PLANO, Texas – Messaging from a dealer to their consumers have proven to be helpful tools when it comes to buying and selling. Without updating these techniques with how consumers want to communicate paired with quickly accessible data, those older habits can slow the sales cycle and cause sales teams to stumble.

We know time kills deals, and this product was designed with that in mind, having all you need to close a deal quickly.

Fortunately, inLine Text™ from automotive digital marketing innovator AutoRevo has the answer. Their new product eliminates this frustration and lost sales opportunity by connecting consumers with dealers via a superior text-on-the-go, real-time connection.

Consumers visiting dealer websites, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and other third-parties can use inLine Text immediately to start a live text conversation with an actual sales professional, not a chatbot or someone that doesn't understand your dealership or your inventory.

Data shows that the open rate for text messages is 98%, of which 90% are read within three minutes. inLine Text gives dealers the most direct, clutter-free channel to educate, market to, and sell to consumers.

“inLine Text is a much simpler yet data-rich texting tool for car dealers. It auto-populates our CRM and accesses our inventory management system, pushes the salesperson’s business card, directions to the dealership, images, documents, and more to the prospect. Our salespeople love it,” said Mike Anderson, General Manager at Hopper Motorplex, McKinney, Texas.

“We know time kills deals, and this product was designed with that in mind, having all you need to close a deal quickly,” said Ken Roberts, Chief Executive Officer for AutoRevo. “inLine Text is changing the way dealers can communicate with their customers. With real-time actionable information, our dealers can use this application to communicate across many of their advertising mediums in any language.”
