A CDJR dealership on the East coast had a high volume of internet leads — but most of them weren’t going anywhere. A large portion were subprime, and the team struggled to get solid engagement. Set rates hovered around 11%, and less than 1 in 3 appointments were showing up. With limited staff and no clear follow-up structure, valuable leads were getting cold fast.
We stepped in with a team of trained agents who understood how to work subprime traffic. Every lead got fast, personal follow-up using tailored scripts based on lead type. Within 30 days, both set and show rates jumped significantly — without adding any new ad spend or technology.

What Made the Difference
Trained for Subprime
We assigned agents who understood how to talk with subprime shoppers—no judgment, just real conversations that built trust and kept the process moving.
Custom Scripts by Lead Type
Not all leads are the same. We used tailored messaging for subprime, special finance, and new car leads to increase engagement and boost conversions.
Reworked Cold Leads
We didn’t just chase fresh submissions — we went back into the CRM, revived older leads, and turned “no responses” into booked appointments.
