In today’s digital world, most of your leads will likely come from online sources like your dealership website, Autotrader, or Facebook page. DealerCenter simplifies your workflow by automatically funneling these leads into your CRM. You'll be notified of new prospects, allowing you to access their details with just one click. Keep an eye on your Notification Center, your Homepage Customer Info Tile or Sales dashboard for real-time lead activity.
For your Sales Dashboard go to Dashboards on the menu, then choose CRM Dashboard:
For in-person customer interactions, DealerCenter offers a quick and accurate data entry method through license scanning. Simply scan the back of a customer's driver's license, and DealerCenter will do the rest, including checking for existing records and prompting you to create a new prospect record if needed.
DealerCenter allows for manual entry of prospect details, starting with the basics like name, contact number, or email.
From your Homepage, go to the Add a Prospect quick link. Then just add in the customer details:
When entering information for a new prospect, DealerCenter will automatically alert you if the details match an existing customer record. You can choose to open the existing record or cancel and continue adding the new prospect.
Adding more detailed information to the customer database improves demographic insights and enhances reporting capabilities.
DealerCenter's wishlist feature helps you connect with customers' desires. Add vehicles like a Toyota Camry to a customer's wishlist, and when a matching VIN is scanned at an auction, you'll be notified, paving the way for a potential sale. It's about making meaningful connections at the right time.
Whether automatically importing leads, scanning licenses, or entering details manually, managing your prospects in DealerCenter is designed to be intuitive and efficient. Remember, a lead is not yet a customer—they're potential opportunities that, with the right approach, you can convert into sales.
