CAR DEALER Magazine can today reveal the Top 150 Most Influential Dealers on Twitter.

Announced at this year’s record breaking Car Dealer Expo CDX15 at an exclusive invite-only session, we can now reveal the list in full.

The original and much-copied Twitter 150 list has been highly-anticipated by the motor trade with many dealers turning up at our Expo to find out where they placed before anyone else.

Georgina Parnell from Twitter UK handed out the awards to our best-placed dealers and hosted a Q&A session with the delegates. Scott Sinclair from Google also spoke to our special guests.

Prestige Diesels were this year’s overall winner, climbing from second to the top spot with an impressive margin of four Klout points.

The awards we handed out included:

What is Klout?

We use Klout to measure how influential you are on the popular social media site. If you had the same score as someone else we then moved on to how many followers. A Klout score is a number given between one and 100, which takes into consideration a user’s interaction on Twitter to work out their overall influence – the higher the number, the more influential the user.
