As #cardealers re-opened their showrooms on Monday we saw the highest day for new car leads since we launched the new car platform. To find out more about #advertising your #newcars with us, email brandnew@autotrader.co.uk https://t.co/ke5xKYmGME
That's it for this week's webinar. Thanks to our guest @mikejonesase for joining us once again and be sure to register for next week's webinar at https://t.co/NiN0Kwzkit https://t.co/9pwRYEnOJa
Question for @MarcThornboroug - How can I manage sales in the current scenario?
Now over to Q&A - first question around what happens if I include admin prices in the full advertised price?
Update on the self-employed scheme – applications for a second grant to open in August. Allows you to claim 70% of average monthly trading profits, capped at £6,570
Great summary from @ASE_Global on what government support is currently available https://t.co/dg4Ge6nVi7
Delighted to welcome @mikejonesase from @ASE_Global back to provide the latest update on the #furlough scheme and #selfemployed income support scheme
When it comes to where to source your stock - @MarcThornboroug highlights that @dealerauction1 is offering a free 3-month subscription for new customers (even if you've had a free trial before). Request a call back and one of our account managers will get in touch to help you!
We've once again dusted off @MarcThornboroug to talk about restocking your forecourt to ensure you are #RetailReady
Great advice from @stuart_trader - be sure to reorganise your back end to cope with the surge in leads. A missed call could be a missed sale!
