Look, Rick. I don't know anyone who could meet you and not have a smile on their face. And you have the absolute right to present yourself any way you want to. But your "fun, silly way" may not be what GM is looking for at the Reveal. They may be afraid you will show up in one of your clown suits. Your quest for celebrity can get a little old. Just sayin'. And I apologize for saying it.
I agree. Rick, sorry you didn't get an invite - you seem like a decent chap.
But, continuing down this path is NOT a good look.
Perhaps focus instead on how much fun it'll be pocketing the $$ from selling MEs.
He's has it made! Not that he didn't work for it or put it together .
I'm Not saying he's not working hard or long hours but He doesn't have to go on the lot and shake hands!
Except to greet his internet buyers.
I'm sure the other sales folks wish they had his customer base.
Rick did himself in with the "camo suit" at the bash, followed by his video vlog whining that NO ONE on Team Corvette acknowledged him or his clown suit.
He really needs to CHECK his EGO at the front door...starting TWO threads about a snub that is HIS fault makes him look childish and petty.
And the saddest part is that no one would have known he WASN'T INVITED had he not brought it up.
I try very hard to be respectful in my interactions in my digital life and real life. It is easy to attack people behind the veil of a screen name on this forum or others, but I am a firm believer that "what goes around comes around".
I can't give you any advice with your business, I am not a customer of yours or your boss, but I am happy to provide you with an observation and an example for you to ponder:
When you post your vlog, you should be prepared for the negative outcomes that it may bring. Being a nice guy is not enough in the world of business, integrity, competency, and respectability are more important in the end. I think many have watched your vlogs because you come across as a nice guy, and we all wish you the best. After the feedback you received with the first post, I am unsure your motivation for posting it a second time...just by taking a straw pole, most of the feedback was not positive.
Not that it relates 100%...there was a TV show on AMC back in 2012 called "Small Town Security". It followed Breaking Bad, which had a huge following. The private security business that was profiled in this "Reality" show thought they were entertaining and tried very hard to "sell" their lives entertainment value. While many viewers enjoyed the show's entertainment value, the net effect on the business was they lost over 50% of their Clients, as they could not relate to the "Reality" the owners of the business were sharing with the world. In hindsight, I trust they might have passed on that opportunity if given a second chance.
I am unsure how many Forum members whom are your Customers are influenced by your recent vlog, and what effect it will have on your business of selling Corvettes...I can only offer this; it has insured I will no longer be supporting your "Youtube" business...and if that is the only thing that suffers...you will be OK in the end.
Respectfully,
Jeff

You're right Jimmy! What's up with that camo suit?? Totally tasteless!!
Not a good look man, and really doing nothing to change my already not great opinion of Chevy salespersons that in significant part cost GM my last two new car purchases.
No and to my knowledge never has. He has a lot of videos that make many of us Corvette owners shake our heads.
Kissing a Barbie doll, eating doo doo out of a diaper, fake camo ZR1s. Continued posting these things makes it difficult.
DO NOT CLICK.
An employee on a company-paid boondoggle is an employee not on the lot selling cars for the dealership.
Or answering emails...or phone calls...

I made my post before reading this one. I bought my C7 from him and tried to buy another and on a whim emailed and called him twice on a C8. Never got a call back.

I felt worse then you, after owning 4 Corvettes and countless other GM vehicles over 50 years, I did not recieve a reveal ticket! I feel I am more deserving of it then you!
Stay tuned for my 20 minute whiny VLOG!
