2. THE COMPETITION

      ANSWER: ProResponse has a support team with over 40 years of combined automotive and industry experience. ProResponse consultants are in constant contact with clients, providing guidance and hands-on training whenever needed.

   3. Can I do data mining and target marketing with ProResponse?

      ANSWER: Absolutely! Our web-enabled services give you the ability to access prospect and customer information with a click of a mouse. You can reach your customer base before your competitors have even thought about it.

4. DATA SECURITY
   
   
   1. I am concerned about the security of my data. When a salesperson leaves, can the database be destroyed or stolen by that sales person?

      ANSWER: No. All data belongs to the dealership and no salesperson has download access. When we are notified that a salesperson has left your dealership, they are immediately denied access to the system, and all of his/her prospects and customers are immediately re-assigned to a new or existing salesperson of your designation. In addition to this, whether it is dealing with a terminated employee, a direct mail campaign, or another scenario - regardless of the reason for the request - we always require a manager's or authorized employee's written approval in order to release customer lists or data.

   2. I am concerned about my customer information getting into others hands, intentionally or accidentally. What safeguards and assurances do I have?

      ANSWER: Your data is never shared or released to anyone without your permission. Every Monday your data is backed up onto disk and stored off-site in a lock box at a secure location. We do not release your customer data to anyone!
