The main difference between AVA and VIN or iMagic is AVA's ability to continue the (email) conversation with the customer beyond an initial auto responder. Most CRMs and ILMs have the ability to schedule emails to be sent at certain milestones, like when a lead arrives, 6 days later, 30 days later, etc. AVA is an artificial intelligence system that doesn't just send messages based on a schedule but, more importantly, AVA is able to interpret customer responses and take action based on those responses: sending another message right back to the customer (while they are still sitting at their computer) setting up a phone appointment with the salesperson and sending a text alert to the sales person, letting them know that the customer is bubbled up and ready for their call. This process keeps the customer engaged with your dealership. AVA also follows up a couple days after the scheduled phone appointment to make sure the customer talked to the sales person. AVA isn't meant to replace the CRM, ILM or successful processes currently in place. AVA works alongside those systems and processes to engage your customers and keep leads from slipping through the cracks. If you receive 500-1000 leads per month, you can expect an additional 5-10 deals per month with AVA.
