Where dealership leads get lost
Requests arrive during peaks and outside staffed hours. If the customer only receives an acknowledgement and sales must rebuild context the next day, intent quickly cools.
Good lead management starts with response speed but requires vehicle, urgency, trade-in and next-step context.
- Separate channels and fragmented alerts.
- Contacts without visible intent or priority.
- Manual follow-up and untracked handoffs.
- Variable ownership times outside BDC coverage.
