Many dealers come home from a show exhausted, behind on everything, and holding a stack of leads they mean to call. Then the week gets busy, and those leads go cold. In fact, about 80% of trade show leads never get a follow up at all.
Don't let that be you. Here's your Monday After the Show checklist:
1. Send a thank you text to every lead. Short, friendly, and personal. It reminds them who you are.
2. Call every lead within 24 to 48 hours. Leads reached in that window are about 60% more likely to convert than those contacted after a week.
3. Use your notes to make it personal. Mention the unit they liked, their trade, or the trip they're planning.
4. Tag show leads in your CRM. Track how many turn into appointments and sales so you know which shows are worth it.
5. Add them to your email list. Not everyone buys right away. Stay helpful and stay top of mind.
TradeCycle and PayCycle leads come with real info like trade values, payment ranges, names, and phone numbers, so your follow up always has something useful to say.
