Implementing Artificial Intelligence
With the implementation of DriveCentric's cutting-edge artificial intelligence, Genius, the Tom Masano Auto Group could effectively handle hundreds of additional leads. “We had hundreds of conversations going on at one time that we just could not get to because of manpower." Responding swiftly to the influx in engagement, the team transitioned their BDC department to an Engagement Center.
You look at a traditional sales funnel…a lot of the top of that funnel can be handled by anybody that has access to the data, so salespeople don’t necessarily need to be involved in that portion of it.
