Acquiring Smarter, Faster — Mike Manning’s Results

For the Executive Manager of Phil Long Dealerships, SKAIVISION’s camera-to-text feature has transformed the vehicle acquisition process.

Customers now receive a personalized message directly from Mike — a soft, relationship-building introduction that invites his team to appraise the vehicle before the service bill is even paid.

The impact? Faster, more cost-effective acquisitions, reduced reliance on auctions like Manheim and Adesa, and lowered floor plan expenses. By engaging customers before they leave, Mike’s team secures more vehicles at better prices, creating a true win-win for dealerships and customers alike.

His advice: “If you’re looking at SKAIVISION, run, don’t walk. Reach out today to start acquiring inventory faster, cheaper, and with less hassle.”

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 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.
