Rule: Only post vehicles the dashboard marks POST TODAY or BOOST TODAY. Do not waste time posting TEST or SKIP vehicles.
Goal: Keep listings active. Facebook buries old posts. Repost every 3–5 days on anything that hasn't sold.
Groups multiply reach for free. A vehicle posted to Marketplace + 3 groups gets 3–4× more eyes.
Rule: Always respond by text first, not a call. Buyers on Marketplace expect text. A cold call kills the lead.
"Hey [name], yes it's still available. What's your schedule like this week? I can have it ready for you."
"The price is firm online but come take a look — if there's anything we missed we'll talk about it in person."
"Hey [name], just checking in — still interested in the [year] [model]? It's had a lot of interest this week."
Goal: Facebook Marketplace is used to generate initial interest and start conversations with buyers. Keep the listing focused on the vehicle itself to maximize inbound messages and capture leads early.
Goal: 30 minutes of posting in the morning generates most of your leads. The rest is follow-up.
