    Lead Response Services

    DING DING DING!!! Ladies and Gentlemen...we have a winner! It's not much different than when you have that employee that you would like to get rid of but are afraid they are the type to bring legal actions afterwards. You start compiling your information so that you are protected after the...

    Is Cobalt getting better?

    I hate to admit it but this video pretty much throws the "cookie cutter" websites argument out the window. (You have NO idea how bad it hurts me to say that!)

    Digital Dealer 12 - #DD12 - What did you think?

    Re: Digital Dealer 12 Thanks for the update and for making me feel better about skipping. Glad to know I made the right decision! Maybe now the conference will get small enough to return to Nashville. :D

    Would You Attend A Free Webinar On Photographing Your Inventory (Best Practices)

    I'm always looking for pointers on taking better pictures. We do not have a photo booth so I'm at the mercy of Mother Nature. When is it?

    DealerSocket, get your act together (RANT)

    You are right about List Builder. It is a very powerful tool but could be built in a much more intuitive way. Not every dealership has a computer programming that can think through the database using Logic statements to find the data you need. Once you get the hang of it, it gets better but...

    GM Dealers - Is your Cobalt Site Linked to Your Places Page?

    After this thread was started, I went through and corrected my listing that I claimed many years ago. It took several days for Google to finally update it but I did see that it was corrected. After reading the thread tonight, I went back to double check and found that it had been changed...

    GM Dealers - Is your Cobalt Site Linked to Your Places Page?

    I have had our claimed for many years as well. I did receive the email on 1/12 and it does say "unclaimed" pages. I just sent an email to my Procare Advocate to find out what is going on with this.

    Game Last Night

    First off....can I get a Roll Tide???? There were plenty of people around the country that said that Alabama did not deserve to be in the game for a variety of reasons. Whether they wanted their own teams to be there or they did not want to see the SEC win an unprecedented SIX straight...

    Hilarious used car comments - article featured in Jalopnik!

    Is this what happens when you use the Big Piece of Cheese on the vAuto Comment Writer? This is hilarious. I'm going to send this to my GM and see if this is how I need to start writing our Seller's Notes on all our vehicles. Was this guy speaking at any of the Vegas conferences in the past few...

    Original Window Sticker

    This is an awesome tool to have your toolbox. I tried to mainpulate the URL for GMBuypower to get the same result but had not luck. I called and they showed me how I can request a window sticker and have it 7-10 days later but I told the nice lady that I was looking for something with a bit...

    DealerSocket - Need help

    I also added my email account to DealerSocket so that inbound emails would be logged in DealerSocket. I had to remove it though because it was deleting emails off the server before I could read them in Outlook. Still a work in progress but I'm closer than I was. Glad this helped ya Blake.

    DealerSocket - Need help

    Hunter, Thanks for the help. I changed the email address that my correspondence goes out to match the one on my phone and added the account to DealerSocket. I'm going to try that for a few days and see if that works like we discussed. If not, we will try something else.

I am trynig to figure out a way to respond to email directly from my iPhone during off hours instead of having to log in on my laptop from home.

    Dealer.com - Deep Linking to Detail Page by Stock Number?

    We have discussed using QR Codes on the Window Stickers here and the easiest way I have found to accompish what you are talking about it by using Dealer.com to print your Window Stickers. Your Account Manager should be able to show you how this works and it seemed pretty affordable from what I...

    Newsletters

    I have heard good things about them from several different sources. We have been hesitant to sign with them until we had enough email addresses to make it worth while. It is something that we are looking very closely at right now for the near future though.

    Dealersocket Running Slow?

    The system may be running slow but it is not near as slow as their Support is. Wish I could link this to the Dealer.com thread so people could understand what poor suport really looks like. I've been working for two weeks for a simple Inventory image feed issue and I still have no images in...

    GM –Cobalt “Digital Ad Package†– are you getting a return?

    Re: GM Cobalt "Digital Ad Package", are you getting a return? We have had zero problems with Dealer.com. We were actually with them before the iMR program was around so I can't really comment on any issues with swapping over. Since we are going to have to keep the Cobalt site around we...

    GM –Cobalt “Digital Ad Package†– are you getting a return?

    Re: GM Cobalt "Digital Ad Package", are you getting a return? That is the exact setup that we have here. Our Dealer.com is our primary site and the Cobalt site is just kinda there. We were somewhat strong-armed into the site to begin with but our store has been anti-Cobalt for almost a...
