    Service Mining Temmplate

    Anyone have a good example of a service-to-sales mining template for customers who have never purchased from your store, but do service? I'm usually fairly good at creating messaging, but this one seems to have me stuck.

    Please advise - 3 separate BDC's at the same time

    So, please advise on this situation. I entirely rebuilt 3 separate BDC's at the same time and created a pretty amazing (if I say so myself) spiderweb of Processes and Templates. The Templates are very visually appealing, with basic messaging designed solely to move the Process forward to the...

    For a Project - The Biggest Areas For Training

    You don't want to spend $10,000 a week for a Trainer to come in and teach your BDC the things they should already know, the online manufacturer courses are for kindergartners and offer no help at all, and in-store training is spotty at best. Most times, all you really have the...

    Snozzberries

    It's not often that you get a chance to tell a laugh-out-loud tale about a manufacturer screw-up, but here goes. It's auto related so I feel safe sharing it here even if it is adult in nature, although if you have delicate sensibilities you may want to skip this. Anyways, in my opinion, the...

    Expected Call Volumes

    I need as many responses as possible for this. I know of a BDC where the Reps work leads, make calls, and hand off customers to the sales floor when they come in. Each Rep has about 20-25 more e-lead opportunities per month compared to the "Best Practices" that are recommended by just about...

    Help With Odd Website Analytics & BOT Traffic.

    I'm having trouble deciphering data, and want opinions. Our web site traffic ytd for year-over-year numbers for three stores is UP 12%, 19%, and 50% respectively but for each store the total lead submissions are DOWN.

    Higher Gear CRM On The Way Out?

    I am hearing little birdies chirp, from multiple sources, that Higher Gear may be going out the door. Does anyone have more solid information? I'd hate to be left holding the bag if something were to happen and we lose all our data because it can't be transferred. Any information would be much...

    Does Anyone Respect Results?

    Just told that a 50%-75% month-by-month and year-over-year increase in BDC traffic over the past 6 months isn't really a good job. I must admit: I was stunned. In the NY/NJ metro area, I am one of the BEST BDC Directors you will ever run across and I am looking for a spot where I can put...
