Ford buys leads from many sources. Do not sigh up for ANY 3rd party lead providers untill you test to see if thay are in fact selling leads to Ford. One of our ex new car lead providers tried to sell us their used leads and when I told the rep we al…

I am working in the Phoenix home office after travelling back from Atlanta last night, and when I went to see what was happening at our Automotive Digital Marketing community site, I saw you had recently joined.

It is great to see yet another automotive professional and industry colleague like yourself join the ADM community... When I logged in to ADM a moment ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see that we are now up to 557 automotive sales and marketing professionals who have joined the ADM Community!

Amazing support from an amazing industry... Made my day worth the aggravation of cross country travel, and a guy sitting next to me for over 4 hours who kept sticking his elbows into my ribs!

Thanks for helping us get to this critical mass of membership. I am thrilled and delighted to see that you have joined our community... Welcome and THANK YOU!

We are looking forward to any best practices, guidance, tactics, files, photos and videos you are willing to share with us.

Also, you have full access to your very own blog web site within this community, so feel free to get into the swing of things and use this community as a means of sharing with associates, customers, clients and friends!
