LeadsCoda answers listing-site and website inquiries in seconds, hands each lead to the next salesperson, books test drives into open times, and keeps your buyer posted until delivery.
Inquiries answered in seconds Leads shared across your sales team Test drives booked into open times
Five steps, every week: LeadsCoda takes a shopper from the first question, on a listing site or on your lot, to a salesperson, a test drive and delivery day.
Step 1 · The inquiry
LeadsCoda answers new inquiries while you are on a test drive
Forward the lead emails your listing sites send to your LeadsCoda address. LeadsCoda reads the shopper's name, number, email and question out of the email and files the lead. When they asked something, LeadsCoda's AI emails back in seconds, in your voice, and can offer open test-drive times.
LeadsCoda's form goes on your website, worded for a dealer: it asks about the vehicle they want or the one they would trade in. Sending it agrees to texts, and LeadsCoda's AI texts back.
LeadsCoda records each lead's texting and email consent, and where it came from.
Automatic follow-ups text only shoppers with texting consent on record, never during your quiet hours, and pause the moment they reply.

Hi Dana, thanks for asking about the 2019 bowrider. Saturday morning works: I have 9:30 or 10:30 open for you to come see it. Which would you like?
LeadsCoda's AI wrote this in your voice, and offered only times your calendar shows open.
Step 2 · The lot
LeadsCoda turns a shopper walking your lot after hours into a lead
Put a LeadsCoda code on the window sticker or a hang tag. A shopper who scans it gets a text to your business already written, and sends it. LeadsCoda files the lead under that code, texts back that someone will be straight back to them, and starts your follow-up.
Each code counts its scans and the shoppers who got in touch, so you can see which row or sign is worth printing.
LeadsCoda has codes for the showroom window, the service desk and the service invoice too.
Link a code to a boat show or a ride and drive on your calendar, and everyone who gets in touch through it during the event is credited to it.
Rather not text? The shopper can leave their details instead.

Step 3 · The rotation
LeadsCoda hands each new lead to the next salesperson in turn
Turn on round-robin, and every lead that comes in on its own goes to the next salesperson, with a notification on their phone. Pick how long a new lead can wait: if it is still untouched when the time is up, LeadsCoda moves it to the next salesperson and notes why on the lead.
Give a senior salesperson a bigger share, mark someone away, or send one source, like your lot codes, straight to one person.
Give each salesperson their own number. Texts to it land as their lead, and every reply goes out from it, so the shopper keeps one thread with one person.
Would your team rather grab leads? LeadsCoda can put them in a shared pool, and the first to claim one gets it.

Step 4 · The test drive
LeadsCoda books test drives into times your calendar shows open
Your LeadsCoda booking page offers a test drive, a trade-in appraisal or a vehicle delivery, each with its own length. In a conversation, LeadsCoda's AI offers open times and books the one the shopper picks.
LeadsCoda checks the calendar you connect before it offers a time, puts each booking on it, and holds offered times for a few minutes so two shoppers are not offered the same one.
About a day before, LeadsCoda sends a reminder: a text if they agreed to texts and it is outside your quiet hours, or else an email if they agreed to email.
Shoppers reply to the reminder to change the time, and the reply lands in your inbox.

Hi Marcus! Friendly reminder about your Test drive on Sat, Nov 7, 10:30 AM. Reply here if you need to reschedule. (Reply STOP to opt out)
A text, because he agreed to texts when he booked. During your quiet hours, or for a shopper who did not agree to texts, LeadsCoda emails the reminder instead, when they agreed to email.
Step 5 · Delivery day
LeadsCoda keeps your buyer posted from signed to delivered
Add the sold vehicle as a deal and share it with your buyer. They get one private link to their own page, in your name and colors, with nothing to download, and they follow the deal there until it is delivered.
Signed, Getting ready, Ready for pickup, Delivered: each step shows on their page.
LeadsCoda texts them the link when you press send, if they agreed to texts. Otherwise, copy the link and send it yourself.
They message you from their page, and you answer from the same inbox as your texts and email.
Add a delivery photo at handover, and it shows on their page.
