- I am the Internet Sales / BDC Director at John Marazzi Nissan, formerly Naples Nissan. I accepted this position in September 2008 after 7 years at Ft. Myers Toyota in Fort Myers, Florida where I managed the Internet Sales Department from a one man show and 20 cars a month up to a staff of nine and 130 plus sales per month.
Our G.M. John Marazzi left after 17 years and bought Naples Nissan and as is usually true, good people follow a true leader.
This store was selling around 25-30 vehicles a month. I have installed the right process, people and promotion so that 100 - 150 vehicles per month will be a reality.
We have grown this department to 50-54 cars a month since January 2009 in the worst car market in history. In July 2009 wour Internet Department sold 72 New and Used Vehicles and accouned for 38% of the Dealerships total sold units. August 14th we are tracking 86!
We have eliminated all but one third party lead provider and capitalize on "First Party Leads" converted on our web site.
We are Search Conquest Driven and maximize every opportunity with strong processes and the right people.

I See the Future … It’s Electric by John Marazzi
I See the Future … It’s ElectricI’ve been around the car business my whole life. At the age of twelve I was washing cars. At fifteen, I was a porter and at seventeen, I became a salesperson. Through the years, I’ve seen plenty of changes. I saw interest rates in 1982 at 18% and recent rates at 0%. I saw gas fluctuate from two dollars a gallon to over four and back to two dollars quicker than a summer break. Now we witness… Continue

Up Your Sale
Hey Gang,
Check out this site. It is geared toward the sales persons perspective. Not necessarily Internet. I think it has potential and is currently being under untilized. We should really be reaching out in this current climate. Whether or not we're competitors, now is the time to share whats working and what's not. Let's all be standing when we reach the other side of this thing.

Ryan Gerardi said… - Rob here is the link to register for Thursday's webinar on getting set up with the coupon software - http://autoburstweb.com/category/events/. I scheduled it yesterday for another List Builder customer and then realized you need to get set up too. This webinar series will recur monthly like the AC Video one, but will be more specific to List Builder stuff, so once registered you will not have to register again for upcoming List Builder webinars. Hope you can make it.

- You too, Rob. I spoke to Ralph and he said, while the turnout wasn't as big as usual (a couple hundred), they feel it was their best webinar yet. I didn't expect a monstrous turnout considering so many dealers are fearful of video. I'll call you in the near future so we can speak directly.

- Rob,
Next week we are running a webinar for our List Builder product. Would be great if you can make it. It's on Wed at 11:30. You can register for it on the BlogPro site.
List Builder is the next step in using your blog. Takes it from being a just a noise filter and referral site to a lead-generating machine.
I hope you can attend. Please let your friends know about it, online and off.
