As a vendor who enjoys participating in this community to share and gather information, I find it very offensive when other vendors take shortcuts and try to gain an unfair advantage over their competition by using manipulative and deceiving tactics to make others think they have “the superior product.†Take for instance the glowing testimonial above; one would think that was written by a Vin Solutions employee or perhaps a customer who was paid or provided with a free service to do so. Especially when said message has been broadcasted on other sites: We made our CRM choice! - Automotive Digital Marketing Professional Community (ADM)
One would also think that before making all these great accolades you would want to at least be using the product so you could give a more detailed and trustworthy testimonial. I am sorry but these CRM threads that you have been starting seem like they are all part of a cheesy Vin Solutions marketing ploy.
And while I am on a roll, it really irks me when a vendor comes on here and puts something like this in a post: “Is Liquid Motors ILM GM OneSource certified?†Why ask a question like that when you probably already know the answer. If your product is so good, then you shouldn’t have to throw others under the bus. We all have to play in this sandbox, so I would suggest we show our competition a little respect.
So to those who care: “Please keep in mind that certain vendors may be using creative advertising ploys to market their products, especially when certain testimonials appear to be written by the vendor themselves. It’s always recommended that you do your own due diligence when choosing products and services.â€
Now I feel better.

but so true! If anyone ever sees anything that smells froggy (even if a moderator or admin posts it) let Jeff or me know. We see a lot, but can use the help.
