As we are constantly looking for ways to improve our internet sales process, one of the things that has come to our attention that we are thinking of looking into further is auto quoting. There are several companies that offer services like this at a reasonable rate, one of them being responselogix. We are looking at trying to implement this at mainly our Honda store on a trial basis until we see how it works, but before we did I thought it would be a great idea to pick the brains of this community on the topic and see if anyone out there has had any expierence working with such companies and how your dealership has benefitted etc. To give you some background right now we are using a system where a rep recieves a lead then the lead is first called so the initial contact can try to be made. If the initial contact is made by phone the appt is attempted and if the rep does not set one then the quote must be sent out manually by the rep through a template email we have devised from some good quote templates we have seen. Obviously in an ideal world we would be able to set an appt on every call, but when this cant happen we want to be sure we are getting quotes out. Some of the concerns we have are as follows...any input provided would be great.
1.) If your using an auto quote service, is it seamlessly able to interact with your ILM/CRM, specifically iMagiclab?
2.) Ultimately, we would like to get a hold of each customer on the phone prior to quoting to see if we cannot first set an appt. without having to divulge a quote. If you using an autoquote service, is there a time frame you can set up to allow yourself a chance for contact before its sent out?
3.) One of the main reasons we would like to implement this is to be sure each and every customer, regardless of whom the rep is the lead is assigned to is getting a quote. If you are using such a service, are all your customers getting prices?
