Congratulations to Dealer.com & Uncle Joe

Wow!.. Usedcarking.com is now running on Dealer.com??

Whoever did that site had their thinking cap on. Love how the navigation is clear and something you can kind of "dominate". Very original, well advertised, and really feels like a sales site.

This is the best dealer website I've seen to date. Congratulations DDC and Sun team. I'm very impressed.

Surprised to say this, but that's pretty impressive from Dealer.com! Their are getting a lot better with their customization, and starting to embrace the newer design methods.. That's a big step up from the sites I've been seeing from them for a long time.

I wonder how conversions will do on that website coming from the old platform? Already miss Joe's awesome sidebar feature with the vehicle features highlighted.. But love how the contact form on the right sidebar came out, looks great.
 
My fear is that Joe will become scarce on DealerRefresh. I haven't been insulted by Quinn in at least a month.

I hope not.. Joe posts excellent advice on here and has been a huge help in my own personal growth. I remember Tom White Jr.'s had a lot of great information in his posts too, but I haven't seen him here in forever after the Driving Sales switch..

It shouldn't be surprising that a great company can do great things. Many companies can, not just DDC. What is screwed up about the automotive biz is that dealers pay $10,000 for a one time mailer but only want to pay $599/month for a website. No wonder they get s*it in a can...

When dealers start asking:

I want you to build me a website that indexes better, that produces more leads, the works better for my customers rather than 'can you do it for $50 less?', then you will see lots of great things happen online.

The reason why usedcarking sells 700 cars a month is in part because people like Joe had a vision long time ago that the money from the mailer should go into digital.
 
So everyone knows - we posted this announcement over on the Blog since I know some of you forget that we have a blog :)


Joe Pistell has joined the vendor side of the car business

Joe - again, CONGRATULATIONS!!

"I'm not sure how DDC is going to contain you and your passion. They may need to hire you an assistant some sort.
There are times when I feel like DealerRefresh has become the breeding grounds for future DDC employees. I'm thinking we start invoicing for headhunting services. Geesh. "
