Courtesy has an Internet Department… Does it have Integrated Marketing? “ Consumers are flocking to the Internet to initiate car buying, with 27% requesting a price quote from a dealer online. But the flood of 1.8 million leads monthly results in just a trickle of 165,000 sales, and an appalling lack of control means that this potentially profitable channel instead costs OEMs and dealers hundreds of dollars per vehicle it sells. Automakers and dealers must tighten lead management processes and merge online leads into their overall marketing strategies to boost sales and drive down costs.” - Mark Dixon Bünger; Forrester Research, 6/14/2005

But the flood of 1.8 million leads monthly results in just a trickle of 165,000 sales, and an appalling lack of control means that this potentially profitable channel instead costs OEMs and dealers hundreds of dollars per vehicle it sells. Automakers and dealers must tighten lead management processes and merge online leads into their overall marketing strategies to boost sales and drive down costs.” - Mark Dixon Bünger; Forrester Research, 6/14/2005
