Frequently Asked Questions

As fast as you can, ideally within minutes. Internet car buyers inquire on several vehicles at once, and the first honest, helpful reply usually gets the test drive. Keep the new-lead reply prompt saved so a good first response is one paste away.
Only if you skip the edit. Fill in the real vehicle, the buyer's question, and your salesperson's name, then paste an example of how your team already texts so ChatGPT matches it. Specific details and your own voice are what make it land.
Yes. Save the follow-up sequences and reply templates, swap the vehicle and lead details each time, and your whole team works from a consistent, proven cadence. It is the fastest way to stop leads from going cold between touches.
The follow-up sequence. Most dealerships lose deals not on the first contact but by quitting after one unanswered text. A structured multi-touch sequence, sent consistently, is usually the cheapest way to sell more cars from leads you already have.
