Internet Sales – industry averages

Hello,

As a 22 year industry pro I took the past 4 years off from the auto biz. I have been lured back in by a great dealer with a big sales slide problem. I agreed to come in and help build his internet department. What I am hoping you can help me find is some stats that show some industry averages on the internet such as:

Lead to Appt ratio%

Appointment Kept %

Appointment to sale ratio

I know I need something to base projections on, and I need help gathering some number

Your time and assistance is appreciated.

Consumer Confusion
I just finished skimming a "Pro Carvana" thread on LinkedIn written by a gentleman that was not affiliated with the industry. His perspective was purely as a consumer. From the original post and the comments to follow, a few things jumped out at me. Consumers still dislike the... Consumer Confusion
CarGurus and selective rule enforcement
Like any UCM, I am always trying to get my cars out there, and make the best impression on as many sites as possible. Lately I've been getting killed by CarGurus and I've found out why. All of my cars have been pushed into "High Price" or "Over Priced" category because larger stores in the... […]
