Trigger Leads

Pros

  • You're getting info on people who were physically out shopping for a vehicle within the last 24 hours as opposed to something from the internet, where some people aren't even in the market for a vehicle.
  • Info is fresh and accurate.
  • Some companies offer vanity websites and 24/7 live operators to help in contacting the leads.
  • Some companies offer customized mail pieces as a secondary form of contact with leads.
  • Leads received are exclusive
  • Very affordable
  • You can contact 5 times the amount of people for the same price as 1 internet lead.
  • Leads can be filtered based on location, credit score, income, age, etc.

Cons

  • You occasionally run into people who have already bought.
  • Not all phone numbers received are accurate.
  • If you're in a rural area the availability of leads might not be that great.
  • You do not get a full credit application like you would with a lead from the internet.
  • You need to have someone dedicated to calling and setting appointments. For dealerships who are short-staffed this may be an issue.
