How we worked it out
  • Each rep, by hand, each month: 30 new arrivals to post × 15 min, plus 25 price changes and 30 sold vehicles to update × 5 min, plus 400 renewals × 2 min = 1,525 min (25 h).
  • Renewals: Facebook pushes a listing back up when it's renewed, and lets you do it once a week, so about 4 times a month for each of your 100 vehicles.
  • With Dashboard Connect, each post, fix and renewal is one click (we count 1 min) or happens automatically, so it takes 0 to 485 min. On average each rep gets back 21 h a month.
  • For 2 reps, that's 43 h a month, worth $1,069 at $25 an hour.
  • In the first month, posting your whole lot of 100 vehicles on every rep's profile saves another 47 h, once.
  • Marketplace: 30 sales a month × 10% from Marketplace = 3 deals × $2,500 gross = $7,500 a month.
