    Seeking Advice on Effective Salesman Pay Plans for a Mid-sized Used Car Dealership

    I am suggesting commission only structure. Draw is still commission only. I would never do a flat. I want my sales staff fighting for gross, just like me. I am not suggesting that a flat plus percentage is a bad thing if that is what you are more comfortable with. I am absolutely suggesting...

    Seeking Advice on Effective Salesman Pay Plans for a Mid-sized Used Car Dealership

    Without going into a bunch of questions, I will give you my general feeling about sales pay plans. Simple is better. If I ask someone to explain their pay plan, and the first thing they do is reach for a pen and something to write on......bad sign. Too complicated. $500 Pack. All expenses are...

    Dealers are using Ads wrong and leaving money on the table

    How did you do in March. MTD for April. Good job doubling sales......during the biggest month of the year for used car dealers. I am interested in seeing if your client is sustaining that level of success.

    vAuto Replacement

    I have been with Dealers Link for I am not with VinCue. I was before they sold and then it became more expensive than I could justify. I don't know that this is the same today. When I was with them, whenever I noticed vehicles missing from a competitive set I could call VinCue and ask them to...

    New Dealer Introduction & Questions

    Hi Christopher. Congratulations on the new business. Lending options when you are brand new are tough. Go ahead and get signed up with Westlake and Western as you are in the process of doing. Vantage is a really good option for a new dealer. Not only will they give you access to lenders that...

    Announcing: LVL Up Auto - Vendor Management Platform

    As a smaller Independent Dealer, I find it really frustrating when I am looking for solutions for my dealership. Say I want a CRM, I Google, call each one of them, have to book a demo, we fall in love with each other, and then I find out that they are far too high maintenance for me. So I move...

    Jon, this is cool! I see the Landing Page says over 300 Vendors. Is there a list of Partner Vendors that you could share? Good work! I see dealerships buying this.

    First Post New Dealer in Oregon!

    Good advice. I have had many people over the years wanting to move from curbing to being a car dealer. They want to ask questions and figure out what it takes to be an actual dealer. None of them made the jump.

    From 80-100. My store's journey to 100 units a month

    We are using all 3. If the Vehicle of Interest is sold, we always include alternative inventory. I honestly can't say that we do that in all instances. That is something I need to look at closely especially on Facebook Paid leads. Those leads are never on my website so only see one vehicle...

    From 80-100. My store's journey to 100 units a month

    Every time I see you talk about this Bill, I migrate a little closer to your process. I started out chasing the hell out of these people for 45 days. What a waste of time and focus. Right now I am down to Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 30. The difference is that we don't mark them Lost. We put them in...

    Has 10DLC Registration shut down your CRM Text Messaging?

    If a business has been verified, and wishes to add an additional Toll Free Number, must that business be Verified again when the new number is added? Same for Standard Number, if the business adds another number, should the 10DLC Registration need to be done again? Thanks

    Has 10DLC Registration shut down your CRM Text Messaging?

    Just a sidenote for everyone struggling with this 10DLC issue, Toll Free Numbers are exempt from these regulations.

    Has anyone used or hear of Lead Zen CRM?

    When we set this up on our website, it was really just another lead form. We would get the lead notification and simply start texting from one of our personal cell phones. Now that I have a CRM, these flow into there, and we message through the CRM. The majority of the Text Messages that we...
