  1. I’m the Regional Manager for ClickDealer, Dragon2000 and Autosales would be good options depending on your needs, budget and future plans for the business. ClickDealer also has a solution.
  2. I work with over 300 independent used car dealers in the South and stock turn varies. 8 x per year would be considered the industry average. Depending on margins I’ve seen higher and lower ratios but 24 x per year is unbelievable.
  3. I've passed your pitch many times and you have some great cars and the Basildon Car Sales brand stands out. You say 'the phone is not ringing' but have you done an audit of search traffic to your website? How much traffic does Google send to your website? Is there a correlation between the drop in phone calls and search traffic to your website? If you're getting healthy search traffic to your website but no calls it would suggest there's a problem with the website. Developing an audience on Facebook would be a idea, but that's a medium/long term strategy. Small point, but there is a typo on your website home page Lender! Cheers. Gary.
  4. That's great, thanks for sharing. Does organic search traffic from Google rank higher than Referral/Paid search traffic?
  5. Guys, hope you don't mind me jumping in on this topic. I'm not a dealer, but a supplier to the industry. I visit many dealers across the south and the feedback I'm getting is trade has gone quite. Besides number of units sold does anyone track/measure traffic to their websites using Google Analytics or WebMaster? Is there a correlation between the amount of organic (keyword/phrases) search traffic and sales? Do referrals/paid (AutoTrader, eBay) search generate the more traffic? Here's to a busy June!
  6. Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and I hope you don't mind me jumping in. I think telephone numbers and emails is too much information, but knowing a bit more about members would be useful. Visibility and transparency creates trust, which can only be a good thing?
