Some say that a dealer doesn’t need overnight chat operators because some research shows that only 10 percent of dealership web traffic occurs between midnight and 8 am. They estimated that with a 3 percent chat rate that would extrapolate to only 15 chats per month with 5,000 visitors. Here’s why even if those figures are accurate,…

I do not, however, understand the concept of not even trying to mix things up. There’s an easy road and a hard road for automotive social…

I trying to figure out how to compensate them enough so that they'll stick around and be motivated to make outbound calls all day.

Hello,After being in sales for almost two years, I have been in the "internet department" for about a year (off and on at first) while our dealership went through a couple of managers. Our last internet director left the dealership in March and I was now tasked with taking on not only achieving my monthly sales goals, but to also do the behind the scenes work at the dealership for the internet department and a bit of CRM management and clean-up of processes and templates for the internet…Continue

In my 20 years as sales manager, I have seen them come, and seen them go. Plenty of them. Made many into successful managers and top performers. I train on rapport building as "part" of salesmanship, but have never seen a salesperson take rapport building TOO far. Until now... I have counselled and discussed that rapport building is great but TOO MUCH RAPPORT CAN BE LETHALLY DEADLY to a car deal. That being said...I am not looking so much for a discussion, as I am some material, articles, etc…Continue
