Read the exclusive interview with DealersUnited CEO

So here is my situation. I have been in sales for 2 years and have produced well. I had a friend who was promoted to GM of a new dealership his owner was opening up. So he asked me if I wanted to come along. He had a payplan that is better than I have ever seen with a guarantee salary and a lot of good experience I would never have gotten at my other store. So I switched stores. Now here I am. Now my new dealership has only 3 front end people. We have around 120 used cars & 200 new. The best I can tell is that no one is considering what we can do to help us gain more customers on the web. Our visibility is terrible at this point even if you type in our dealerships name we are about 6th in Google rankings. I am not sure how much our owner is willing to spend on web advertising. Of course we know about all of the usual routes cars.com/autotrader.com and we are on autotrader. So I really need advice on how I can help our dealership gain more web exposure with more people seeing that we exist. Our brand (Mitsubishi) is an under performer but we are the only Mitsubishi dealer within 50 miles of a pretty populated area. I am good with the web but I have never marketed a dealership before. Any advice on what would be a good avenue for me to take to get more people in the door would be greatly appreciated!
