WOW! This new thread seems to be a little much from a guy that was trying to find a new CRM and asked for advice on the top forums of our Industry.
By the way - I am the FINNEY whose name is slung around in the first thread. I am also trying to find a new CRM, much like Mr. Benner.
I really see this two ways. (If you read my posts from ADM it may help).
1 As a person at the dealership level we aren't out to sell or downgrade any vendor on purpose - we really just want advice and quick help. After all what are forums for? I prefer it come from other dealers but I do read the replies from vendors. However, as a person buying products you really can't get a good idea if you don't "name the vendor" when posting or asking questions.
2. If you don't want to see vendors reply then remove the replies from the forum that's why you moderate it.
I have not yet made my CRM decision and I now want to go back and reread the post but I think I see why insertion from my post on ADM was used. So, if anyone - preferably dealers- want to help me figure this out let me know. I came here to posts some questions and was surpised to find my name all over the place... I could tell a whole lot more about that vendor!
