Frequently Asked Questions

What can Podium do for dealership sales teams?

Jerry, Podium’s AI sales agent, responds to every inbound lead in about 36 seconds across text, webchat, Facebook, Instagram, and email — then books test drives directly. A mid-sized midwestern group set 607 test drives in 30 days across 15 locations. Your sales reps focus on closing; Jerry handles everything before they show up.

How does Jerry book test drives?

Jerry checks your live inventory, qualifies the buyer, and writes the appointment directly to your calendar without any human handoff required. At Stuart Powell Ford Mazda, 11 of 25 test drives in one month were set fully autonomously. Jerry books around the clock, so after-hours leads don’t sit until morning.

Does Jerry follow up on leads that go cold?

Yes. Jerry runs automated follow-up workflows at any cadence you want, typically 30, 60, and 90-day intervals, and re-engages no-shows after a missed test drive. In a sample of 100 rooftops, 39% of appointments came from Jerry’s follow-up on leads that had already gone cold.

Does Jerry write back to my CRM automatically?

Jerry syncs every call, conversation, and appointment summary to your customer’s profile so your advisors and sales reps always have full context without re-keying data. This means your team isn’t chasing information across CDK, VinSolutions, or DealerSocket when a customer walks in.

How does Jerry mine the database for equity and trade-in opportunities?

Jerry connects to CDK Drive or Dealertrack and triggers outreach when a customer hits a lease-end, warranty expiration, loan payoff, or equity signal. It then runs a real text conversation. He handles objections, answers questions, and books the appointment, rather than sending a one-time template and hoping for a reply.

What third-party lead sources does Jerry connect to?

Jerry picks up leads from SMS, webchat, Facebook, Instagram, and email the moment they come in and responds in about 36 seconds. It also connects to third-party lead forms so no inquiry, regardless of source, sits waiting for a rep to notice it.

Can Jerry surface OEM offers and iPacket links in conversations?

Jerry is inventory-aware and can be trained via AI Studio to reference specific vehicle details, VDP content, and iPacket links in conversations. You write the playbook in plain English, e.g., “include the iPacket link when a customer asks about a specific unit,” and Jerry follows it for every conversation automatically.
