Today's comic

The Daily Dial

A comic strip starring Dee, Izzy, Sam and Cece, one Monster for each DISC style. They work the same BDC you do. You've met all four.

Comic: A lead from 2019 suddenly replies: "Still have that car?" Seven years later? Bold. Tuesday? A GHOST LEAD! Who ARE you?! I love this! Welcome back. No rush. We'll find you something. Per the CRM: that car sold in 2019. Twice.

Heartbeat Labs measures how dealerships talk to customers, for automakers, dealer groups and the trainers who coach them. After years of mystery shops, one thing is obvious: the BDC is the heart of the dealership, and almost nobody builds anything for the people in it. So we did. No catch, no sales calls, no "quick demo." Just goodies.
