As a newbie Vendor in this Industry, I'm very interested in hearing more from the Dealers here. I understand and agree with the comments on what not to do. And I'm beginning to develop and execute a strategy of how best to engage with Dealers who I truly believe I can help.
Different dealers will have different suggestions on how to best contact them and start a conversation. Would you respond with what are the 'best practices' for a Vendor who wants to begin a conversation with you?

✨ AI Highlights
A dealership manager complaints about vendors showing up unannounced, sparking debate over sales tactics and professionalism. While some respondents agree that walk-ins are disrespectful and dealers should enforce appointment-only policies, vendors counter that dealerships are often unreachable by phone and that cold visits are sometimes more effective than countless unanswered calls. The thread reveals a fundamental tension: dealerships want respect for their time, but many are simultaneously unresponsive to outreach, forcing vendors to resort to in-person visits as a last resort.
