Impel sells AI-powered engagement (chat, follow-up, merchandising interactions) across the dealership shopper journey. Its leadership is a fixture in industry AI panels, and its published stats frequently cite Cox Automotive's Car Buyer Journey research.

Who it's for: Best fit: groups wanting one AI engagement layer across chat, follow-up, and merchandising instead of point tools.

What to ask in the Sales & Lead Follow-Up demo

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