I have been helping dealership sell more vehicles for over 35 years using credit marketing.
I was also the marketing writer for World of Special Finance Magazine (later called Special Finance Magazine) for over 15 years. I have spoken at many major national automotive events.
I am so proud of Know Before You Go! This is the best and least expensive lead generation program I have ever created. I know you will love the program!
Customer comes to the dealership looking to purchase a vehicle. The salesperson helps them find the right vehicle, takes them on a test drive, and negotiates the price. It’s time to take their credit application and send them to the F&I office. The F&I Manager pulls their credit and finds that they have a 520 score. The F&I Manager informs them that they have bad credit and can’t be helped. So much time wasted by the salesperson, the sales manager, and the F&I Manager. The customer leaves embarrassed and disappointed.
Salesperson: Welcome to Anytown Motors! What type of vehicle are you looking for?
Customer: I want an SUV.
Salesperson: Great! We have lots of SUVs! Do you have a budget in mind?
Customer: I would like to stay under $15,000.00.
Salesperson: Are you paying cash or would you like to finance?
Customer: I would like to finance.
Salesperson: How’s your credit? Good, bad, or somewhere in between?
Customer: I’m not sure. I’ve had some problems in the past.
Salesperson: Not a problem! Let’s find out. We have a fantastic program called Know Before You Go. It usually takes less than a minute and we will know where to start. Just give me your cell phone number and I will send you a link. Just answer a few questions and within 60 seconds we will have the answers. This is what’s known as a soft pull on our credit, so there is no impact on your credit score. And you won’t need to enter your social security number or date of birth.
Salesperson sends his/her personal Know Before You Go link. In less than a couple of minutes the salesperson sees that the consumer has a Subprime score.
Salesperson: Okay, we have options for you. We need to meet with our Special Finance Manager first. He/she will help you determine the best financing options for you.
Or
Salesperson: I don’t want to waste your time here. Our dealership does not have Subprime lenders. Thank you for stopping in.
No more time wasted showing a vehicle to a prospect that can’t buy. Or, if you do have financing options for Subprime consumers, time wasted showing them a vehicle that they won’t qualify for.
Why would you do it the old way when you could use the Know Before You Go way?
Benefits:
1. The sales desk will immediately receive notification of the lead and have the credit score.
2. Each salesperson can have their own link, so the sales manager knows who is working with this customer.
3. Have a Spanish speaking customer on the lot? Not a problem with Know Before You Go! The customer just taps the “en espanol” button and all text turns to Spanish. The desk will be informed that this customer’s preferred language is Spanish.
Your Salesperson Know Before You Go link customers can be treated correctly by your CRM instead of the CRM assuming that it’s a new lead that hasn’t been into the dealership.

Know Before You Go is the perfect tool to reactivate these lost leads and prospects. Just send a text or email blast offering a FREE credit score and instant prequalification. It’s inexpensive and easy! World Hyundai in the Chicago market used this method to generate 295 leads in less than three hours. They sold 5 vehicles the next day and had plenty of leads to work for weeks! And here’s the best part: they spent less than $1,000.00 including the cost of the text blast. That’s $3.39 per lead!!! Where else can you get a quality lead with a credit score for just $3.39?
