One little thing I have done is to add the word "very" to templates. Particularly auto response.

Example:

Thank you for coming in to our dealership vs. Thank you very much for coming in to our dealership

Thank you for your inquiry on the 2014 Pinto vs. Thank you very much for your inquiry on the 2014 Pinto.

I am interested in your feedback vs. I am very interested in your feedback.

In my opinion it makes the response a little more genuine.

Any other thoughts ?
 
I think the nut is to be human.

Adding very might help... but it just ain't close to enough for me.

What if you sound very much like a robot instead of like a robot. If there's nothing there, there's nothing there. A loser is a loser. <continues to beat dead horse...>

I think the biggest "trick" is to tell a story (of some sort) in email and to ACTUALLY care.
