    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    I disagree and I agree. I agree that someone may be a bad car salesman and a gifted coder. However I strongly disagree that a failed desk guy or a failed GM should be dictating what makes a great desking tool or what DMS/CRM reports you need to succeed. Same goes for consultants. This is why...

    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    Here’s the easiest way to answer without getting hurt feelings. Take each CEO in the current and previous (last 5 years) Automotive vendor AND consultant space and find their precious dealerships. Call them and ask about them by name. See if A. They actually worked there. B. If they have...

    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    That is the question, isn't it? What would happen? Think of it, what if we had technologies from accomplished retailers vs. failed retailers? What if we had ideas from automotive successes vs. automotive frauds? Imagine how wonderful it would be if each vendor would show you their previous...

    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    VERY well said, it's like all vendors have a get out of jail free card and they also can make it up as they go along. "I was a GM" or "I owned a store" or my personal favorite "I sold 100 cars in a single month" hahahaha really buddy?

    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    You do realize by listing them I'll be pissing a ton of people off due to the title, right?

    Automotive Reject, Vendor CEO?

    Not necessarily a gripe but more of an observation. I’ve been vetting vendors lately and have found an alarming number of their “retail work” has been that of failure. Does this worry anyone else? Bankrupting stores, being terminated due to inproprieties, prison time, criminal records... wow!

    Who are we kidding? Auto awards from a SEO company?

    Someone famous (I don’t know who) said: if he did it once, he’ll do it again... ;)

    Call Revu Needs a "REVU"

    I’ll definitely check it out but I found my managers didn’t have the time (or just didn’t) review the calls. So one of the areas where I like Call Revu is they actually do the reviewing for me. They deliver my guys what’s an opportunity, what’s an impending CSI/SSI concern, etc. It does allow...

    Who are we kidding? Auto awards from a SEO company?

    That may be so but on what proven metrics is this guide compiled? Furthermore, through which qualifications is he measuring? Wouldn’t it make sense to rely on the manufacturers that go through a strenuous vetting process through their dealer bodies and/or NADA? I mean they “are” the National...

    Who are we kidding? Auto awards from a SEO company?

    How did a SEO company built after allocations of fraud become the center of automotive industry awards?

    Call Revu Needs a "REVU"

    Never heard of Call Rail. I have Century Interactive at one store and Call Revu at the others. We prefer Call Revu as they offer the best data, the deepest data and are the fastest. I agree, their "look" isn't the best and Century is entirely more sexy but I also don't have to log in as they're...

    Location is the ad source of the unenlightened

    I don’t disagree that it’s important, I just think as of recent we’re entirely too caught up in it. There are many colleagues I know that spend 6 figures (per person) to hire folks that “analyze” the data yet they’re not mathematicians nor are they statisticians... paralysis by analysis is...

    Location is the ad source of the unenlightened

    This is a fantastic question! It’s amazing how my sales didn’t go down when I removed “driveby” from the CRM. You’d think I had the best locations in the country before that. If CRM’s were created by automotive successes instead of automotive rejects and workflows were crafted by those...
