Re: GM Rep Management "Required"




Amen Kevin! I said it previously and I am not trying to Monday morning quarter back here, but the whole Google review hype by certain vendors was just that; hype. A lot of dealers bought into it and wasted a lot of time and money. Google is too smart to fall for all the fake mess and gaming the system. This is why I like Dealer Rater, is verified real reviews, I have not heard of anyone gaming that system yet and for good reason, they have the best process. I am sure some vendors were doing what I hope they think was right at the time, but if they stand on their soap boxes claiming to be the experts how could you not see that Google was going to tighten down on the whole review deal as it was too easy to game it. Any way, enough on that.




HA! We just met this morning with our GM regional rep about our exceptions to the DID. Let me tell you how unhappy we are that we have to rip out all the tile that is only 6 years old in our showroom to replace with what GM wants to meet a certain color. And the tile we put down 6 years ago was what GM approved then! I understand everything is going to a uniformed look, but the damn color of the tile is not helping us sell anymore Chevy's than we already are. Our rep is great and worked with us on furniture exceptions cause it is almost an exact match, so we do appreciate him doing all he can to help us save on cost.
