Testimonials

“We are a global leader in innovative automotive retail performance improvement solutions. Kathi has been invaluable to us as an advisor, trainer and subject matter expert.”

Kathi Kruse’s digital retail strategies presentation at our Dealer 20 Group was engaging, enlightening and provided actionable steps our dealers could implement immediately. Her industry knowledge is second to none and her methods should be essential education for every company.

Kathi's expertise, knowledge, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I've worked with her over the past decade and she's a valuable asset to have in your dealership's back pocket.

Kathi brought us into the DIGITAL car world, period. Outstanding, talented, full of knowledge, and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Kruse Control!

"Of all the dealership experts I’ve partnered with over the years, Kathi is definitely money well spent! She has the unique combination of dealership operations and financial/CFO expertise, coupled with a skilled approach to digital. I've known her for over ten years and she's a valuable asset.

Kathi Kruse and Kruse Control Inc. is the real deal! We have been with them for 10+ years and there's no one else we trust as much as Kathi and her company. She has and continues to be ahead of the game when it comes to digital marketing, social media and anything on the internet! We owe a lot of our success to her!

Kathi's unique combination of car biz savvy (operations and financial!) and information technology intuition have made her a constant source for my own search for knowledge of all things digital and how to apply them to my own dealership. I connected with Kathi over ten years ago and she never fails to spot the newest trends and technologies. Her sessions at the many conferences I have attended are always fresh and each time I hear Kathi speak I walk away with something new and immediately applicable. I highly recommend Kathi to dealers and dealer groups looking to improve profitability, who need a trusted professional with many years of experience in operations, accounting/CFO, and digital. Kathi is a true innovator and amazing person.

Kathi has designed my personal website, and I have gotten a number of glowing comments about how beautiful and easily navigable it is. My business grew exponentially from one year to the next because of her design and marketing strategy. Kathi has also designed the website for Hanaeleh, a non-profit horse rescue, and her wealth of knowledge and attention to detail has dramatically grown our online presence. Kathi is also cognizant about using social media platforms to drive business back to the website, so her extensive understanding of Facebook and the like has allowed the rescue to grow and become more financially solvent. No matter the size of your business, I would recommend Kathi to create and plan your website and marketing plan.

Kathi has been very helpful on so many levels. We are a Lexus dealership and our vision is to redefine business as a pleasure. We knew social media and content marketing were important and we turned to Kruse Control to support our mission. It’s been and continues to be an awesome collaboration.

As a Marketing Manager, I found Kruse Control Inc. to be an invaluable resource that propelled our organization's comprehensive marketing initiatives and goals. Kathi's ability to assess your target audience and formulate data-driven marketing strategies will elevate your ROI. Moreover, she is a joy to work with and an overall amazing human being. Don't hesitate to give her a call. Once you do, you'll see why I recommend her so highly.

I co-presented a national training program with Kathi on automotive online reputation management. Kathi brings passion, insights and deep experience to her programs. She relates helpful and entertaining examples, ties into the audience's goals and needs, and gives participants a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing them in the online space. I'd love to work with Kathi again very soon!

I’ve been working with Kathi for YEARS and still learn something new every time we meet.

Being fairly new to social media management, Kathi was able to offer valuable advice and to confirm my own assumptions when I was unsure about how to act. My biggest “aha” moment was learning I could reuse evergreen content. It has made planning my social calendars a lot easier since I can take old posts and reuse them. Kruse Control is perfect for social media absolute beginners up to intermediate users.

Kathi's background, talent and passion for the automotive industry stands out in the emerging area of social media and reputation management. I've yet to meet anyone who has a better grasp of what it takes to build a successful automotive social media strategy. She truly understands how to establish vital connections with automotive consumers that lead to more sales and customer retention. I highly recommend Kathi to any company looking to utilize social media to its fullest potential.

I greatly appreciated having the support of an expert to bounce ideas off of, guide us through the process of recruiting a social media coordinator and getting the new recruit up to speed.Kathi walks you through the basics of social media management or goes more in-depth depending on your knowledge. She helps you formulate the right strategy to achieve your goals.This work is perfect for someone who needs more information about social media management or who is a beginner and needs to be pointed in the right direction. I particularly valued Kathi's problem solving and lateral thinking approach. She made the whole process less daunting!

With Kathi Kruse, you just get it all... knowledge, experience, professionalism and most of all, a partner who truly cares about you and growing your business. 'Digital presence' and 'online landscape' can be confusing and intimidating - it's hard to know whether you're doing the right thing, but it's so important these days! Kathy is an ally and a guide through the digital business space. Not to mention, she's a lifelong animal advocate who donates 10% of her profits to a non-profit animal rescue! I love that my money circles back to worthy causes and the community. I highly recommend Kathi and Kruse Control Inc. if you are looking for some website help, online presence, marketing campaigns, etc. - she's amazing!
