A few things to know
Clear answers. Before you start.
Who is this for?
Dealerships and sales teams handling buyer inquiries. Automotive brands can also discuss first-contact and qualification needs before a dealer handoff.
Where does my sales team step in?
The example puts the salesperson in control of the next action: reviewing buyer context and a suggested message. Exact controls and responsibilities must be confirmed for your setup.
Does qualification discard slower buyers?
No response or a longer buying timeline does not make an inquiry invalid. The proposed workflow separates spam and non-sales requests from buyers who need nurturing; uncertain cases remain available for human review.
How would my inventory connect?
The starting point is your current inventory source and update process. The connection method needs to be confirmed for your setup.
What happens when I request a demo?
The demo page explains whether requests are live or in preview mode. A live request is confirmed only after it reaches the receiving service. A demo request does not reserve a time.
