What is your lead follow-up strategy?
Why do buyers reach out but not end up buying? Were they bad leads, or is it because of your lead follow-up strategy and tools used? Let's look at the common ones used at dealerships today and why they fail.
Templated automation
Are you using templated, time-bound automation for your lead follow-ups? It doesn’t help much. You end up sending cookie-cutter responses just through a machine with no intelligence and, therefore, unable to engage your prospects!
Conversational AI and texting strategy
Conversational AI or texting is good for low-funnel buyers, but most lost leads are not. When your lead does not want to have a “conversation,” is not yet ready to buy, or is not engaged with your messages, there is not much that conversational AI or text tools can do.
Increase BDC or sales staff
Follow-up staff can build surface level relationships and engage ready-to-buy buyers. But they tend to be process driven, inconsistent, have specific working hours that limit their influence, and don’t know enough about buyers to engage each lead individually.
