Remember that just because a customer is not answering your call does not mean they are uninterested. You may have caught them at a bad time, or maybe you have an outdated phone number. One way to combat the customer not answering the phone is to utilize multiple communication methods like texting, emailing, calling back, and leaving a voicemail. Using one of these channels improves your chances of getting that customer on the phone.

After analyzing thousands of dealerships, in 2022, Car Wars found that the days of the week with the most unconnected calls were Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Therefore, if your goal is to connect more calls, you can be strategic and make your outbound calls on Thursday and Friday.

If a customer bought a vehicle at your dealership, you already have your foot in the door when it comes to gaining them as a service customer. Make sure you are utilizing this tool and have your Sales team encourage their customers to utilize the dealership's Service Department when they have a repair.

If you have set goals for your team to meet on the number of outbound calls they should be making, it is essential to track their activity to ensure they are meeting those goals. Car Wars reporting will show the number of customer contacts uploaded, called, reached with a live conversation, removed, or remaining for a campaign. This feature makes it easy to track and report on your outbound efforts.
