Why Choose Us
Generic scoring tools treat every lead like a Sunday driver—slow and unreliable. We build yours from the ground up, weaving in your unique data streams like website interactions, inventory views, and service history. Short on time? Our models learn fast. Complex needs? We scale seamlessly. This isn't assembly-line software; it's a custom-tuned engine for your sales pipeline, delivering scores that predict who'll drive away in a new SUV versus window-shop online.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Dealership Efficiency with Precision Scoring
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads
Skyrocket Close Rates on High-Intent Leads: Focus your team on prospects showing buy signals—like repeated views of financing options for SUVs or trade-in uploads with vehicle photos. Dealerships using our system report 35% higher conversions on qualified leads, turning 1 in 3 scored inquiries into signed purchase agreements within 30 days, without the guesswork of blanket outreach to casual browser traffic.
Slash Time on Fruitless Follow-Ups
Slash Time on Fruitless Follow-Ups: No more dialing ghosts from service appointment inquiries. Our AI flags low-scoring leads early, cutting unproductive calls by 60%. Imagine your sales reps spending those hours on hot leads instead—last quarter, one mid-sized dealership reclaimed 15 hours per rep weekly, directly boosting showroom traffic and upsell opportunities on F&I products like extended warranties.
Adapt to Market Shifts Like a Pro Tuner
Adapt to Market Shifts Like a Pro Tuner: Automotive sales ebb and flow with OEM incentives and inventory turns on models like trucks or hybrids. Our flexible models recalibrate on the fly, prioritizing leads during end-of-month pushes or Black Friday lease deals. Clients see 25% faster response times to seasonal surges, ensuring you never miss a rush on family sedans, electric crossovers, or fleet orders.
What Clients Say
""Before AIQ, we were buried under 200 weekly website leads from our Ford configurator, half just tire-kickers browsing F-150 trims. Their custom scoring integrated seamlessly with our CDK DMS and started prioritizing folks serious about trading up their old pickups—our close rate jumped from 12% to 28% in three months, and the team finally gets lunches without the phone glued to their ear during peak inventory turns.""
Mike Reynolds
General Sales Manager, Central Valley Ford Dealership
""Generic tools couldn't handle our EV inventory spikes during tax credit seasons; leads got lost in the noise of general browsing. AIQ built a model that scores based on charger compatibility searches and lease queries for Tesla rivals—resulted in 40 more qualified test-drive appointments per month, and we're hitting our Q4 targets two weeks early this year with smoother handover to our finance team.""
Sarah Lopez
Sales Director, Pacific Auto Group (Multi-Brand EV Dealership)
""Our old CRM was blind to service history signals from routine oil changes, so we'd chase expired warranty holders who weren't ready for new vehicle buys. The AIQ setup pulls that data seamlessly from our Reynolds & Reynolds system, scoring them as upsell gold for certified pre-owned upgrades. We've closed $150K in unexpected add-ons since launch, all from leads we used to ignore during slow service bays.""

What's Included
Common Questions
How does custom lead scoring differ from my current CRM's built-in tools?
Standard CRM scoring relies on basic rules like email opens or clicks—fine for general sales, but it ignores automotive specifics like a prospect's history of SUV searches or trade-in eligibility. Our AIQ Labs solution builds a predictive model from your dealership's data, factoring in nuances such as financing pre-qual interest or service visit patterns. This results in 2-3x more accurate prioritization. For instance, instead of scoring every website visitor equally, we weigh behaviors tied to high-close scenarios in your lot. Setup takes 4-6 weeks, and we integrate directly without disrupting your workflow, delivering scores that align with your unique sales cycle and boost conversions by focusing efforts where they count.
What data sources does the system use for automotive leads?
We pull from your core systems: website analytics for page interactions, DMS for inventory views and trade details, CRM for past engagements, and even external signals like market incentives. For a dealership, this means scoring a lead higher if they've lingered on F-150 specs during a rebate period. No manual uploads needed—our secure integrations create a unified feed. We prioritize privacy, anonymizing sensitive info per industry regs. Clients typically see setup in under a month, with the AI learning from your first 1,000 leads to refine accuracy, turning raw data into actionable priorities that cut chase time on low-intent browsers.
How quickly can we see results after implementation?
Most dealerships notice improvements within the first two weeks, as scores start guiding daily huddles. Full impact hits by month two, with 25-40% more qualified appointments. Take a mid-sized operation we worked with: After integrating with their Auto/Mate DMS, they prioritized 150 leads monthly, closing 22 deals that were previously overlooked— all while reducing cold calls by half. We provide a phased rollout: Week 1 for testing, Week 2 for team training, and ongoing tweaks. Your ROI ties to metrics like show rates, so we benchmark against your baselines to ensure tangible lifts in vehicle units sold.
Is this scalable for a growing dealership chain?
Absolutely—our architecture is designed for expansion, handling multiple locations without performance dips. For chains, we build multi-store models that score leads centrally while allowing location-specific tweaks, like regional inventory preferences. A client with three outlets scaled from 300 to 800 leads weekly post-launch, maintaining 95% uptime during peaks. Unlike rigid templates, our custom code adapts via simple config changes, no rebuilds needed. We include scalability audits in discovery, forecasting growth to 50% more volume over two years, ensuring your investment compounds as you add rooftops or service bays.
What if our lead volume fluctuates with promotions?
Our system thrives on variability—AI models dynamically adjust scoring weights during high-influx periods, like Black Friday auto sales, to spotlight urgent buyers amid the noise. For example, we can boost scores for leads engaging with limited-time lease offers. Historical data from similar dealerships shows 30% better capture rates during surges. Implementation includes stress-testing for your peak scenarios, with auto-scaling cloud resources to handle spikes. Post-launch, we monitor and recalibrate quarterly, so whether it's a slow winter or hot summer for trucks, your team stays ahead, converting more of those promo-driven inquiries into drive-offs.
How do you ensure data security for customer info?
Security is non-negotiable in automotive, where financing and trade data is gold. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all transmissions and storage, compliant with standards like GDPR and CCPA, plus auto-specific regs from NADA. Access is role-based—sales sees scores, not full profiles. Our builds avoid third-party dependencies that could leak data, and we conduct penetration testing pre-launch. A recent audit for a client confirmed zero vulnerabilities. You own the system, hosted on your choice of secure cloud (AWS or Azure), with full audit logs. This setup has protected sensitive lead details for 150+ dealerships, letting you focus on sales, not breaches.
