Internet Auto Sales and Marketing Firm, Outsell LLC, Improved Bill Walsh Automotive Group’s Monthly Unit Sales By 394%
Rural Illinois domestic car dealer, Bill Walsh Automotive Group, closed more units than any month previously recorded.
Minneapolis, MN, July 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Outsell, LLC (www.outsell.com) — the fastest growing Internet auto sales and marketing company in America — helped move an Illinois car dealer from 17 unit sales-a-month to close to 90, in only 4 months, with its Total Internet Sales and Marketing solution.
Bill Walsh, Jr., Bill Walsh Automotive Group set a new land speed sales record, blowing by his original goal in no time. “I told Outsell that I wanted to hit 50 units per month by our one year anniversary,” said Walsh. “We hit 84 units in March 2007, just four months into our agreement with Outsell. Our new goal is 100 units-per-month by year end.”
Thanks to Outsell’s unique suite of services, Bill Walsh dealers:
- Went from selling 17 units in December 2006, to 84 units in March 2007- a 394% increase. They sold close to 90 units in May 2007.
- Increased their gross on vehicle unit sales.
- Experienced a 114% increase in net profit from the Internet department, beating their previous best month by 52%.
- Closed over 30% of gross leads.
- Increased unique visitors to BillWalsh.com by 77% and page views by 63%.
- Experienced a 70% increase in phone calls from the Bill Walsh website.
Walsh also credited Outsell with helping implement industry-leading best practices at his dealerships — eliminating the hassle of personnel turnover in his Internet sales department. To Walsh’s credit, he made several more significant changes that effected sales, such as:
- Providing consumers with Outsell’s “Internet Express Lane Service” that helps customers complete a purchase in 30 minutes.
- Hot-transfers of Outsell leads to dedicated Internet sales cell phones.
- Sending Manufacturer’s leads directly into the Outsell CRM system.
- Providing consumers with amenities, like a Starbucks, at the dealership- unusual for a domestic vehicle dealer.
“Outsell is committed to integrating and customizing processes to accommodate the specific needs of the dealer,” said Mike Wethington, CEO of Outsell. “It’s important that we not only meet our client’s needs, but exceed them. We leverage proven strategies and industry exclusive buying data to improve their business and close more sales.”
Understanding Internet marketing, as well as automotive sales, helped Outsell leverage the latest phone, e-mail and live chat services. It provided current customers and prospects with a seamless, consistent dealer experience from Internet to showroom. The Outsell process guarantees customer satisfaction and dealer control over the entire buying cycle.
