Scenario – Car Sales

Let’s say you work in a busy automotive dealership as a Sales Consultant. You meet lots of people daily in the showroom. The customer service you provide to new lead will determine your sales success. The moment you meet someone ​capture their contact information with Always Be In Contact. As you get busy and time goes on you will be alerted to follow-up. Once you sell someone, keep them in the Sold category and receive automatic reminders to follow-up every 30 days. You will be able to capitalize on this and generate referral sales with proper follow-up. The stats after a car sale show that 90% of sales people do not follow-up with their customers. This app will help you maintain follow-up and assist you in your everyday communication with your contacts.
