Its a shame really as we get all the top American cars as well as international cars like BMW, Vauxhall Audi etc........

When trying to decipher how many cars sold from how many clicks is irrelevant. Lets try a comparison, what exactly in a tv ad made me want to come to your dealership? It sounds silly right? When it comes down to it, as an owner in any business you want prospects to sell your products or services to. Now which form of advertising is the most effective? Take a look at the generation today, the internet isn't going anywhere and technology will continue to evolve. People are online that's where they need to be allocating advertising dollars to plain and simple. And as for as selling the cars, I can only promise to bring the horse to the water, now make him drink!

At 10:53am on January 17th, 2008, Mat said…: Sales is universal, if your a salesman your a salesman...but it is good to have the tools to be successfull in the car business. When we train our people we give them the tool box full of all the tools they need to be a superiour car sales person and it is up to them to open the tool box and use them. We do training classes all over the country for about 750 car dealerships, so there is a good possibility we have something close to you. What exactly do you do now in the corporate world of cars?

At 6:02am on January 11th, 2008, Mat said…: Thanks for asking. We do both. We train "green peas" and also have programs to improve existing sales people's performance. Where are you located and what do you do?
