Dealers need to manage these sales prospects more effectively," says Mr Smith."We believe that conversion rates for leads registered between 7pm and 10pm are higher than at any other point during the day.FlexiForce is specialized in manufacturing and distribution of components
for
overhead doors with a strong position in R&D, distribution and a solid
customer
base.This is the finding of automotive web marketing firm, GForces, which finds that more than half of all visits to dealer websites take place when the systems are shut down."I ran out of space and was always hunting for tools," Ellis said. "I was tired of digging through a toolbox."
