Prospect Direct |
DAT has proven over the past 6 years to have the most cost
effective process for reaching qualified buyers
Why? In most cases
Market Retention levels run 5 times higher than Market Share. Plus ...
Every potential customer that is contacted has purchased from your dealership
in the past, is in an equity position to qualify for a vehicle purchase and can
see the benefits of trading up to a new vehicle with zero dollars out of pocket
and lower their current payment
When market conditions dictate that a
customer can truly benefit by trading, and presented with the right message, a
customer specific message, via phone or personalized invitation that allows
them to make an intelligent buying decision, they will do just that.
Dealers that have bought into this process 100% have sold as many as
113 units and generated over $200,000 in gross in a 30-day period
remarketing to their best resale candidates for a cost of under
$6500. |
