AI first-touch sales rep on classifieds marketplaces.

A replicable platform that replies to buyers in real time in classifieds chats on behalf of a dealership's sales rep. It gets the customer's phone number and passes a warm lead to the CRM. The same standard engine runs for several independent clients across five communication channels.

Who it's for
Car dealership chains, dealers
New dealership rollout
3–5 days
Payback
2–3 saved leads a month
Task

Sales reps take 5–15 minutes to reply on classifieds marketplaces, the lead goes cold, and 70–80% of chats never reach the CRM

Solution

An AI sales rep answers chats on 3 car listing sites, social media and the website and hands a warm lead to the CRM

Result

Replies to buyers in 30 seconds instead of 5–15 minutes, 60–80% fewer lost leads; operators removed from 5 channels

The problem

Where a car dealership loses leads on classifieds.

  • Sales reps physically can't reply on classifieds within 5–15 minutes. The lead goes cold, and competitors outbid the listing.
  • 70–80% of conversations never reach the CRM. Sales reps "forget" to copy contacts over by hand after their shift.
  • Nobody listens to customers' voice messages on classifieds amid the flow. Key leads who are ready to buy get lost.
  • There's no way to track which platform actually brings leads. There's no end-to-end analytics by brand, account, or channel.
  • Silent leads (a customer asked a question and disappeared): sales reps have no time to get back to them 1–3 days later, and that's where real money is.

How it works

Five steps, repeated for every buyer message.

  1. The message reaches the AI sales rep instantly

    Every inbound buyer message on the classifieds marketplaces, social media, or the dealership's website reaches the AI agent within seconds.

  2. Voice messages are converted to text

    If a customer sends a voice message, it's transcribed automatically and handled in the same flow. Nothing is missed.

  3. Talks like a live rep with a human name

    The AI answers from the dealership's knowledge base: car specs, promotions, loan terms, showroom address. Nothing made up: only what's in the dealership's knowledge base.

  4. Creates a deal and notifies a sales rep

    Once it gets a phone number, it creates a deal in the dealership's CRM automatically and sends the lead to a sales rep in Telegram. The contact doesn't have time to go cold.

  5. Follows up with silent leads after 30 minutes

    If a customer asked a question and disappeared, the AI sends a follow-up message after 30 minutes. No potential buyer gets lost.

Capabilities

What the solution includes.

Understands voice messages

Customers' voice messages are transcribed automatically and handled as text. No potentially hot lead goes unanswered.

Remembers the conversation context

The AI handles the conversation like a single sales rep: it remembers which car was discussed, which terms came up, and what the customer already asked.

End-to-end analytics

All conversations, leads, and conversion broken down by brand, platform, and account. You can see which channel and which model actually bring deals.

Closes conversations by rule

It ends the conversation on its own once it gets a phone number, when the customer declines, or when the sales rep is silent, so "hanging" conversations don't pile up.

Failure monitoring

Every channel is checked automatically. On any failure, the administrator gets a Telegram alert. No need to check by hand.

Several dealerships on one platform

Supports several car dealerships and brands on one engine. Rolling out to a new dealership means changing settings, not building from scratch.

Follow-up touches

Silent leads don't get lost: after 30 minutes, the AI tries again. Sales reps don't need to keep track of whom to call back.

Dashboard in Google Sheets

All conversations, leads, and conversion are exported to a spreadsheet. Transparent for the head of sales, marketing, and the owner.

Economics

Before and after in one table.

What changesBeforeAfter
Reply time on classifieds 5–15 minutes or more under 30 seconds
Covering 5 channels 1–2 sales reps per channel one AI agent for all
Voice messages get lost transcribed and handled
Silent leads forgotten automatic follow-up

Economics

At a single dealership, the solution replaces operators on five channels at once, taking five salaries off the payroll. It pays for itself with 2–3 saved leads per month.

Who it's for

Where the solution works.

For car dealerships selling 100+ cars per month and listing on two or more classifieds sites, where every unread message is a lost deal.

National dealer networks "Pre-owned premium" chains Regional car dealerships New car dealerships Multi-brand showrooms Dealerships on 2+ classifieds sites

What sets it apart

Why this isn't an off-the-shelf chat aggregator.

Not a chat aggregator

Unlike typical chat aggregators, this is an AI sales rep with a knowledge base that runs the conversation by the dealership's script instead of merging windows into one.

Not a black-box SaaS

The client has full control over the logic, the knowledge base, and the data. The standard engine rolls out to new dealerships easily, without rewriting.

A proven platform

The same engine runs for 3+ independent clients. Rolling out means changing settings, not building from scratch.
