Mark Dubis of CarFolks.com called me yesterday afternoon to talk about his new venture, it’s progress, and where he sees it heading in the future.
I have to admit, when I first heard of the concept of CarFolks.com, I didn’t know how such a focused social network had a chance of surviving in the cluttered space of Web 2.0. After speaking with Mark yesterday though, I think he’s onto something…
CarFolks.com is trying to bring some credibility to the average salesperson at a dealership in the same way that real estate agents are using the Internet to market themselves. If you are in the business of providing automotive services to consumers, CarFolks is a venue where you can setup a personal profile to let the world know who you are, where you work, and what you are all about. It’s a great way to create a microsite about yourself and a better way to market yourself in as a professional salesperson in the Automotive space. The best part about the service is these profiles are available to any and all salespeople for FREE!!! In less than 10 minutes, you can have a profile up and launched that will hopefully drive some traffic and customers your way in the future.
Mark forwarded me one of the first comments inputted by customers for a salesperson on CarFolks.com, check it out by following the link below:

Here is a snippet of information that Mark forwared me regarding CarFolks.com and their $1000 spiff for the month of March:
CarFolks the first automotive focused social network is live now and offering FREE
pages to all sales staff in dealerships across the country. Carfolks.com supports
salespeople and dealerships that are dedicated to the highest level of customer
satisfaction. To reinforce our belief in high standards of customer service,
Carfolks is offering $1,000 to the salesperson that has the highest CF Score on the

your customers to submit a review of you today!
Additionally CarFolks is built to Improve Search Engine Ranking
Did you know that every salesperson and service advisor with a profile on
Carfolks.com receives FREE placement on the major search engines like Google and
Yahoo? Your profile page is indexed on most search portals, giving you free
visibility when a local customer is searching for a dealership in your area. Make
sure you have a link to your Website and your direct (or cell) phone number in your
about me!
I think that with enough salespeople signed up, Mark and his team could be onto an idea that could help legitimize selling cars has a profession and really allow the best and brightest in our industry to standout. With this service being currently offered for FREE I recommend going to CarFolks.com today and creating your profile ASAP. Who knows where it will take you!!
