The Challenge

With over 450 internet leads per month, Larry H. Miller Toyota was struggling with inconsistent follow-up speed and coordination between their BDC teams. Nearly 40% of leads were going unanswered within the critical first hour, resulting in lost opportunities to competitors.

The Solution

Deployed Lotivio with centralized AI recovery workflows. Integrated with their existing CRM to trigger instant follow-up on missed contacts and slow responses across all departments.

Hendrick Honda

Charlotte, NC

28x ROI within 60 days

The Challenge

Hendrick Honda had a strong marketing budget generating 200+ internet leads monthly, but their small BDC team couldn't keep up with the volume. After-hours and weekend leads often went cold by Monday morning, with no systematic follow-up process.

The Solution

Implemented Lotivio's full 3-channel recovery system with focus on after-hours automation. Set up smart routing to pass hot leads back to BDC during business hours, while AI handled nights and weekends automatically.

We were losing deals every weekend because we couldn't staff our BDC 24/7. Now Lotivio handles Friday night and Saturday morning leads immediately. Our close rate on weekend leads jumped significantly.

Park Place Lexus

Plano, TX

51x ROI over 3 months

The Challenge

As a luxury dealership with high-value transactions, every lost lead represented $5,000+ in gross profit. Their CRM had over 800 cold leads from the past 6 months that sales had attempted once and abandoned due to limited follow-up resources.

The Solution

Used Lotivio to launch a systematic cold CRM recovery campaign. AI sequences targeted leads by vehicle interest, price range, and time since last contact. Personalized outreach emphasized trade-in value and new inventory arrivals.

Independent Dealership

CarMax Auto

Phoenix, AZ

18x ROI in first 60 days

The Challenge

Independent used car dealership with limited staff and budget. No dedicated BDC. Sales team was handling their own follow-up, resulting in inconsistent response times and no systematic recovery process for their growing online lead volume.

The Solution

Started with Lotivio focused on SMS and Email recovery. AI automatically follows up on all web form submissions and missed calls within minutes, passing warm leads to sales team when they engage and are ready to visit.

Tampa, FL

38x ROI within 75 days

The Challenge

Extremely high lead volume (600+ monthly) was overwhelming their 5-person BDC. Speed-to-lead was suffering, and no-shows were at 45%. They needed to maximize every opportunity without adding expensive headcount or sacrificing service quality.

The Solution

Deployed Lotivio with focus on appointment confirmation and no-show recovery. AI sends reminder sequences before scheduled appointments and instantly re-engages no-shows with rescheduling options via multiple channels.

No-shows were killing us. We'd book 100 appointments and only 55 would show up. Lotivio cut our no-show rate in half and recovers the ones who still miss. Absolute game-changer for our bottom line.
