Have you downloaded RoboKiller yet? Unwanted calls are at an all time high and it seems to be getting worse. There are currently 1.2 million numbers in the database that get blocked. And sadly for some of you dealers, you're on that list. I know this because I have the app installed and I've seen a few dealers try calling me and they go right to block.

Probably worth investigating if your dealership is on the list. And also, be careful as to how many phone calls you place to those new prospects.
 
Good thread idea :thumbup:

My dad swears by RoboKiller. I use YouMail and don't answer anything I don't know. YouMail gives the added benefit of transcribing voicemails and giving you different voicemail messages for recognized phone numbers.

@Jeff Kershner turned me on to YouMail. He can say a lot more about it as a long-time user.
