I have scaled back my auto industry interest and I am now focusing heavier on smaller business. They will at least listen to you without telling you some BS story like they have internet marketing all figured out.

I only have an interest in helping a dealership that is willing to change at this point. You either see the light now or you will be in the dark forever!

A lot of managers and dealer principles need to get over themselves before they are out of business!

I am out here on the West Coast visiting Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, etc. and about 15 minutes ago I logged in to ADM to be pleasantly surprised to see that we are now at 349 members who have joined the ADM Community!

I'm glad to hear you visited the site, www.ileadcontrol.com. We're extremely excited about bringing this service to the market. While we serve a very small niche in the industry, our service is nothing if not cutting edge.

In short, we offer a reporting feature for the duplicate leads every internet department in the country receives on a monthly basis. With our reports, a dealer is able to run a report with 4 mouse clicks showing all the "dupes" with date and time stamps, as well as, a summary of the cost savings. This allows dealers to reduce the amount of their bill by this amount rather than asking for credit that may or may not come.

Thanks again, and you can expect to hear from me tomorrow so I can walk you through the program. If anyone else is interested in trialling the program, please don't hesitate to contact me at 310.795.0733.

At 9:20am on January 17, 2008, Philip Zelinger said…: Hi Chris,

I would like to schedule some time to review your products. I briefly visited your site and anything that will help me - help me dealer clients - evaluate their relative R.O.I. is of interest.

Please call me at my office - 561-962-2738 - or reply in this forum so we can discuss shared opportunities for our clients.
