New - I mean Really Old lead source for CRM

[ErikJonker]

I don't believe that I have ever received a MAIL LEAD !!!

We may have to rework the CRM to accept this new..I mean really Old Lead Source....

Wow - talk about taking the long way around. I would always grab a couple of these on every other visit to the fax machine back in the day. Most found their way into the trash can.

Years ago there was an article on Edmunds (or any one of the many vehicle research websites) - "How to Negotiate and Buy a New Car" or something like that. One of the more recommended ways was to use the supplied template/letter with your requests and then fax to no less than 5 OEM dealers.

This dude thought he had a good idea, went back even further in time and sent it by traditional mail.

How did it arrive...Pigeon or Horse?

15 years later and they're "reluctantly" saying goodbye to their 15 year old Minivan.

I would totally respond back the same way.

Now they bulk send an email to every GM of every [MAKE] store in their area and say, "The first dealer to match the price of ________" or "I will tender all replies and the lowest cash price will get my business".

We do all price quotes by smoke signal.

And somehow, before that deal is over, it will find a way to be sourced in the CRM as "Drive By".

No kidding lol!

I'm guessing Bluetooth isn't a required option?
