Hello everyone. I've been reading this for a few months but decided to sign up to ask for some guidance. I'm currently working primarily as a salesperson but I also do a number of jobs that somehow fall under my responsibility. The dealership has recently changed from franchised to independent, and the main store has downsized, with a few other locations planned in the near future. The moral of the story here is that standing by the door isn't going to give me the opportunity to sell the number of cars I want. I've been given a little money to play with and the stipulation that the leads I generate are mine (Theoretically, I think I'll at least keep 50-75% of them when the rubber hits the road). Thus far, I've been doing facebook specials and listing used cars on craigslist. The majority of our customers are subprime credit, but we were really underwhelmed by the Auto Credit Express leads and thus I'm hesitant to go that direction again. If you were a salesperson in this position, which direction would you want to go? Third party leads seem to be the most appealing because it's easy for me to track as opposed to calls or website leads coming in where the customer could end up with another salesperson. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or would like any details! -Grace
