Invalid Statuses (Can be found under Lead Group Invalid Leads… These are under
Invalid totals and they do not show up in your report percentages.)
 Invalid; (False Lead) Use ONLY when there is either a BAD EMAIL ADDRESS or a
non-functioning BAD PHONE NUMBER that prevents us from working the lead.
 Duplicate Lead; Only to be used when another lead from the same customer has been
received WITHIN PREVIOUS 30 DAYS of the current lead’s arrival. User must mark
the original lead’s “source” in a Duplicate Lead’s notes section.

 Junk Email; Advertisement, Solicitations from people trying to sell something to the

 Promo Entry, is for promotional ads with giveaways, such as “Win $500 Worth of

an invalid status, that will not affect your closing percentages on your end of month
reports or clutter your working left list. Courtesy Chevrolet has a separate
autoresponder made for it, so they won't get the standard "Thank you for your purchase
request". We also have set-up a few automails, using the status Promo Entry to
schedule them, so these customers will receive dealership contacts over time.
Scheduled Follow-Up Events; Can be found under the appointment tab/menu…

Management Policies for BDC and Internet Sales Teams
BDC Rules of Engagement regarding Internet Leads:
 If lead is directly routed to a BDC Customer Service Representative, then it must
be responded to with an appropriate email response to the customer PRIOR to making a
phone call to the customer. The email response must be executed within 15 minutes of
the lead’s arrival, followed up IMMEDIATELY by a phone call to schedule a Demo
Appointment.
 If lead is routed to an Internet Sales Specialist, then the CSR in the BDC who is
assigned to assist the ISS in following up MUST confirm with the ISS or the Internet
Sales Manager BEFORE making an attempted contact with that customer. If there is a
note in NetTrack that says “Needs BDC cobntact” then the CSR does not need to
confirm that it is OK to contact that customer.
 BDC staff does not change the status of a New Internet Sales Team Lead until after
an Internet Sales Specialist has sent an email containing a 4 car quote. When working
on leads previously assigned to an Internet Sales Specialist, a BDC Customer Service
Representative must enter their name into the NetTrack CDR field.
 Dormant Leads are fair game, and can be contacted by any CSR in the BDC at any
time that a lead remains in Dormant status.
 Customer Service Representatives in the BDC that work Dormant or any other
status Internet Lead that was originally assigned to an ISS must ONLY put their
name in the CDR field, and must never change the original salesperson’s name. A
Salesperson’s name in NetTrack must ONLY be changed by an authorized
manager.
