DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Awards Survey Still Open to Auto Dealers: Closes Dec. 31st

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

There is still time for auto dealers across the country to participate in DrivingSales?s Vendor Ratings Dealer Satisfaction Survey which helps determine the winners of the 2011 DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Awards to be presented in Las Vegas at the 2012 NADA Convention and Expo. The survey has been deployed to thousands of dealerships nationwide, and dealers have until December 31, 2011 to submit their ratings. The survey is open to verified auto dealership personnel only and can be found at http://www.drivingsales.com/surveys/vr/customer-management.


?We urge dealers across the country to participate in the survey to help their peers make the important decisions about where best to spend their digital marketing dollars in 2012,? said DrivingSales Founder and CEO Jared Hamilton. ?We think this is so important that we are offering participating dealers the opportunity to win a MacBook Air or a $ 100 Amazon cash card.?


The DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Awards measure dealer satisfaction with services provided by vendors in 2011 in over two dozen categories, including CRM, New Car Leads, Used Car Advertising, Accessories Sales, Chat Products, Websites, SEO, Social Media, and many more. Vendors who achieve the highest dealer satisfaction rankings will receive awards.


?More and more vendors and service providers are entering the market with innovative and highly effective tools and services to help auto dealers succeed. We believe the best of the best deserve recognition,? continued Hamilton. ?Our Vendor Ratings Awards have become a coveted accolade for vendors within the auto industry, and the peer-to-peer information and feedback on vendors, services, and tools stimulated by our survey makes for an invaluable dealer resource -- and it can only be found at DrivingSales.com.?


The Vendor Ratings Awards will be based on cumulative ratings at DrivingSales.com (as of December 31st, 2011), as well as the results of the Vendor Ratings survey which is open to all of (and only) the nation?s nearly 18,000 dealerships. All those who take the survey or submit a vendor rating are required to provide valid contact information so that DrivingSales can verify that the reviewers are actual dealership employees; however, the identity of the survey-takers remains anonymous to the public. The survey is currently deployed on DrivingSales.com at http://www.drivingsales.com/surveys/vr/customer-management. Now through December 31st, qualified dealers who submit a vendor rating will be entered into a weekly drawing to win a $ 100 Amazon gift card. At the close of the Vendor Ratings survey on December 31st, one lucky winner will be picked to receive a MacBook Air. Full contest rules and details are available online now at http://drivingsales.com/rate/contest.


DrivingSales Vendor Ratings Award winners will be showcased in the Q1 2012 issue of the DrivingSales Dealership Innovation Guide which, in addition to being distributed at the NADA Convention and Expo, is delivered to every new car dealership nationwide, as well as to the top 100 used car dealerships.
