Outbound calls are a frequent activity at any dealership, but your teams are often met with a voicemail greeting rather than a customer. This can happen for many reasons and during any part of the sales cycle, but leaving a confusing or enthusiastic message is a surefire way to lose business. Like they would with other phone interactions, your sales team needs to come prepared using tight scripts that tell them what to say and how to say it.

Choosing to buy a used car instead of a new one can be a wise financial decision. Used cars and trucks cost less than new ones, and someone else has already taken most of the hit from depreciation. Insurance premiums can be less, buyers can find more options, and car payments are lower. If you’re on a budget, case closed, right? Not exactly. Buying a used vehicle leads to other choices buyers must make: certified pre-owned vs. used.
