Dear Member,
I recently came across an article from Ken Krogue who asks the question: 'Imagine if I walked into a shoe store and asked to fit a pair of shoes, and the assistant only replied to me the next day?'
“Crazy!” you would say, but it happens in our industry (as it does in others for that matter).  The expectation from customers today is to receive an answer within 30 minutes, and if they don’t, they simply go elsewhere. Read more about how customers expect dealerships to respond to Internet queries in our article in this issue on making the most of Internet leads.

We also bring you topical industry happenings and news from our dealers in this issue.

All the best,

Pieter Wessels
CEO IDA Group of Companies
