Auto Dealerships & Groups

    A car buyer visits 1.4 dealerships on average. Make sure yours is one of them.

    Web leads come in evenings and weekends when the showroom is closed. TextConvo makes sure every shopper gets a real reply — fast.

    The Gap

    Three reasons automotive teams lose deals every week

    01

    Web leads sit for hours before anyone calls

    A car buyer submits a form at 7pm. The dealership's BDC calls the next morning. By then the buyer has already visited two other dealer sites, booked a test drive elsewhere, or made a decision. The first response wins.

    Average dealership response time to web leads: 3+ hours. Buyers expect minutes.

    02

    One-way voicemail blasts go unheard

    One-way voicemail blasts go unheard. TextConvo's AI actually talks — placing a call that qualifies the buyer live, and if voicemail picks up, it doesn't leave a robotic message; it follows up by text instead. Two-way conversation on whichever channel the buyer answers.

    Less than 5% of sales voicemails are ever returned.

    03

    Showroom visits need momentum to happen

    A buyer who's 'thinking about it' needs a reason to come in. Without a fast, personal follow-up that answers their specific question — price, availability, financing — that curiosity disappears.

    Buyers who get instant response are 2x more likely to visit the showroom.

    How TextConvo bridges it

    Capabilities mapped to the gap — not generic features.

    AI calls every web lead in under 60 seconds

    The AI places an outbound call the moment a lead lands — late nights, Sundays, holidays included — and qualifies the buyer live.

    Voicemail-aware, so no lead is wasted

    If the call reaches voicemail, TextConvo ends it without a robotic message and follows up by text instead — the buyer answers on whichever channel they prefer.

    Captures intent before handoff

    Qualifies new vs used, trade-in, financing needs and timing — by call or text — before a salesperson gets involved.

    Salesperson handoff with buyer preferences

    Salespeople open the conversation with model interest, timeframe and trade-in already captured — no cold calling.

    How it works

    Lead in. AI replies. Human takes over.

    01

    Lead comes in

    A new inquiry hits your form, ad, CRM or inbox. TextConvo sees it the moment it lands.

    02

    AI responds

    Within seconds, the AI opens a real two-way conversation — by text or an AI call — qualifying, answering questions, and booking time. If a call hits voicemail, it ends and follows up by text.

    03

    Human takes over

    Your team gets a booked appointment or a cold transfer with full context — no cold calling, no chasing, no guesswork.
