The GM 1 Source tool went down early Monday afternoon, when it came back up for us Tuesday afternoon, the proverbial flood gates opened with GM Handraiser leads (47 +/-), most were duplicates, triplicates and fifth's from as far back as October 2009.  We've not had much success with Handraiser leads, in fact, I don't recall ever having a "hot prospect" GM Handraiser lead do business with us.  In my opinion, it's best for your sanity, to not consider them as "in market shopper's", but names to add our data base in the hopes that one day they will be in the market, and with proper follow up and marketing of our special sales and service event's, maybe one day, earn their business.  Persistence is key, RIGHT?     :lmao:

 

However, what gets me, is their qualified 3rd party lead program.  They highly promote these leads as being scrubbed, valid and ready to rock!  But, in reality, they are anything but....

 

So we do what we can to build rapport and keep on working them, 'cuz one day they will be in the market, and we want them to buy from us, don't we?  That's the fun part   :thumbup:
