In the competitive world of car dealerships, getting leads is just the beginning. The real magic happens when you follow up with those leads!

But did you know that how and when you follow up can make a HUGE difference? Let’s talk about the importance of lead follow-up and how Smart AI can help you do it better.

Why Follow-Up is Key

First things first, let’s talk about why lead follow-up matters. Studies show that 80% of sales require five follow-ups after the initial contact, but most salespeople give up after just one or two attempts.

That’s a big mistake! If you’re not following up, you’re likely missing out on a ton of sales opportunities.

Think about it: customers often need time to think about their options. By following up, you remind them that you’re there to help. The key is to have a plan and use the right timing!

Timing is Everything

So, how do you know when to follow up? The timing of your follow-up can make a huge difference in whether or not you convert that lead into a sale. Here are a few stats to consider:

• 50% of customers prefer to receive a follow-up call within 5 minutes of their inquiry.

• Following up within the first hour can increase your chances of making a sale by seven times!

• Sending a follow-up message within 24 hours keeps your dealership fresh in the customer’s mind.

Using Smart AI can help you schedule those follow-ups perfectly so you don’t miss out!
