    Biggest Takeaways from #NADA2014

    From the looks and size of the booths, I took away that the automotive industry is alive and well. We also picked up a CRM and a new DMS. I also took away that key machines are quite expensive and there still is not a very good solution for securing Nissan intelligent keys.

    That sucks man. I know how you feel; my situation was similar. It took me leaving the dealership for 2 months just to get a small salary. However, I am grateful. I hope things get better for you Maxx.

    NADA 2014 - Agenda & Who's going?

    New Orleans is only 133 from our store. I am pretty sure I am the only person at the dealership who wants to go. I will try to be there; gotta ask the boss first.

    Our 2014 Nissan Rogue just arrived.

    We just got in our first 2014 Nissan Rogue. I am very excited about it. The Rogue is already a great seller in our market and I think the 2014 version will sell even better. We will have to give away the 2013 that are left on the lot. And of course, pics, we all like pics..:) It is cold and...

    new website

    I was in a similar situation. We had a cheap $200 website and it sucked. We commissioned DealerOn to build a new website for us and it works very well. It looks good, it's easy to use, and it converts visits to high quality leads. The customer service at DealerOn is superb also. We are a small...

    Online Pricing Myths Debunked

    My competitors advertise their internet price at invoice. How do they make money and how can I compete with that while remaining profitable?

    How to handle a lot hog.

    Eley, Thanks for the reply. I am not the kind of person who rocks the boat. I am quite passive and would rather let a sleeping dog lie, as we say here in the South. Which is the reason I am asking for advice here instead of blowing out my sales manger over it. This particular sales persons...

    How to handle a lot hog.

    Thanks for the replies. Both of you are exactly right in your assesment of the situation. Nothing is going to change. We can't afford to lose or piss off our top seller. However, I am not going to put up with it. It looks like Sandy Sansing Auto Group is going to gain an Internet Manager if this...

    How to handle a lot hog.

    Hello Refreshers, Today I come to you with a dilemma that has been plaguing our store for a very long time. We have a 20+ car superstar that works at our dealership. Last month he sold 27 vehicles and just yesterday he did two deals that totaled over $13,000 front gross and $8,000 on the back...

    I need some inventory photo advice.

    Jay, Vernon has some very nice photos. Very consistent angles. I like how the room they use matches the brown/beige theme of the website. Thanks Jay.

    I need some inventory photo advice.

    Does anyone have any links to some good inventory photos? I would like to see what angles the front and rear quarter panels should be taken at and things like that.

    Alex, That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much.

    I need some inventory photo advice.

    I always search before I post but I did not find what I was looking for. Perhapds I am using the wrong search terms or looking in the wrong place. However, I did find some good lens recommedations. Thanks for the link. What kind of filter do you recommend?

    I need some inventory photo advice.

    I would like to take the photos of our inventory whenever our 3rd party inventory service is running behind. I would like some tips on how to photograph vehicles in the sun. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you.

    Prospecting or Trolling: Where is your vendor line?

    After I posted about website providers, I was surprised at how many phone calls I got from vendors. While most of them were trying offer a solution to my problem, I still found it to be a little trollish.

    Nissan Core Lead Quality

    Yes, the third party leads. They were terrible. Leads rarely answered the phone IF the number was valid. They never read emails IF the address was valid. I got hung up on at least once or twice a day. I did get in contact with a few of them and sold some cars. A majority of the folks I actually...

    Nissan Core Lead Quality

    Nissan Core Leads suck in my market. I went ahead and gave Nissan Leads the ax. This thread should be deleted.

    Which dealer website provider?

    ddavis, That was not offensive or blunt at all. That is the kind of advice I need, as long as one is kind with their words. The person who built our site is the same guy who takes photos of the inventory for everyone in our area. It is not even a "company" so to speak. He does not have time do...
