Now that we're using SKAIVISION's camera-to-text option, the customers get a personalized message from me as the general manager and partner of the Chevy store that I would like to acquire their car. And it's a soft introduction. It's almost like throwing a softball to my sales manager that we can go and look at the car while it's still there before the customer pays their service bill. It's a win-win for us, and it's a win-win for the customer.
There's been a big impact to our store by using SKAIVISION. We've lessened our dependency on using the Manheim's and the Adesa's of the world. If you're looking at SKAIVISION, run, don't walk — reach out to them today so that you can acquire inventory faster and at a cheaper rate to lessen your floor plan expenses and acquire more cars.
