On 'Every Call' you will have the ability to adopt:

  • LLM-Based Call Coaching: With the press of a button, provide expert Call Coaching on inbound and outbound Sales calls. The large language models utilized are specifically trained around Car Wars' CRISP methodology and appointment-booking best practices.

  • Refined Call Alerts: Car Wars' redesigned Call Alert emails allow access to the most crucial call information. Quickly review call outcomes, call recaps, coaching notes, ad source information, and customer details to take prompt action on every call.
  • Cari Phone Assist for Service Scheduling: Cari, in her smartest role yet, expertly handles and books service appointments, freeing up your advisors to provide top-notch customer service for those with vehicles already in the drive. Prioritizing seamless Connections, Cari ensures that every caller has the option for a warm handoff to a real human whenever an extra layer of assistance is needed.

  • CRISP Reporting Metrics for Text Messages: Recognizing the increasing preference for text communication among dealers, Car Wars introduces CRISP for Texting. Equip staff to treat every text message opportunity with the same dedication as phone calls, ensuring immediate responses, appointments are requested, firm appointments are set, and staff re-engages with cold text leads. CRISP for Texting analyzes every text conversation, providing insight into staff performance.
  • Advanced Texting Integration with DriveCentric: For dealerships using DriveCentric, Car Wars' DriveCentric Texting Integration ensures that text conversations pass through Car Wars for CRISP reporting.
