Lead Nurture for New Car Dealerships

{"faqs":[{"answer":"After-hours trade-in inquiries get an instant text response with your approved next step — whether that's a link to your online appraisal tool, a callback offer for the next morning, or a booking link for an in-person appraisal. The lead is captured, qualified, and nurtured until they schedule.","question":"How does CallMyLeads handle trade-in valuation requests that come in after hours?"},{"answer":"The AI handles approved FAQs you provide — such as current incentives, warranty basics, or delivery timelines — and captures the lead's specific vehicle interest. Detailed inventory questions or negotiation get routed to your sales team per your routing rules.","question":"Can the AI assistant answer questions about specific new vehicle inventory or incentives?"},{"answer":"Automotive retail falls under TCPA and state telemarketing laws. CallMyLeads registers your business texting under A2P 10DLC, honors quiet hours (8 PM–8 AM local), processes opt-outs instantly, and collects explicit consent in the booking flow — so every text is compliant.","question":"What compliance requirements apply to automotive lead follow-up via text?"},{"answer":"A single ~15-minute scoping call defines your lead sources, response rules, and integration points. Our team handles the technical setup — connecting forms, phones, chat, and your CRM/calendar — typically live within a few business days.","question":"How long does it take to get set up with our existing CRM and DMS?"},{"answer":"Most chatbots only handle web chat. CRM automation only works on leads already in your system. CallMyLeads answers every channel — calls, forms, ads, chat, missed calls — 24/7 with honest AI that books directly into your calendar, nurtures until booked, and tracks source-to-appointment. One system, per-minute pricing, no seats.","question":"How is this different from the chatbot or CRM automation tools we already pay for?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Website forms, ad platforms, phone lines, chat widgets, and referral partners join one response system in a single setup call."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Define first messages, qualification questions, scoring thresholds, and when to route hot leads to your sales team vs. nurture."},{"step":"3","title":"Leads Get Worked Automatically","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Instant response → qualification → booked appointments with reminders → nurture until booked or opt-out.
