Tips & Hints
Getting Started
Password:
Use at least eight characters in your LeaseTrader password, including numbers, upper and lower case letters.
DO NOT give out your password. Any type of fraudulent activity will be treated very seriously by LeaseTrader, possibly resulting in criminal prosecution.
Our most successful dealers find that high-speed Internet access (broadband) is essential to efficiently list and track their inventory on LeaseTrader.com.
High-speed examples include: Cable, DSL and Satellite. Contact your local phone or cable company for more information.
Creating a Vehicle Listing
Honesty and full disclosure lead to more sales and greater profits.
Buyers who feel confident they're seeing the true condition of a vehicle buy more, pay more and tend to be more satisfied with their vehicle purchase.
Vehicle Photography
Photographs are a very important element of any LeaseTrader listing — they create need and emotions for every online customer browsing the vehicles on your inventory.
You'll want the vehicle to look its best before photographing it. Wash it. Wax it. Vacuum it. Polish the chrome. Wipe down the dash, seats and other surfaces.
When shooting dents and dings, place a ruler or dollar bill next to the flaw to provide perspective on the size of the damage.
Vehicle Pricing
A good Lease Payment should be low enough that it attracts several potential buyers, who will pick your over another dealer.
Set low Lease Payment prices, as they drive activity.
Terms of Sale
Spelling out your terms, payment and inspection policies will increase buyers confidence, minimize negative feedback and eliminate misunderstandings — before and after the sale.
No matter how you handle vehicle delivery, including this information tells potential customers you're an experienced, professional LeaseTrader seller.
Managing a Listing
LeaseTrader top sellers try to schedule time each day to check their listings and emails.
LeaseTrader top sellers track price and conversion trends on the site to establish a strategy for listing their inventory on LeaseTrader.com.
LeaseTrader top sellers communicate with buyers throughout the entire process to pre-empt problems, to up-sell and to build buyer trust.
In addition to verifying buyer interest, you'll find that customer contact also helps cultivate leads, generates more sales at higher margins and up-sells products such as service agreements and financing options.
Ending a Listing
When a transaction is complete, you can leave feedback that is positive, negative or neutral for your trading partner, depending upon the experience.
