This is one of those topics in which everyone will have an opinion. Some will agree in part and disagree with other components, but the hope is to stir up some discussion on the topic. We've tested these ideas and continue the constant flow of more testing; social media is always changing.

The basic Law of Reciprocity states: To give and take mutually.

Over the past 20 years we have asked less and less of our salespeople. They don't handle phone calls,they don't handle internet leads,they don't network or prospect for new business and in some cases they don't even deliver the cars they have sold.

I feel the main reason for this is that the high salesman's turnover have left us with, at best nice greeters. We all know the old adege "you get what you pay for". A quality person who wants to try automobile sales leaves because he…

We rented an RV for fall break.  We had a great four-day weekend – with the exception of driving the RV.  The shocks were completely shot.  I’d say it wallowed like a pig in mud, but I think mud has more damping power than those shocks did.  The 600 highway miles were a white knuckle experience.  Bumps sent the coach bobbing and sudden blasts of wind completely…

Did you catch the presidential debate this week? It was of the more intense events from any recent election. The candidates appeared as though they might drop the mics and go for blood any second. Luckily, it didn’t come to that, but there was another group waiting in the wings, poised to pounce at the first opportunity. Of course we’re talking about the cyber-snipers, the…

It kinda seems like the car business has turned into the "leads" business.



Dealers now spend more money on digital advertising than on any other advertising medium.



If you're not buying leads directly from the factory and the giant lead providers, then you're trying to bring in more traffic to your website in the hope visitors will call, click, message, chat or do almost anything to raise their hand and say "look at me, I'm a potential buyer" - a…

It's not a question of whether or not they should encourage their customers to like the…

In life we all have two choices; we can quit and live in mediocrity and deal with that, or we can rise up and claim the victory that we deserve because we choose to take action.

What happened to actually EARNING a great review. I got an email from a company today that offers their reputation management company that will post reviews, to my clients, that I FABRICATE for just $97/mo. WOW! How terrible is that?!? If you treat a customer well, you earn the right to ask them for their business. Reviews should be earned by providing good service to a client. Not just because it's BS to future customers though; bogus reviews prevent you from making ourselves look in…
