Sorry for the all caps! It makes me smile when people do that.
Anyway, I want to confess my love for this forum. I remember when I was thrown into an Internet Manager position and I was clueless and in 1999 there wasn't a forum or internet training that I was aware of. I had to figure everything out on my own.
I recently did a 30 day challenge without any social media and here is what I experienced.....I found that it was most difficult not being able to use my friends for advice or recommendations. That is why this forum is so great. You can ask a question that you honestly don't know the answer to and receive a million answers in no time. Not only that but you will receive wrong answers, good, answers, great answers, and even advanced answers from people like Uncle Joe that if you understood it you could catapult your business 5 years ahead.
People like Shereef doing the chat trial to prove to dealers that chat doesn't take away from phone or email. Chat is a product that enhances your business and it works for every dealership. I have actually sent dealers to that thread that closed because of those reports. Thanks Shereef!
The forum is nothing without the participation of all the dealers and vendors. I know from speaking with Jeff that there are many people on here that don't participate. I want to encourage you to give your two cents and you will only help make this forum that much better.
Vendors, encourage your dealers to visit this forum. I do! I know, I know.....there are like 1 million ads for chat competition on this forum and it has caused questions but for the most part I don't have any problem overcoming those ads. I would rather help that dealer educate themselves or be part of helping spread the word for the better of the car business. Overall competition is good because it brings awareness and causes change if you are getting beat out. In my eyes I personally want to thank my competition because I once was banging my head on a wall to explain why chat is important and now I only take orders and explain why Contact At Once.
Much Love! oh, and I was not paid for this nor do we get a discount on our ad for this post. This was straight from my heart and was not encouraged by anyone from the forum or outside the forum.
