Over 90% of car buyers begin the car-buying process using the internet, and when a lead is submitted they are up to 5 times more likely to continue the process and purchase from the dealer who responded first. Without a reliable lead management software and proven process, your dealership is losing valuable leads, prospects, and sales. CAR-Research XRM’s Internet Lead Manager (ILM) enables consistent communication with leads using various marketing methods. Using our ILM, your dealership can create a consistent and repeatable lead management process for all stages of a lead lifecycle, including capturing new leads, distributing leads, marketing, tracking communication, nurturing leads, converting leads, and analyzing results.
