Hmmmm, that's not possible. Our system can't produce a lead without the accompanying info. We specifically built it that way.

Give me a call and we can discuss. 314-701-6369.
Thank you for the phone conversation. Understanding how your tools work just cemented my opinion of InMarket Solutions as well as gave me a lens of understanding if we were to review other Direct Mail initiatives using your tools. Thanks again and we'll talk in Q3.
 
The winds of change is in the air...

@A Kappler You need an AI wiz kid, not a dev.
Yea I mostly agree with this. The future is going to be where ai experts level all the competition but the key will be also thoroughly understanding the problem statement in order to drive the value. 95% of businesses fail I think I heard somewhere. The same will probably also be true for ai companies and the gap will be subject matter expertise. If some kid dishes out some slop and claude tells him "great idea" it may sound good at face value, but will the market care? Probably not.

dude, read before you write.

PART 1:
You write: "but the key will be also thoroughly understanding the problem statement in order to drive the value. "

This is the foundation of what I said:

I disagree. "AI Experts" is sooo 2026.
The future is going to be where subject matter experts, will be finally free to tackle really big problems. They'll pump their knowledge & experiences into AI, and, they'll create stunning solutions that legacy systems can't see, can't produce, can't support and can't monetize.

but thats not exactly what you said... im not here to argue, brother. thats why i said i mostly agree. ai whiz kids and subject matter experts are two totally different things. anyone can write slop, in fact, some may write good slop... but it will have zero place in the market unless its thoroughly vetted and that knowledge (for instance in this car industry) isnt going to come from the ai slopper whiz kid. its going to come from the guy who doesn't use ai at all and they will work together to get something nice the market actually wants.

"ai experts is sooo 2026.."? sry im confused on this one my autism doesnt allow me to move past this detail. it is 2026. maybe you are being sarcastic? i dont get sarcasm well if so.
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer asks for developer recommendations to build a custom in-house trade-in and car-buying data collection tool, having found existing solutions like ICO and TradePending insufficient. The thread detours into a real-world critique of a direct mail campaign using Textium's platform through InMarket Solutions, where trade lead capture rates were surprisingly low, resolved after a direct phone call clarifying a likely agency misconfiguration. A secondary debate emerges about whether building such tools requires an AI expert or a developer, with participants ultimately agreeing that domain expertise is the critical differentiator regardless of the technology used.
