Can social media drive ACTUAL leads for auto dealerships? We think seeing is believing. Most dealerships have heard how many prospects are talking about buying a new car online each day, but it's difficult to grasp large, intangible statistics. In this case study, we'll watch social conversations taking place online in real-time and break down how dealerships can translate social interactions into leads - and leads into sales. In this case study presented at the 17th Digital Dealer Conference in Las Vegas, SocialAutoLeads.com founder Matthew Russo analyzes the impact this approach had on a single Ford dealership over the past 6 months.
