Hey hes looking more so for a source for customers. there’s not a lot of foot traffic but another salesperson there sells at least 30 cars a month. obviously he doesn’t want to help him bc of “competition” or whatever so we’ve been looking into it ourselves

More details please, location? What kind of car dealer? What size dealer? Give us as much as you can.

we’re in New York… i don’t use reddit a lot so i’m sketched out about giving exact details… it’s a hyundai dealership with tons of used vehicle cars. not a lot of foot traffic but looking for sources online to find customers. definitely possible to get loads of sales bc another salesperson there does 30+ cars a month.

Maybe tell him about this sub. There's a ton of different things that can be suggested but without knowing more about the store its hard to know what advice would be useful for your friends situation.

He can do a few things but the layout of the store is a pretty big part of it. Whats the set up for the store, does it have a BDC? does he have access to internet leads or is he only touching foot traffic? Someone else asked but what about the manufactuer(Honda, Toyota, Hyundai,etc). How busy is the service dept(appts per day).
