    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    We get around this by not displaying which dealer is posting the deal until a member signs up and wants to contact the dealer. So dealer detail is not displayed to everyone on the site. This is all true. You are actually only getting leads based on the deals you post. Which if you don't have...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Your numbers are good. It sounds like you know your what you want and need. My site would help you with the 10 2010 Camry's you have in stock that you would want to move and also any manager demos you have with miles on them that needs to go. Really my site is for the top 10 percent of your...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Thanks. I see your point. It's true if you can market and sell your own inventory and generate all of your own leads without needing any outside help is wonderful and I applauded you if you can do it. I didn't come in to push any product, just asking questions and getting feed back. Which I...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Thank you Clay for the insight. If you are successful marketing your cars and inventory, then you won't have a need for our site. But as you say, you don't want to miss any opportunity out their either. As for only buying the best lead, how is that determined? How big the website is that...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Hi Jeff, You have a great site here. The current model for most websites are either, build a list of all makes and models and then have a client browse through them and then create a "Get a Quote" lead and the lead is then sold to multiple dealers buying the lead. Dealers still pay for this...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    It would be competing just as much as cars.com, carsdirect.com or any 3rd party website out there displaying cars and dealers. The points is dealers pay for marketing regardless of where you advertise. How much you pay per lead or walk in is up to how good your marketing department is. Our...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    I completely understand. This site wasn't created to compete with the dealer's own home page. I found that there was a middle market for clients that are out of the research stage and were in the shopping stages. We wanted to create a central hub for customers to browse their dealer's local car...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Hi Joe, We just launched 2 week ago. The traffic will be there when we turn on our marketing. We need dealers to sign up for a good inventory of new car specials before we direct more traffic. It's a catch 22, since if we don't have dealers signed up then all the traffic I send to the site...

    Thoughts about a Unique lead system

    Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and wanted to get everyone's thoughts on buying unique 3rd party leads. This would be similar to a lead that was created from your homepage without having the lead be sold to multiple dealers already. The unique lead would be a client interested in an exact...

    AutoUSA and Dealix Lead Data

    When I was an Internet Sales Manager, I have used all of the above lead providers. I agree with Matt about the quality of lead order. But that order also goes for what stage the customer is in while shopping online also. I think the low percentages with 3rd party leads is that they are bought...
