    DealerSocket, get your act together (RANT)

    Well now, they have me on the responding to a customer's response...we don't use the system that way, however we use the time stopping click to log outbound call feature and respond to the initial lead from time to time outside of DealerSocket. I saw the new releases today to accommodate GM's...

    DealerSocket, get your act together (RANT)

    I was wondering where you were when I first read this post, Shellie. Glad to see you're still on here! When I saw what was being said I figured I could share from my experience what was working for our store.

    DealerSocket, get your act together (RANT)

    So, my phone pings this morning as I'm driving in, and when I get here I see the dealerrefresh Twitter notice about this thread and came on over to check out what the current rant about DS is. I'm going to have to disagree with the quoted post above... In the what's new section of DS, you will...

    Is anyone else having this issue with Cars.Com and Autotrader?

    Every time I sit down to review the numbers with Cars.com and AutoTrader.com, this is exactly what we do- glad you brought this up. My total vehicle searches in my market has decreased over the last 90 days for both AT & Cars, yet my trackable traffic has only decreased a total of 3 leads in...

    Is anyone else having this issue with Cars.Com and Autotrader?

    Mitchell- before I go look, I'm gonna be lazy and ask- what's your call to action in your ads/batch tagline? Check mine out here: 2006 Mini Cooper, $15,793 - Cars.com Whenever I hit them with the same thing about traffic, I get the same answer. However it does seem to be something I can...

    Time for a new smartphone

    Thank you for the review of the Samsung Moment- only question I have from one parent to another- any issues with the little ones sliding out the keyboard? If I could lock the keyboard from sliding out, I'd be a happier parent- never fails that the babies get the phone when I'm not looking no...

    Time for a new smartphone

    Ooooo....is that going to be provided by Sprint??? I'm looking at the Samsung Moment to move up to after the first of the year...waiting on DealerSocket to upgrade their system to be able to handle "pager responses" to leads before I change out. Right now, text notifications work fine on my...

    What Cool Tech Gift did you get for the Holiday?

    I'm still loving the Flip I won from you and Jared- and I use the Flip channel and Facebook to post out shared videos. Also, I've basically stopped taking photos- I use the "create photos" from the frames. The next thing I need to get is a DVR-RW so I can create DVD's of our videos- over 20G's...

    GM 1 Source Leads

    Ed, I'm so glad to see you here! Hope you have an awesome 2010! I miss this aspect of WebControl right now using DealerSocket at a Ford dealership- I have no way of responding thru the ILM/CRM to stop the clock by email...and when I was using AVV/WebControl, the email sent would even change the...

    Top Dealer CRM/ILM Concerns for 2010?

    Uh- be able to respond to the customer from my cell phone and the response attach to the customer record. That's NUMBER ONE! Next would be to set up and "text blast" like we do already with email blast from DealerSocket- again having the record in the file. Oh, and no additional fee for this....

    Mystery Shop Time!

    Jerry- I can post out the email I sent you- yet I've got to be careful what I post out here due to my work's request for privacy. However I can sing the praises of what you gave for me to be able to address: The AutoTrader mystery shop proves what I lose sleep over a lot- that we lose a lot...
