    Any dealers using TikTok for marketing campaigns?

    That's a very common result. I've seen this happen in auto and elsewhere too. It makes sense when you think of it. With video, you have the opportunity to attract people that are attracted to your products & people. Every dealership I know that's active on social *being social* has no issues...

    I built an AI Agent to answer a dealer's phone

    Hey! Thanks! It's not a fancy voicemail. Our agents will have a full conversation with customers. We decided the nature/temperature of the agent. We can choose to have customer service or sales oriented agents depending on the context. We have solid & flexible scripts, that allow us to push...

    2024 Cox Automotive Forcast: My takeaways

    I just went through Cox Automotive's 2024 forecast, this is what I noted: Slow Growth Ahead, But No Recession: The forecast for 2024 predicts weak economic growth due to high-interest rates and declining inflation, which will limit consumer spending and slow job and income growth. However, a...

    AI (Artificial Intelligence) - Anyone Benefitting from it?

    AI can definitely help car dealers if done correctly. I started playing with that about a year ago and testing new ways to increase productivity/performance. Not always easy, but it's fun & not going away. No, it's not perfect, but neither are humans lol. If you haven't seen it already, I...

    @jenniferexclusive have you considered running paid social media ads, these generally do very well from what you're describing.

    Running ads in December: Stop on the 24th?

    For sure is self-fulfilling. I get it, and I don't. Can't remember who said it but I got this quote on my desktop: "When things are easy is when you go hard". If you know everyone's dropping their ad spend, this is where you grab the market. Otherwise, I can't catch you complaining everyone's...

    Running ads in December: Stop on the 24th?

    Love it guys! Thanks for your feedback. I'm always amazed to see some of our clients every year drop ads because it's slow. Of course it's going to be slower if you cut traffic haha. Chicken or egg? :P

    Running ads in December: Stop on the 24th?

    Every year I've been having this conversation with some dealers, I got my take on it, curious to see what's yours: A) Run full month OR B) Focus on first 24 days. Which team are you?

    From 80-100. My store's journey to 100 units a month

    That's probably because you're doing everything manually. By leveraging the correct amount of tech, you can automate 95% of this and take high-intent customers of the autopilot when the timing is right. It's not hard nowadays, we're just so freaking impatient in auto. Most dealers are missing...

    I built an AI Agent to answer a dealer's phone

    A couple of weeks ago, I ignored my to-do list and spent a full day building an AI Agent taking phone calls for car dealers. This is the result:

    Is anyone using Autoalert CXM?

    It's hard to suggest anything because it all depends on each dealer's style, but here's a checklist you can use. I made this for a client of mine who was going crazy listening to boring demos that didn't apply to their reality. Pro tip, send this to your potential CRM vendor ahead of time so...
