when I was car shopping two years ago I found it odd that the salesperson did not send me a calendar invite once we confirmed when I would come in. I think most 30-something and 40-something aged people run their lives on their apple or google calendar. SO you definitely have a good point here. It would feel a bit more professional to me if the sales rep did that. But maybe sales reps are doing this now but I am just not in the market at the moment.
I would look into Calendly. It's not expensive, has incredible API support, and support large sales teams with appointment distribution for most successful reps & round-robin capabilities.
✨ AI Highlights
The thread debates why automotive dealerships haven't widely adopted formal calendar scheduling tools for sales appointments, despite their prevalence in service departments and broader consumer expectations. While some respondents note that CRM systems handle appointments and customers treat sales appointments less seriously than service appointments, others argue that adopting professional scheduling practices could be a competitive differentiator that improves show rates and customer satisfaction. The consensus suggests that structured appointment management will become increasingly important as dealerships move toward a more operationally efficient sales model with pre-qualified customers and prepared inventory.
