Lead-to-Booking Pipeline Built for Boat Dealerships

{"faqs":[{"answer":"The AI uses your approved FAQs and qualification scripts. It can capture trade-in details (year, make, model, hours, condition) and financing intent, then book the appraisal or route to your F&I manager. It does not provide valuations or financial advice — it collects the info your team needs to prepare.","question":"Can the AI handle boat-specific questions like trade-in valuations or financing options?"},{"answer":"Leads flow automatically into your existing CRM and calendar via standard integrations. We don't replace your DMS — we make sure every lead from every source actually reaches it with full context: source, qualification answers, and booked appointment time.","question":"How does this integrate with our Dealer Management System (DMS) and CRM?"},{"answer":"The AI checks your qualification rules, captures the boat stock number and preferred times, and books the sea trial directly into your calendar with confirmation and reminder texts. If the boat is sold or unavailable, your team gets routed the lead with full notes to offer alternatives.","question":"What happens when a customer asks for a sea trial on a specific pre-owned boat?"},{"answer":"A free 15-minute scoping call settles the plan. Most dealerships are fully connected — phone lines ported, forms mapped, calendar synced, rules approved — within 5-7 business days. No contract means you can start for the season and adjust anytime.","question":"How fast can we be live for the spring selling season?"},{"answer":"One BDC rep covers 40 hours. Leads arrive 168 hours a week — 56% after hours. You'd need 3-4 hires for true 24/7 coverage, plus training on your inventory and DMS. CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary, starts in days, and never calls in sick during boat show weekend.","question":"Why not just hire a seasonal BDC rep instead?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Website forms, ad platforms, phone lines, web chat, and referral sources joined to 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 (budget, timeline, trade-in), what counts as qualified, and when to route to your sales team."},{"step":"3","title":"Leads Get Worked Automatically","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Instant response → qualification → booked appointments with reminders → nurture for not-ready leads.
