Start the introduction at the VDP
The meet-and-greet at the dealership doesn’t have to be the first time your salesperson and shopper meet. Salesperson Connect puts your top-rated salespeople right on Cars.com and Dealer Inspire VDPs, so shoppers can choose who they want to work with before they ever submit a lead. That inquiry routes straight to the salesperson selected, as a warm, high-intent lead.
By the time the shopper walks in, there’s already trust and familiarity built in — leads are 87% more likely to close when shoppers get to choose.
Watch Ella show how Salesperson Connect turns a VDP visit into a warm introduction:
- Feature top-rated salespeople with their bios, experience, and reviews on every VDP
- Let shoppers choose who they want to work with before they ever reach out
- Route each inquiry straight to the salesperson selected, as a warm lead
- Start the in-store visit with trust already built, instead of a cold introduction
