In automotive retail, the difference between a 'hot lead' and a 'cold record' is often measured in minutes. Our data across 500,000+ interactions shows that response rates drop by 400% after the first 5 minutes.

Why? Because customers are shopping multiple stores simultaneously. The first dealership to engage isn't just winning the race—they're setting the terms of the conversation.

AutoMaster Suite's Speed-to-Lead module ensures that every inbound lead receives a human-quality response in under 60 seconds, 24/7/365.

"The speed of the dealership is determined by the speed of its follow-up. AI guarantees that speed is absolute."
