Why it can work

  • Leads demand out-the-door prices and sight-unseen appraisals.
  • Phone time goes to shoppers unlikely to buy.
  • Salespeople want early signals on which leads will never buy.

  • Managers may refuse to publish prices online.
  • Poor dealer CRM data limits lead scoring accuracy.
