Benefits of Chat Integration in a Dealership CRM

Written By Ted Rubin

The automotive industry is in an exciting new era!

It's the era of utilizing technology to help improve the customer experience in the world of car sales.

One critical aspect of this technology is the integration between different software systems used by dealerships. It's imperative that all of your technology plays nice to ensure the most streamlined customer experience - otherwise, the technology can actively hurt your service potential.

In this blog post, we'll explore the benefits of integrating live chat with dealership CRMs, including how it can enhance lead management, streamline communication, and provide real-time data. We'll also provide a detailed explanation of how our live chat software can integrate with your dealership CRM.




The Importance of Seamless Automotive CRM Integrations

Seamless integrations between different software systems are crucial for car dealerships. Integrating live chat with dealership CRM software can provide real-time data, improve lead management, and streamline communication.

With the help of seamless integrations, dealership staff can have all the customer information they need at their fingertips. This means that car dealers can provide better service, respond to customer inquiries faster, and ultimately drive more sales.

Live chat integrated with your dealership CRM = winning!




3 Benefits of Integrating Live Chat with Your Customer Relationship Management System

Integrating live chat with dealership CRMs can provide numerous benefits to automotive businesses:

1) Improve Lead Management and Lead Quality

First and foremost, it can improve lead management by providing real-time data on website visitors who are engaging with live chat. This customer data can include the visitor's name, location, contact information (when they have provided it, of course), and the pages they are viewing on the website. This information can help dealership staff prioritize leads and ensure that no potential customers slip through the cracks during the sales process. It's in the name: customer relationship management.

All of this information serves to provide a more robust lead, as well. With a frontline live chat system for your car dealership, your sales team will be primed for success with the most information possible and a head start on navigating and closing the deal.

2) Streamline Communication

Live chat integration with dealership CRMs can also streamline communication between dealership staff and customers. With live chat, customers can communicate with dealership staff in real-time, without having to wait on hold, wait for a callback, or wait on an email response.

Dealership staff can quickly and easily respond to customer inquiries, schedule appointments, and provide personalized recommendations. All of this can help build stronger relationships between the dealership and its customers, which can lead to increased loyalty and repeat business.

3) Sourcing and Quality Training

Live chat software can benefit car dealers and their CRM software even further by providing robust reporting and chat sourcing. Our integration with automotive CRM systems, like eLeads, enables you to see a source, and a subsource for the chat. This can help outfit your dealership website with the best possible live chat strategy.

In addition to the synergy of integrating with CRM software, reviewing the live chats in your dealership CRM can help you train your own team, if you have a BDC that sometimes handles chats. Many auto dealerships have already noted our customer interactions via chat and have implement our customer service approach.
