Leads are the lifeblood of your business. Your website is the absolute best source for the generation of leads, and it’s important that you understand the techniques used to generate them.
Gamification is no game: it’s a proven methodology for increasing your leads.
Modern shoppers are internet savvy, and only growing more so. Getting leads from them requires a bit of finesse. Asking for sign-ups out of the blue isn’t an effective way to capture information from most visitors. It hasn’t stopped people from trying, but you wind up harvesting a tiny fraction of the leads you might otherwise get with a refined strategy.
According to a recent study by CarGurus, over 42% of shoppers surveyed say that they wished they could see their monthly payment before visiting a dealership’s website – enter Apex from DealerOn.
Step-By-Step Payment Plans
DealerOn’s Apex uses a subtler approach by gamifying the process of submitting a lead and giving your shoppers what they are looking for. Apex is a native application built right into your websites that allows your customers to browse your inventory and design a payment plan that works for them. Everything from customizing credit scores to down payments and terms to accessories and warranties.
Apex Digital Retail keeps your shoppers engaged by allowing them to tailor their loan offers based on their unique needs.
Apex allows customers to tinker with their payments, and at every stage, they are prompted for more information, steadily building their lead. Spending time on the payment customization process means customers are more likely to move to the next step. Before they know it, they’ve built a lead so detailed it only requires a minimal amount of effort on your part to close each sale. You give them transparency and options while getting extremely valuable lead data in return.
