What’s happening on the showroom floor?

Curious to hear from dealership leaders:

How do you actually know what happens in live sales conversations on the showroom floor?

Most dealerships have strong visibility into leads, CRM activity, appointments, test drives, follow-up, F&I, and closed deals.
But the actual face-to-face conversation between the customer and the salesperson is often much harder to measure or coach consistently.

That conversation is where a lot of value is created or lost:
  • How well the salesperson qualifies the buyer
  • How objections are handled
  • Whether trade-in, financing, protection plans, or next steps are positioned well
  • Why some deals move forward and others stall
  • What top performers do differently
We’re building InstoreX, an AI platform designed to help dealerships understand and improve showroom sales conversations — with the goal of helping managers coach better, improve customer experience, and close more deals.

We’re currently looking to speak with a small number of dealership managers and sales leaders who would be open to sharing how they manage and coach their teams today, and potentially help shape the product as design partners.

No sales pitch — we’re trying to learn from operators and build this around real dealership workflows.

If you’d be open to a short conversation, comment here or email me at [email protected]

✨ AI Highlights

A vendor founder asks dealership leaders how they currently monitor and coach live showroom floor conversations, noting that while most dealers have strong CRM and pipeline visibility, the actual face-to-face sales interaction remains a blind spot. The post is a lead-in to pitching InstoreX, an AI platform aimed at capturing and analyzing in-store conversations to surface coaching insights, deal stall reasons, and top-performer behaviors. The thread appears to be in its early stages, positioned as both a genuine discovery question and a product introduction.
