Shereef,

Sorry, "Dead end chats" are chats that produce no contact info (ideally name and phone#).

Joe

I am proud of and happy to share these numbers :). Based on our last 3 months of data 67% of all sales chat queries we take result in a lead/appointment. 61% of the leads produced being Phone number leads (Client provided phone number, name, and about 80% also gave email). 31% of these leads were Email leads (Client would not provide phone number just email address). 8% were VIP appointments (Client committed to come into the dealership at a set date and time, and provided name, phone and email address). Of all the chats we take, Sales, Service, and Parts, 46% provide some sort of contact info or commit to an appointment. These are our current numbers, and we are working daily to improve them through review of our scripts, and review of all chats taken to insure our process is followed 100%.

Dave - Maria

Thank you for your participation in our Dealer Chat case study. I will be posting different breakdowns of the results over the next couple of weeks to let everyone see the data. Toyota Town had some turn over/staffing problems during the trial, so although we increased the leads substantially the sales numbers were not that strong....we can deliver the leads from the best source, but can't close the deals :). The other two Dealerships did very well, and saw nice increases in conversion and in sales. Keep an eye on this thread, as the data gets posted. Also feel free to comment or ask any questions
