It was great to be included in this! I've gained an incredible education throughout my career by attaining knowledge from my fellow social media professionals. It was great for me to give back a little of what I have learned, especially to the auto…

Megan E. Bucher replied to Alex Andreus's discussion 'Need to Boost my internet and BDC departments'

Hi Alex! Well, I'd be a fool not to recommend myself. I built and ran a BDC for a 5 store dealer group for 5 years, and accounted for a 1/3 of that group's sales (just trackable). Right now, I'm freelancing in social media in other fields to add to…

My intent wasn't to preach to anyone. Just to be part of the discussion. My break from the car business has taught me a lot. I'm in the career I'm in because I like to keep learning...it's always changing. I came back to comment here to share with a…

Megan E. Bucher commented on Todd Smith's blog post 'Are You Driving People Away From Your Website?'

@ Stan...well said. @ Ken...'a spade a spade?' Are we in middle school? Maybe you should look into MySpace. For the naysayers, to me this is typical of the attitude dealers have. Put the badges on your home page, or be left behind. That's just the w…

Megan E. Bucher commented on Todd Smith's blog post 'Are You Driving People Away From Your Website?'

All good points...but I don't think your social media sites are having trouble converting your prospects into customers. I think the problem lies in the lack of an efficient and effective way to account for how many are becoming customers. All of th…

Great post, Todd! I'm sorry you've been misunderstood here...I mean come one...who would come out and say that social media is irrelevant...that's silly talk and not what you intended I'm sure. (Sadly, there are some that still need convincing that…

Upon the recent elimination of my position in these tough times, I have decided to refocus my efforts in consulting dealers that need help with lucrative Internet Processes.
When I'm not working I'm either with my family or out on the road enjoying my sport...running.

The Hardest Part...

Hi ADM! Sorry it's been so long since I've been an active member!

I've been a busy little bee in the Social Media scene, and having a lot of fun being involved in many different facets of it.
I'd love to help anyone wiht my new found knowledge that needs an outside perspective from the car biz. I have found that having both is quite beneficial and eye-opening.
Good luck to all of you in 2010!

Here's my latest entry from my blog...… Continue

It's a New Dawn, it's a New Day...

This might just be the most boring week of my life, and you may fall asleep within the first few phrases.

I figured that the effect of the recent stature of the auto business would eventually effect me beyond my drastic pay cuts as of late, and now it has. My position as Business Development and Internet Manager of the Kasper Auto Group was eliminated last week. The position/department that I have built and toiled over for the last several years of my life with my dedicated staff is no longer.… Continue

GM Internet Lead Alert

I will follow this post up with more information as I learn it, but I wanted to pass this information on and see if this has happened to anyone else lately.

I discovered a huge break in the line of communication this week. I received a report this week stating that we've not responded to any of our GM Internet leads in the past 2 week. The same report sent the week prior rated us a top responder. It seems to flip flop, but our process is hasn't. As I'm digging to find out why this is happening,… Continue

What If It's Not Your Call? A Twitter With Questions...

With the immenent closing of many competing dealerhships accross the nation, this question seems appropriate: "What do you do when it's not your call?" As in, when it's not your decison to make, what's the best way to influence the outcome? Who's ear to you speak to? How do you make sure you're represented fairly? I know there are many dealers that feel they got the short end of the stick in the form of a letter stating they were out of business.

I try to apply things in a downscaled ver… Continue
