at Cates Auction was easy.”

He added, “I think we can propel this industry forward on a more transparent, trustworthy, and honest path, all with the ability to maximize the results for our sellers.”

This shift in focus changes the way Cates positions itself in the market, as well. The company doesn’t view other auction companies as their competition; most of the time, it’s the traditional Realtor. The company is assertively making inroads with Gen X, Gen Z, and Gen Y and expanding into the burgeoning senior downsizing Industry.

Estate services and seller-managed auctions utilizing the Cates platform are also on the horizon. These innovations and the dramatic generational shift to digital point to putting clients in the driver’s seat to drive demand and command better results.

“We are offering the seller multiple ways to sell with us. They don’t have to worry about the disposition or liquidation of assets they don’t have the time or capacity to handle,” Cates said. “They may be elderly and cannot do it, or they don’t want to deal with the hassle. We will take care of it.”
