So, if they are happy, send them a link to leave you a review on Yelp or Google. If they're unhappy, forgo the link and send a message saying a rep will be in contact with them soon instead.
- Car Search
- Find out more about the make and model a customer is searching for by asking them questions and capturing their responses. Then, when you have a car that matches their wish list on the lot, you can target specific alerts to those customers.
