AI Sales Agent for Car Dealerships
Car stores get more internet leads than any team can answer the moment they arrive, and the store that answers first usually sets the appointment.
An AI sales agent closes that gap. Here is what one should do for a car dealership.
What an AI sales agent does for a car dealership
-
It answers every lead first
Ekho’s AI Sales Agent replies on your website and over text in under five seconds, at any hour, including leads from marketplace and listing sites that send the standard automotive lead format.
-
It sells from your inventory and your policies
It answers from your live inventory and draws on the documents you upload, so the buyer gets your answer rather than a generic one.
-
It moves the buyer forward
It books appointments into slots your team can staff, pre-qualifies the buyer in the conversation, and carries that pre-qualification into checkout. Dealers with the Transaction Engine can let it guide a buyer straight into checkout.
-
It works the leads you already have
Leads that arrive from your own CRM can be worked by automated outreach on the schedule you choose, and leads your team is already working are left alone.
-
It hands over to your people
Routing picks the department, the person and the escalation criteria, rotation always keeps a rep on the lead, and every conversation syncs to your CRM with live sync status.

Questions dealers ask
One that answers every lead in seconds from your own inventory, books appointments your team can staff, works the leads already in your CRM, and can take the buyer as far as checkout rather than stopping at a contact form. Ekho’s AI Sales Agent does each of those on your website and over text, on your own brand.
Mostly the name. An AI BDC describes the job a business development center does, answering and following up on leads and booking appointments. An AI sales agent describes the software doing it. Ekho’s AI Sales Agent works as your AI BDC, and can also carry a conversation through to a completed purchase.
No. It takes first contact and the repetitive questions at any hour, then routes each lead to the right person with the full conversation attached, so your salespeople spend their time on buyers who are ready.
Yes. There is two-way sync with your DMS and readable field mapping into your CRM, with live sync status on every lead, and you choose which departments reach which CRM.
Yes. Any site that sends the standard automotive lead format reaches the same address as your own website forms, and the agent answers it with the buyer’s original comments attached.
