    Dataium users?

    Jason, thanks, I will attend the webinar. kcar, From what I have seen, Dataium's claim to fame is that they are able to track activity on so many different automotive websites, making them able to alert you when an old lead goes back "in market" on a competitors site or cars.com, etc... I am...

    ONLINE newspaper marketing vs GOOGLE PPC vs NEWS Website

    I can't speak to if you should do one or the other. I advertise on our local newspaper website. It's a little smaller of a town so their numbers aren't quite the same, but the price reflects. Think like 150,000 unique. Anyway, we get .21% CTR and they spend about a minute and a half on the...

    My Review of Phone Ninjas - Mystery Shop Service - 10/10 ★ - Phenomenal

    This thread better not have been a sales pitch... if it was, it was a good one. I just ordered the book, i figure even if it's complete crap, it's only $25. Can't go wrong... I've heard some phone ninja operators and I'm impressed.

    Dataium users?

    Jeff, I'm trying to determine if there is any other dealers in the community using dataium for tracking on their dealer websites. I'm curious if anyone has had success using their tools, what type of tracking you are able to do, and if it's a worthwhile investment. I'm currently using a...

    Mercedes-Benz of Chantilly - Sales Consultant

    I spent the majority of my career at a Mercedes-Benz dealership. Anyone looking to become a pro in sales has a great opportunity here. Penske is known as a great dealership to work for and they know how to sell cars. If I didn't live in another state, I'd be bringing my Master Certification...

    ELead BDC. Anyone else using them, or can give me a review of thier services.

    ajholland, I have received the updates and am experiencing little bugs. They seem to be going away, but I haven't really paid a lot of attention the last few days. I'm guessing they're just growing pains. As far as the ipad, i haven't experienced any trouble using the ilm. it seems to work...

    Thanks Jeff, I will get that settled today. Trying to help someone else and I get a little help. Funny how that works... Wish more dealers were open and on these forums!

    ELead BDC. Anyone else using them, or can give me a review of thier services.

    Well, I can't really speak for the call center so I didn't want to get too in depth. I know that Ford was using them for awhile to follow up with service customers and make sales appointments. The appts were almost a 60% no show, but it was pretty cool just to have people show up with no work...

    ELead BDC. Anyone else using them, or can give me a review of thier services.

    I use an elead ILM. If that's helpful, I would gladly give a review of their service. I am constantly telling my rep that they're the only vendor that doesn't cause me trouble. If you want to know more, just say so...

    Pricing Vehicles - What way do you do it? $20,000 - $19,995 - $19,999, $19,938, $19,988 ?

    I think this approach can be a little deceiving... Not all 3rd party sites use the $10,000 - $15,0000 platform. Case in point, cars.com, says $10,001 - $15,000. Now that strategy loses it's core philosophy. Note: My cars are priced at $20,000 etc...

    Used Car Photos Discussion

    I wonder this too... But, what is the alternative. Not posting until you have a picture to take? That worries me because traditional sense would say that any info helps.

    I love what I do, but it is so f-ing stressful.

    At least I'm not alone. I'm in the beginning stages of this problem.

    Setting up a Photo Booth

    That's all well and good, unless you don't live in SoCal and you have 8 feet of snow out front or it's pouring rain. The worst is seeing that photo come summer time; Customer: that car's been on the lot awhile!! Studios eliminate the weather aspect and add a level of consistency. But, you...

    Setting up a Photo Booth

    I have been messing with the lights for quite some time. When I move them to the ends it makes the center very dark. If I get a chance today, I'll show you what I mean. I have 3 ql1000's with softboxes and similar to what the op explains for backdrop. Also, I do have to turn the car...
