Internet Marketing Manager

If you're running the internet department, managing and training BDC personnel, handling incoming leads, phone calls, building templates and scripts, plus working with customers and are also responsible for lead management and ROI, determining which 3rd party lead providers are valuable and which are not, this is a large task and not easy to juggle. Whew! That was a really long sentence. My 2 cents... 75+
I'm doing ALL of that and more!! I get 12 an hour plus $25 for appointments & $35 for Sales on those appointments (Average $500) sometimes more. I'm so busy with appointments, answering the phones, printing letters, training personnel, Service Thank You's, Appointment Reminders, Photos of Vehicles, Social Media, Comments & Inventory updates and our different websites......I'm ready to crash!!
