Intro

[Drive and Carer]

Couldn't find a newbe thread (probably didn't look in the right place) so I'll post here.

I run the internet department for a Ford Lincoln Mercury dealer in Oklahoma. I am very interested in everything cars, but my main interest is in helping to turn the internet into the main source for car sales.

I believe that it is possible for dealerships to use their websites to actually complete the entire car deal. Currently, most use their sites strictly for lead generation to bring people to the dealership.

Some people just don't want to go to the dealership if they don't have to. They don't want to deal with a commissioned salesperson. They want to find their car, buy their car, and move on without complications or pressure.

Don't worry -- I won't try to sell anything here. My roles at the dealership do not include sales. I am developing our website to offer complete eCommerce solutions, but that's it. My new site will be up in mid-February.

I probably won't mention it again, as who really cares what I'm doing. It's not necessarily something for this forum.

Anyway, I'm glad to be here and I hope to contribute to the discussions.
