About Will Burke

Built by someone who's been on both sides of the table

I spent 22 years in automotive — including years at TrueCar as the face of the company with independent dealers across the country. I sat in dealer offices, attended state association meetings, and heard the same frustration over and over: "Who can I trust to give me straight information?"

Every data source available to dealers is produced by vendors who have a financial interest in the conclusions. Every market report is funded by someone with a product to sell. DealerSignals exists because dealers deserve better.

I built this as an independent platform — no investors pushing for vendor partnerships, no board with a product agenda, no sponsored content. Just scan data published openly, for free, because the industry needs an honest signal.

"I've never once thought of associations as gatekeepers. They're advocates for dealers — and so am I. That alignment is why I want to be a resource for every state association in the country."

— Will Burke

Speaking & Conferences

Session topics built around real data

Every session Will presents is anchored in scan data from real dealer websites — not vendor surveys, not industry estimates. Your members will walk out with concrete, actionable information about their market.

45–60 min Data presentation + Q&A

What Technology Are [State] Dealers Actually Running?

A state-specific deep dive using DealerSignals scan data — showing exactly what DMS, CRM, advertising, and inventory tools your member dealers are running, how they compare to the national average, and where the biggest gaps and opportunities are.

Ideal for: Annual conventions, board meetings, educational sessions
45 min Data presentation + panel discussion

The Vendor Landscape: What the Numbers Actually Show

An honest look at the major automotive technology vendors — ratings, adoption trends, and what's actually happening in the market versus what vendors claim. Based on aggregated G2/Capterra data and real scan-detected adoption rates.

Ideal for: Vendor education days, technology-focused sessions
30–45 min Workshop-style, interactive

How Independent Dealers Can Compete on Technology

A practical session for dealers — what the data shows about what's working, what's overpriced, and what independent dealers can realistically implement to improve their technology stack without a franchise dealer budget.

Ideal for: 20 groups, dealer education days, breakout sessions
Flexible Tailored to your needs

Custom Session for Your Membership

We can build a session specifically around your membership's questions, challenges, or market dynamics. If you have data about what your members want to know, we'll build a session around it.

Ideal for: Any format — virtual or in-person

State & National Associations

We want to be a resource for every state

We're building data coverage state by state. As we scan dealers in each state, we'll reach out to the relevant association to share the data with their members. If your state is already in our dataset, we'd love to connect now.
