Agreed, long distance selling act will cause issues, if we make the experience good enough, why wouldn't people want to come on site?

With issues of account hacking due to spam emails, why can't Autotrader allow leads to go to CRM systems, this way it would prevent the email spam hack once and for all and also allow a quicker cleaner, process for those who use CRM

Which track will the simulator be based on, need some practice ;-) -
Whilst the sales junior was out taking photos of a used car, (off site) ready to be loaded on to the web, a lady walking her dog noticed and asked about it, he said it was for sale and she said she really liked it, came round 15 minutes later (by the time she walked to the dealership) and bought it. Just wondered who else has had lucky sales?

Guys send me any new Nissan / Suzuki leads please ;-) -
Be very careful guys - we have despite my earlier words above, sold one down south, guy sent a driver to collect, found it was stolen credit card details 2 weeks after collection. It's a mess so if you do sell delivered cars be careful with payment we've been burnt!!!!!

Still can't believe i've not been asked to do a workshop, pffffft, just joking, no it will be a great day, can't wait -
I've got my final month to go then i've finished, sadly 3 months in, 1 lead, no sales, not even a visit from an account manager, and the one that really bugs me, Arnold Clark banners showing whilst in our vehicle details page, a shame as they have the stuff in place, just need to remove Arnold Clark and advertise more and could be on to a winner

Car Dealer Conference 2015
williamblackshaw replied to Andy Entwistle's topic in General Dealer Chat
Don't worry Andy, my rates are reasonable and my diary is free, i'll give it some thoughts for who i would recommend, however i didn't feel the hot shots spots thing was worth it, just being honest Would be great if the DVLA could attend, share their visions for the the future, Robert Forrester perhaps? I know Mark Squires spoken at an event on aftersales recently, i think it would be good to pick a dealer who has grown well perhaps, as appose a franchise I think an app sector, apps that work well within the industry, also if google were coming, how to use google analytics to help sales, and best practice PPC / seo items Maybe our friends from Autotrader could pop along with their visions Stories from BEN charity i think are important also I best go to bed NIGHT -
Think insurance may differ for us all, but i am a strong believer in you get what you pay for. What i mean is, we find our local insurance provider competitive, but not the cheapest, however when ever we've had a concern (not claim, touch wood we won't) or needed help with something' i've been able to pop along to their office to discuss. I hate the thought of having a claim and having to ring call centers when there's an office along the road. Just my thoughts.

Mind one thing that bugs me with Motors.co.uk is the fact even when you drill right down into an individual car there is still a banner advertising a large dealer group in Scotland on my vehicle advert which I think is wrong, I understand a banner or home page take over at the initial search but it should stay there.
