When AutoRaptor’s founder, Howard Leavitt, was working as a dealership manager, he had difficulty finding the CRM tools that would work best for an independent dealer. Throughout his 25-year career, some software solutions were made.
But few could meet the needs of buy here pay here (BHPH) and pre-owned businesses. Leavitt wasn’t happy with how third-party CRM programs helped him with sales. The software packages with the big boxes had more features than the smaller dealers needed, but they were more expensive.
Smaller software packages didn’t meet the needs of businesses that let people buy things and pay for them later. Few salespeople could understand them because they were strange, hard to understand, and scary.
Not only were they too expensive to use, but their main purpose was not to move cars but to gather information. Leavitt wanted to find a way to do both faster and better work, so he decided to make a system that combined the best parts of both manual and automated work.
Automation makes it easier to talk to customers and keep track of sales. To deal with the Internet’s changes to the car business, he decided to make software for “buy here, pay here” dealerships instead of the usual hardware.
What does it mean? Automator is a customer relationship management (CRM) system made just for independent BHPH car dealers that change the game. The main goal was to make a software program for purchase here, pay-justice transactions that are strong, easy to use, and don’t cost too much.
1.AutoRaptor’s flexible daily workflows can increase sales by up to 20%
You already know that salespeople at a “buy here, pay here” dealership do more than sell cars. They are in charge of ensuring clients are happy and keeping them, setting up appointments, making phone calls, and planning meetings.
Multitasking can make you more likely to make mistakes that cost you sales. AutoRaptor’s action plan tools, on the other hand, make it easy to set up daily tasks. Our dashboard makes it easier for your dealership to stay organized, ensuring nothing gets missed, and everything is taken care of.
2. AutoRaptor’s automation tools make sure that no customer is left behind
Your salespeople are so busy bringing in new customers that they don’t make as much of an effort to keep the customers they already have. AutoRaptor’s automatic, pre-scheduled channels and customizable templates, on the other hand, help sales teams work more efficiently.
During this time, they can make plans for keeping customers and work on other prospects simultaneously. Dealer communications are sent when and how salespeople want, even if they are busy with trade shows or daily deliveries. These messages can be sent by email or text message.
Your salespeople have more time to focus on closing deals because they won’t have to do as many administrative tasks. Sales managers can hold their teams accountable (and make more money) by using an easy-to-use dashboard to track every top spot, customer, appointment, assignment, voice call, email, and text message.
3. Small BHPH dealers can sell many more cars with the help of the AutoRaptor mobile app.
One of the main reasons our customers love the AutoRaptor mobile app is that salespeople are no longer tied to their desks. Instead, they can close deals whenever and wherever they want.
Our mobile app gives buy here, pay here car lots features previously only available to new car lots and did so at a fraction of the price. With these tools, you can manage leads, talk to people, and even start a digital deal jacket.
The License Scanning Tool makes getting images of driver’s licenses easier from very clear customers. The VIN Scanner Tool eliminates mistakes when recording VINs for sales or buying cars as trade-ins.
You can find both tools on our site. These solutions help relatively small dealerships save time, avoid mistakes in paperwork, and focus on making more sales and keeping customers happy.
4. AutoRaptor’s campaign builder makes marketing easy with its features.
Our campaign builder has features that make it easy for independent “buy here, pay here” dealers to target customers who are most likely to buy. You can quickly search and sort based on different criteria, such as the car’s age or the date the lease ends.
Once a specific audience has been chosen, your team can use templates that can be changed to send more relevant emails to that audience. Accountability elements also help salespeople track how each customer responds and give managers a way to determine which campaigns are profitable and which are not.
5. AutoRaptor’s lead management features increase productivity right away
With AutoRaptor’s Round Robin characteristic, which distributes new vehicles sold leads fairly and automatically, you can get more done and boost morale simultaneously. Reps don’t have to wait for supervisors to give them leads, and car buyers are helped quickly, which makes them happier.
The best part is that all prospects are together in an easy-to-use dashboard. Let’s say your team can find all the information from all sources in one place. In that case, no lead will ever be lost, no chance will ever be missed, and more charges will be turned into sales.
