#RefreshFriday Merchandizing - Someone is Launching a new Service | Joe Pistell

Your Feedback on the 2 tag lines please:

AutoMagic Labs
"Less Leads, More Turns"


AutoMagic Labs
"Expertise in Every Turn"

My feedback from a dealer's perspective:
No dealer ever wants to hear the phrase "less leads." And every vendor touts their expertise (which is often just a former car salesperson who couldn't make it on the floor), it's the same as every dealer saying family owned.

Here would be my spin on it:

True. I'll never forget you preaching to the DDC devs

Lead gen volume is a KPI that is hard for a dealer to cancel.
