    BUSTED Spincar caught selling dealer data

    I got lost when David Kain's integrity was questioned. The guy is one of the most stand up people I've ever had a chance to meet and I'm proud to call him a friend.

    Why is Video so difficult?

    IMO videos ARE great, but they do take a lot of time. I was doing videos back in 2007/2008 when nobody was. Especially not in our tiny area of Auburn, NY. I would do weekly video specials, used car blowouts, etc... I had video auto-responders, video emails, you name it, I had it. As Joe...

    major decrease in email leads

    We changed our "ePrice" button to a custom button that reads "Get Jane's Best Price". Jane is our Dealer Principle. The personal touch has had positive returns so far. There hasn't been a drop off in ePrice leads, I do know that. Plus it helps our sites look less cookie-cutter.

    Showroom Background Music

    About 3 years ago I went to a site visit for our Dealer 20 Group in Southern Florida. A really big Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram store. They were playing rap on the showroom speakers. Not too loud but not too soft either! I was enjoying it but I thought it was a little odd!

    This may be why you don't Outsource your Chat on off hours..

    To their defense, she/he may of assumed that you had a brain fart and wrote Nissan. One would be more likely to confuse the make rather than the model. But, I agree, chat answering services are VERY hit or miss. I like them but only when the rep is trained and with it. W/O that, chat does...

    What's in YOUR Garage?

    This is my summer ride. I love him and my son named him SilverBee! I have a CRV as my DEMO through our Honda store for the winter! I'd like to upgrade to a convertible but I don't know when that will happen!

    Feedback from dealers using TRUECar

    I'm with you on this Dan. I get tired of hearing of Jerry's and Doug's "Expert" opinion on how TruCar Dealers are lazy, Blah, Blah, Blah. I'm for whatever sells cars. We pulled A LOT of buyers from Fort Drumm that we would NEVER had sold had we'd not been on the program. We aren't with them...

    Facebook Likes for your dealership - How are you getting more?

    If I may chime in here... I don't think it takes money. It takes a passion and a enjoyment for Facebook. If you (not YOU Yago) are one of those people that isn't personally active on FB then this way of word spreading isn't for you. And if you pay a 3rd party vendor to run your site, it will...

    Facebook Likes for your dealership - How are you getting more?

    This is my biggest pet-peeve. I am VERY proud of my 621 Likes that I have gotten for us. They are ALL real and most of them are local. You get some "Distant" Likes by having contests but they normally stick around so it's worth it. When these vendors call me and want to run my Social Media I...

    Facebook Likes for your dealership - How are you getting more?

    Wow. I guess I have some explaining to do! In my original comment, I said that I sold 5 last week from Facebook. (2) from my dealership page and (3) from my personal account. The (3) from my personal account is the easier of the two and I probably sell 5-8 a month by keeping tabs on my...

    Facebook Likes for your dealership - How are you getting more?

    By I, I meant the dealerships. They were 5 referrals and I gave their information to my ISM's. they set the appointments that day and got them in. The Sales Teams did the rest. BUT, they were 5 referrals that I wouldn't have seen if not for FB.

    Facebook Likes for your dealership - How are you getting more?

    Yeah. It's not about selling cars on FB it's about creating brand awareness. I sold 5 cars last week from our Dealership FB page as well as my personal FB page. I had three different friends mention that they were "car shopping". They didn't seek me out, I sought them out and commented on...
