Launching our Dealer.Com site tomorrow....

Andrew,

Hope your reps had some time with the beta before it went live. When I launched my site, they almost had me in shackles and in the un-employment line. Hope you're smarter than me!

:lol:Why is it that vendors love doing that! Nobody will beta test it...they just put it live! My favorite is when they put something live at closing time and then go home for the day...

Andrew Carr discusses his dealership's migration from Reynolds to Dealer.com, sharing initial positive impressions while other users offer practical advice and warn of potential pitfalls like lead lifecycle issues and unexpected fees for tracking code installation. The thread reveals that while Dealer.com generally offers improvements over legacy platforms like Reynolds' outdated WebmakerX, users should thoroughly beta-test before launch, keep customers on their own site rather than linking to manufacturer pages, and negotiate technical service charges upfront. The key takeaway is that a successful platform switch requires adequate pre-launch testing, internal team buy-in, and careful attention to hidden costs and feature functionality.
