Run your own numbers

What could more visits mean?

Adjust the example to match your store. These are estimates, not measured results.

Your assumptions

Visits you believe your team could recover.

Share of those visits that become a sale.

Use your dealership's own average.

Your scenario, calculatedPotential additional monthly gross$12,500
5estimated sales / month$150,000annualized gross

Additional attended visits × close rate × average gross = monthly gross. Inputs are examples, not measured benchmarks. Count visits beyond your existing baseline. Annualized gross assumes the same results for 12 months. Gross is not net ROI: fees, setup and other expenses are excluded. Fractional sales represent an average.

Not ready today doesn’t mean never. Stay in touch with eligible buyers until their timing changes.

More chances to reconnect.

Earlier leads get another chance to reply. Adjust the assumptions to see how that adds up.

See the assumptions and monthly numbers

Each eligible lead has the same assumed monthly re-engagement rate. A re-engaged lead leaves the pool and is counted once. Each month, the exit rate removes older leads before another opportunity to reply. Real permissions, buying decisions, delivery, and staff actions change the outcome. Replies are not appointments or sales.

Getting started

A launch built around
your dealership.

We review your dealership’s workflow, approve an eligible lead group together, configure follow-up and team handoffs, and monitor performance after launch. Scope, connections, responsibilities, and pricing are agreed before outreach begins.

A few useful details

Before we talk.

Will it work with our CRM?

Start with an approved lead export, including supported VinSolutions exports. We review your format and workflow together. Automatic CRM write-back and live inventory feeds require separate setup; your CRM remains the source for final sales outcomes. Read the dealership lead follow-up guide.

What can our team control?

Adjust follow-up timing, tone, language, staff routing and handoff rules. Staff can pause AI, take over, or save a later check-in date. Replies can follow the customer’s language; scheduled templates support English, Spanish and French. See the appointment follow-up workflow.

How does it know the vehicle details?

It uses your supplied inventory, photos, equipment and specifications, plus available NHTSA VIN facts. Exact towing and payload ratings need vehicle-specific evidence. Missing details go to your team for verification.
