Four Ways A.I. Can Lead Your Dealership to Greater Profits

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized business worldwide, and automotive dealerships are no exception. Instead of performing every task manually, dealers learn the power of automating their dealership systems. As a result, dealers simplify daily operations, achieving greater efficiencies, selling more vehicles, and improving margins.

“AI can even help facilitate natural sales conversations, answer customer service inquiries, and track customer behavior data to inform your marketing decisions. In other words, I believe AI allows businesses of every size, level, and industry to forge ahead toward growth goals with velocity.” Cleve Adams, President, and CEO of VOXOX and contributor to Forbes.com

Let’s take a closer look at four ways dealers can leverage the power of AI to boost sales.

There is an abundance of consumer data available to collect, analyze, and use for your dealership’s benefit. However, many dealers find it challenging to use the data collected. This is because it’s challenging to find actionable insights from large amounts of information.

AI-driven platforms are practical and efficient when finding patterns in larger data sets. Machine learning algorithms can sort and interpret data to help find trends and predict outcomes.

AutoAlert’s AlertMiner and AlertMiner Pro platforms eliminate data roadblocks by securely collecting data from myriad sources and bringing it all into one place for analysis every day so that the user gets a complete picture of each customer.

AI-driven tools provide valuable feedback to your marketing and sales teams to streamline your sales funnel while increasing closing rates.

Suppose you need to acquire a particular preowned vehicle. Data can quickly show you which customers are currently driving that vehicle and who among them is likely ready to trade today. Or maybe it’s an excellent time to reach out to customers with open recalls or those who haven’t been in service in the last year.

AI tools found in AutoAlert platforms help ensure customers receive the right offer at the right time. The offer isn’t a mystery to the user – the platform provides all the relevant details behind it, responsive to the dealership’s goals and the customer’s behaviors in real-time.

AI tools can efficiently handle various repetitive tasks. This frees up your sales staff from routine tasks and focuses on revenue-generating ones.

AI-powered tools can help track and monitor your employees’ activities to ensure they get the job done during work hours.

In a Harvard Business Review article, Artificial Intelligence for the Real World, stated, “Business drudgery in every industry and function—overseeing routine transactions, repeatedly answering the same questions, and extracting data from endless documents—could become the province of machines, freeing up human workers to be more productive and creative.”
