How do you advertise a competitive price and hold gross at the same time?

What tactics is your dealership using to balance the need to use competitive, market-driven pricing to generate traffic with the desire to hold gross?

When you price high you get no traffic but when you price competitively (or even aggressively) you have little or no room to negotiate.

How is your dealership currently handling this dilemma?

Very Simple - Sell Value over Price... Low Price = Low Value... B.C.

Here is a good presentation by Dennis Galbraith that pretty much sums it up. http://bit.ly/deGTHE

Mark - Great comment, it's spot on! Dennis Galbraith is always clear and loaded with insight. In his video he mentions RealDeal reports. Of course I think RealDeal is the most elegant way to justify - and hold - a competitive price, but a dealer doesn't have to use RealDea,l or even vAuto, to employ the tactics Dale Pollak has been discussing with dealers lately.

Dale will be conducting a free webinar this Friday titled: Documentation Replaces Negotiation: 4 Easy and Effective Strategies to Improving Gross Profit. He'll be discussing ways that any dealer can justify their price and do it without spending a dime.

Here's the link to the dealerELITE event page for the webinar: Dale Pollak Webinar - Documentation Replaces Negotiation: 4 Easy and Effective Strategies to Improving Gross Profit

Again, it's costs nothing to attend or to implement the ideas discussed!
