In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, every lead counts. Your dealership invests time and money into marketing campaigns to attract potential customers –  but what happens when the phone rings and no one answers?  Missed calls are a significant problem for dealerships, and they represent far more than just a minor inconvenience. They are lost opportunities with a very real cost attached.

The Stats Don't Lie

• The average dealership misses 20% of their incoming calls.
• Call-in leads convert at 2.5x higher rates than internet leads.
• Customers expect fast responses – delays as short as a few minutes drastically reduce the likelihood of a sale.

Let's break down what this means for your bottom line. Imagine your dealership receives 100 calls a month. If you're missing 20% of those calls, that's 20 potential sales slipping through your fingers. Even with a conservative conversion rate, those missed calls could represent tens of thousands of rands in unrealised gross profit over the course of a single month.

But it's not just about the lost sale...

Missed calls have a ripple effect that damages your dealership in the long run:

• Poor Customer Experience: Customers today demand quick and convenient service. Every missed call is a potential customer left feeling frustrated and ignored.
• Damaged Reputation: In a world of online reviews, a reputation for being unresponsive can spread quickly and harm your ability to attract new business.
• Missed Feedback: Every call, even if unsuccessful, is an opportunity to gain valuable insights into customer needs and pain points. Missing that call means missing out on improving your sales process.

The Solution: Automating the callback of all Missed Calls

Missed calls don't have to be an inevitable part of doing business. By investing in the automation of missed call callbacks, you can transform missed calls into captured leads and increased sales. Here's what this offers:

• Automated Callbacks: Eliminate missed leads with immediate callbacks, connecting with prospects while their interest is still high.
• Extensive Call Data: Gain insight into your call data – caller details, lead sources, length of calls – to make data-driven improvements to your sales processes.
• Call Recordings: Recording the interaction your sales team has with prospective buyers will allow you to train and develop each individual sales executive to become better at selling.

The bottom line: By taking a proactive approach to automating the callback of all missed callers into your dealer, you'll improve customer experience, increase lead conversion, and drive up sales.
