AI sales follow-up for dealerships, the moment a lead arrives.
The moment an inbound lead reaches the store, AUTONOMi's LANE follows up — by text and email, in the dealership's own voice, about the exact vehicle the shopper asked for. It keeps following up over a multi-touch cadence and hands a warm lead to the team when it's ready, so no raised hand goes cold waiting for a callback.
What is AI sales follow-up for a dealership?
AI sales follow-up is software that works a dealership's leads for it — reaching out the moment a shopper raises their hand, then following up again and again until the shopper responds or the lead is clearly done. For a car store, most lost deals aren't lost on price; they're lost to slow or stalled follow-up. AUTONOMi's LANE closes that gap by handling the follow-up itself, in the store's voice, on inbound leads only.
How does LANE follow up with a dealership's leads?
LANE works inbound leads end to end — it doesn't cold-call or replace the BDC.
Follows up as the lead arrives
When an inbound lead comes in, LANE reaches out right away by text and email, so the shopper hears back while they're still thinking about the car — not days later.
Multi-touch nurture cadence
LANE keeps the thread going over a sequence of touches, picking up where the conversation left off, so a lead that didn't answer the first message isn't abandoned.
TCPA-compliant texting via Twilio
LANE texts leads through Twilio with TCPA- and CTIA-compliant handling — STOP and HELP keywords and persisted unsubscribe state — and follows up with inbound leads only, never cold outreach.
Warm hand-off to the team
When a lead's intent crosses the line, LANE hands a warm, in-context conversation to a salesperson. It works alongside the BDC — it doesn't replace it.
Does LANE cold-call or cold-text prospects?
No. LANE works inbound leads only — shoppers who have already raised their hand with the store. It never cold-calls or cold-texts a list, and its texting runs through Twilio with TCPA- and CTIA-compliant STOP and HELP handling and persisted unsubscribe state. The engine is built to follow up with people who asked, not to interrupt people who didn't.
Does LANE replace the dealership's BDC?
No. LANE takes the repetitive, time-sensitive part — the instant first response and the multi-touch nurture — off the BDC's plate, then hands a warm conversation back to a salesperson when the shopper is ready. It makes the BDC faster and more consistent rather than replacing the people in it.
Built for car dealerships and dealer groups — a single rooftop or a multi-rooftop group. Every store runs its own inventory-anchored campaigns, content and follow-up, with consistent governance and reporting across the group.
AI sales follow-up, answered
What is AI sales follow-up for a dealership?
It's software that works a store's leads automatically — reaching out when a shopper raises their hand and following up over multiple touches until they respond. AUTONOMi's LANE does this on inbound leads by text and email, in the dealership's voice, then hands a warm lead to a salesperson.
How fast does LANE follow up with a new lead?
LANE follows up as the inbound lead arrives, by text and email, so the shopper hears back while the vehicle is still on their mind, and it keeps following up over a multi-touch cadence rather than stopping after one unanswered message.
Does LANE cold-call or cold-text people?
No. LANE works inbound leads only — shoppers who already raised their hand with the store. Its texting runs through Twilio with TCPA- and CTIA-compliant STOP and HELP handling and persisted unsubscribe state. It never cold-calls or texts a purchased list.
Does LANE replace my BDC or sales team?
No. LANE handles the instant first response and the repetitive nurture, then hands a warm conversation to a salesperson once intent is high. It works alongside the dealership's BDC and sales team, taking the volume and the speed off their plate.
Does LANE connect to my CRM or DMS?
LANE doesn't integrate with a DMS or CRM through an API. It's anchored to the dealership and its live inventory — read by scraping the store's own website and OEM sources — and follows up on the inbound leads AUTONOMi's own marketing generates.
How is AI sales follow-up priced?
LANE is part of the AUTONOMi platform — a flat monthly fee from $999 to $2,999 depending on scope, with ad spend never marked up. There's no per-lead or per-message charge.
