Automotive advertising agencies and auto dealers called-in questions in a problem/solution format. Ron Absher, a senior manager at an auto dealership in Maryland and a regular visitor to AdAgencyOnline.net, summed up his question as follows, “I went to the seminar that eBay Motors had here in DC last month and I am having a little success. I worked for about a week getting the template down that we are now using then started posting cars. We have sold 3 or 4 since the first but have taken deposits on 6 more to be delivered.
I am using eBay as a lead generator for the bidders before the auction closes and after. I am looking for Word tracks that I can teach my people to use as a guide; I am looking for what the big Ebay dealers do to be successful… Texas_Direct comes to mind…. I am about to hire a couple of dedicated salespeople to handle Ebay only. Yes I did drink all COOLAID at the meeting. Setting up the salesperson’s processes is what I am looking for, of course I have my own ideas but I am looking to emulate the Ebay Successes!!!â€
William “Tony†Selph, a General manager at an auto dealership in Bessemer Alabama, followed Ron with his questions to Philip Zelinger during the show, “I don’t know much about eBay Motors, but when I found out you were involved I knew we were on the right track. Here are a few of my questions:
#1 As a small independent dealer, what is the most cost effective way to set up an eBay operation.
#2 Can & how do I compete with the big boys? Will the competitive playing field be level?
#3 My goal is to sale 30+ cars monthly within 3 to 4 months of my eBay start up. 1st, are my expectations low/high keeping in mind I have no budget for the hiring of a consultant to set this up (the 1st thing I would have done during my years in larger franchise stores.
#4 How/who do I contact to get started TODAY??
These questions and others like them were answered by Clayton and Philip with real world examples that supported their confidence in eBay Motors to solve these common concerns.
