Legacy Scheduling
Ghost Leads
Cars detailed and plated for buyers who never arrive. No consequences, total loss.
Idle Sales Staff

Blind Handshakes
Reps walk into drives with zero context. 20 minutes wasted on discovery every time.
Stalled F&I Penetration
Finance is an afterthought. Discovery happens too late, leading to missed protection and finance opportunities.
