Exceeding sales quotas can be difficult at the best of times. In the current economic situation, it can be more than problematic; it can seem downright impossible. How are dealerships to find the consumers they need? How do you ensure that you have the best access to those in the subprime market, those who need a car but cannot getfinancing through many lenders? These consumers are the best option for your marketing needs. Special finance auto leads can dramatically increase your sales, blowing past your quotas in a very short time.

What are special finance auto leads? In short, they are exactly what they sound like. These are lists of consumers who fall into the subprime category; those who need special financing to attain the automobile they require. More and more consumers fall into this category, as the credit crunch continues to reduce their credit ratings. It has become quite difficult for those with less-than sterling credit to get an auto loan of any size. Prescreened subprime auto leads let you access this growing base of consumers.

How do you use special finance auto leads? Any number of methods can be employed to market to these consumers. However, the marketing methods that you have available will depend on the information included in the auto lead list. The more comprehensive the list, the better you will be able to market to the consumer, in a variety of ways. For instance, if the list includes full contact information, you can market through snail mail and email. You can even market over the phone. It is essential that you choose a list of leads that contains full contact information in order to provide yourself with the most ways in which to market.

How exclusive are these leads? Are they being provided to other dealerships, as well? Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous providers that do duplicate lists and sell the same information to multiple dealers. However, if you research the list provider thoroughly, you can bypass this obstacle. Make sure that the provider guarantees that the list is exclusive to your dealership.

How are the lists generated? Obviously, marketing through lists of consumers outside of your area is a waste of marketingmoney. Make sure that the list is generated based on your dealership's zip code. You can also include the zip codes of surrounding areas for more comprehensive coverage. The key is to make sure that the consumers to whom you are marketing are able to visit the dealership. Marketing to those outside your local area is pointless. Make sure that the list provider utilizes your zip code when generating special finance auto leads.

As you can see, auto leads hold great potential for your dealership's marketing and sales. Without these lists, you face the specter of falling below your sales quotas on a regular basis. Make the smart choice and give your dealership the boost it needs to be successful and blow those quotas away.
