Proactive Dealer Solutions

Thanks for asking Mitch. We are going to find out next week. Our BDC manager is heads there for a week of training. Will keep you up to date.

Eley - what was your BDC Manager's PDS experience?

I would like to hear from anyone who has worked with PDS as we just started working with them. The productivity and results their system predicts is impressive. Thanks

  • While most responses are limited to second-hand positive impressions, one auto group manager provides the most substantive insight: PDS offers solid processes and actionable advice, but success heavily depends on full CRM adoption across the entire sales team and management buy-in—without this organizational commitment, their predicted results won't materialize.
  • The thread concludes without a definitive recommendation, leaving the original poster still investigating before making a decision.
