TORRANCE, Calif. — On Thursday, February 16, 2017, at 11:00 PT/2:00 p.m. ET, Podium will host a free webinar “7 Quick ways to drive purchase decisions with online reviews,” with Director of Automotive Sales Dan Wright and Vice President of Marketing Nico Dato.

We all know that selling cars is a competitive business, so standing out among your peers can be difficult. You spend thousands of dollars on advertising and billboards. But what happens when they research you online? If you have a bad rating, odds are they’ll keep looking because a vast majority of car buyers now trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. But reviews do more than just enhance your online reputation. They can also help you get noticed on sites like Google, Cars.com, DealerRater, and Edmunds and drive purchase decisions from customers.
