Have you been blitzed by team ATC yet?

Jay- i was wrong. you in fact have done training seminars with autotrader.com. I even spoke with a guy you know from Sonic years ago. I should not have called you a liar or questioned your integrity. I apologize.

The hardest lessons in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which brudges to burn...i am human and i am still learning.

Jennifer- their are no words for your TOTAL lack of class...

Because you want me to leave this site so badly...i think i will stick around.

Until then- I should probably chill out a little before i get into trouble. thanks Jay

Amy -

I never wanted you to leave this site in the first place! I have no clue where you got that idea from, I am glad you are back and getting into action!

We all work in a world of hard core competitors as you know. But here at Dealerrefresh it is good that all of us get togethor and actually speak our minds. You came off pretty hard in the beginning, do you remember???

Lack of Class, lol, thats silly. Each one of us here are in a Class of their own, and for sure it's not lacking ;)

Again, I am glad you are back! Don't give up so easily!

AT needs to revamp some of their reps and let the local reps give those discounts etc that the Blitz team does. Many dealer have a rep they have a lot of trust in but does Auto Trader trust their reps to provide them with the discounts etc?

Alex,

You saw what happened last time, did you really think a post on Autotrader would come in under 100? :) I don't think there is another vendor any of us use that would get this much attention on a post.

Now if we could only go viral and give them the Husker BMW treatment, maybe then they would cut us a break on pricing. Do I have any volunteers for the Chip Perry talking head?????

Alex: "Am I going to lose the "under" bet? Here's another post toward my loss :)"

I've been trying to help you win Alex by staying (mostly) out of the fray, but who started this one in the first place? :)

And just for the record, it would make my day if ATC discontinued blitzes immediately if not sooner. IMHO, the long-term damage done (to image, credibility and local relationships) more than offsets the short-term revenue generated. Note that I am not disparaging the value of the solutions. It's just that I, like many others, am not a fan of this particular sales tactic.

What number am I?

EK, I'm not on vacation though I sure wish I were. This post as all Alex.

The job has me busy and the last I looked at this post it was floating around 40 comments. I do apologize for not catching up sooner.

It seems as if things are simmering down a little now. I'm glad to see that.

As for the Blitz, you know...I sort of always enjoyed the blitz team. I never really wanted to beat up my actual Reps too bad (until Derek came along). I would wait to unleash my fury on the Blitz team AND I got EVERYTHING in WRITING on the CONTRACT.

I'll admit, I worked some good deals when the Blitz came to town, BUT too had to fax over copies of my contract to corporate several times in the weeks to follow. More then once, I had to fight to get what I signed up for. So, I can only imagine the mess that the local reps had/have to deal with after the AutoTrader Blitz teams go back into their holes.

Amy, I hope you are fine and stick around. We have some very passionate people here.

Jeff, I've been calling on dealers for longer than I care to remember. Thank God I have never had one unleash his furry on me. I've had to withstand a dealer's fury on a number of occasions, but the first time one unleashes his furry on me, I'm switching careers!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
