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.
