DealerRefresh Roadmap - taking requests

1780700047705.png

We now have our own Showroom. A fresh coat of wax on our top 100 posters by volume, our sponsors and what the benefits of being a member are.

I have plans to redesign the look and feel of the awards page. I will make a fresh post about the Best of the Best because that was such a good idea by @joe.pistell it warrants more eyeballs. We also have more ideas for it.

My 2nd favorite part of this is the Sponsor Spotlight. It is fully connected to our new Sponsor Management System. It is so cool to watch the automations from taking a lead to a full sponsor and see them appear on this page. This isn't something I can share publicly, but as someone who loves building CRM-type systems this is soooooo much better.

And oh yeah, do I now have some cool ideas for building another CRM... maybe one day ;)

SWEET additions @Alex Snyder !!

This Best of the Best feature really highlights the many OG's that have CONTINUED to participate over the years. I'm also seeing several OG's that ARE still in the business but participate very little, if at all. SHAME!! Like any long standing forum, there's peak and valleys for traffic and engagement. With these changes we are already experiencing a HUGE peak. Maybe some of these OG's that no longer participate will find their way back to the OG of dealer forums. :woot:

Sponsor Spotlight is a HUGE upgrade for our sponsors. It's obvious you've been tapping into your abilities and experience building out CRM/CMS. Before you're done, DealerRefresh will be a turnkey marketing platform for industry vendors. Hummmm :thinker:
