Samsung’s Q1 + Dr. Neil + Hugo Ortega = Success for Audi Australia

In a partial list of my favorite things, you would certianly find technology, sporty cars, www.gottabemobile.com and pretty women. Not necessarily in that order. ;) I can’t afford all four, but hey I can dream can’t I? :)

His name was Wolf [no surprise there] and his desire was to automate the manner in which Audi records and interacts with leads (names and numbers) from the Motorshow floor. The upcoming Motorshow was to be held in Melbourne, and in a very German like manner Wolf had only given me a matter of days to help him address his problems all of them…” Read the full story here
