What to ask in the Sales & Lead Follow-Up demo
- Show me the agent answering a direct out-the-door price question on a live store. Not a slide, the actual reply.
- Does it read live inventory and incentives, or a nightly copy?
- How does it decide when to stop following up, and can I tune it?
- Does it write full conversation history to my CRM, or a summary?
- What percentage of appointments it books actually show? Measured how?
