jeff.kershner Internet Sales Manager getting his feet wet!

Posted by Jeff Kershner  |   Wednesday, May 10, 2006   |   Posted in Opinions & Advice

Ever since I started this website/blog I have had the opportunity to meet some great people in this business. I often receive several emails a week from ISM’s just getting their feet wet. Every now and then you meet someone that really sticks out from the rest of the crowd. Several weeks ago I had the opportunity to speak with Jake Wirth, ISM for a smaller Suzuki dealer in Indiana. Jake was just getting started at the dealer as their new Internet sales manager, we were talking about everything from Dealer websites to follow-up process to CRM/ ILM software.

Jake put his thoughts and some of his beginning experiences on paper and asked me to share it on DealerRefresh.

jeff.kershner Can’t we just get along?

Wow…some companies are ruthless. I was doing a general search on Google for “websites for auto dealers” and found this Sponsored Link that reads like this..

www.bzrecovery.com – Disappointed? Too Expensive? Done? Call for affordable new websites!.

OUCH! This ad is obviously going after BZ Results and targeting dealers that use BZ.

The link took me to MJMI. "Building America’s Best Dealership Websites" seems to be their tag line. Sort of a strong statement if you ask me. I don’t know though, I’ve never worked with or used any of their products. Their sites look “ok” and their ILM/CRM is nothing short of BZ Buzztrak.

I don’t really have an opinion on this but found it interesting how aggressive some of these dealer website site companies are.
