I am sure many of you have heard about the recent customer service debacle involving Comcast over the past week.

In case you aren’t familiar with what happened, a customer called into their service center attempting to cancel his service after almost a decade. He was transferred to a customer retention department and, unfortunately, was connected with a person who did the exact opposite. The customer’s patience during this call is amazing. The Comcast representative hounds him for almost 18 minutes (only 8 of which were recorded) repeatedly asking the same questions in his efforts to either keep the customer or understand why the customer was leaving. The customer eventually succeeded in…

This photo cracks me up because it looks as if the guy wants to make sure that you've noticed how good he looks in the reflection of the car!

What a stupid, selfish, conceited sounding question, right? "What do you think about me?"...

It's as cliche as it comes. The best defense is a good offense. The best offense is a good defense. We've heard it a dozen times in different contexts, not the least of which are sporting events like football. As strange as it may seem, the saying has its most profound meaning when it pertains to car dealers.

Everyone in the car business love to get conquest sales. Whether they're pulling a Chevy buyer over to their Ford store or if they're grabbing a customer from a different Ford store, we enjoy taking what once belonged to a competitor. It's like double-dipping. It's fun!

Unfortunately, if your competitors are on the ball, they're trying to do the same thing to you and there will be times that they accomplish their goals. For years, the only way to defend against this has been…

Just what does a 10% increase (in any KPI you choose) really mean to your dealership?

Have you heard the old saying “Yard by yard it's hard, but inch by inch is a cinch”?

If I were to go to any of your dealerships and walk into the GM’s office and say “Would you be interested in a 50% increase in Gross Profits?” what do you think he or she would say to me?

They would jump out of their chairs and yell out “Of course…how do I get it!”

And therein lies the problem with increasing performance or increasing profits 50% at a time. It is really hard to…

Actually, scratch that. 

This isn't just going to be about Bounce rate, but all of your dealer website's metrics in general.
