Advent enables you and your management to closely audit your sales staff’s usage of the software, making sure you get the most out of your investment.

Advent CRM Control
In the automotive retail world, minimizing the cost of attracting and retaining customers is one of the keys to profitability.
The costs associated with finding new customers means that every customer contact should be maximized, to ensure the greatest impact throughout the process. The more opportunities that a customer has to conduct business with your dealership the better, and one way of achieving this is by capturing and integrating leads through the various sales channels: Internet, phone, and showroom ups.
And the more channels you have, the greater the need to automate the interaction with your customer base.
Advent CRM has separate control modules to make sure no opportunity is overlooked. Built in the system are the following:
• Prospect control
• Opportunity control
• Internet control
• Retention control
• Service control
Advent CRM utilizes event driven activity to maximize the quality and quantity of customer touch-points, dealership workflow, and employee efficiency.
CRM Control replaces the paper trail of sticky notes, paper desk calendars, and fallible human memory with an automated, result-driven system that makes interacting with prospects and customers convenient, more personal, and makes YOU more money.
How does it work?
Convenient lead capture without data entry.
Advent captures data on your customers from first touch, and creates a complete client profile. Data can come from multiple sources including:
| • Scanned from a driver’s license;
• Inbound phone leads; • Outbound telephony/call tracking integration; • Internet lead sources; • Manual entry; • Management work plans and the desk log; • Pulled from service transaction records. |
Advent gives your Sales guys a unique “Close the Sale” blueprint
Yup, just pour and stir. Our system will take the prospect profiles it created and generate a daily follow-up plan for each sales person to execute. That includes a list of their daily activities- from follow-up calls, e-mails, and letters to scheduled appointments. Complete systematic follow-up
Effortless Sales team management.
You will gain unparallelled control over follow-up and the entire Sales operation like never before.
Follow-up isn’t just time driven- it’s results driven.
Your entire staff, with you at the helm, is now in alignment to the collective goals of the dealerships.
The orchestration is automated so that your Sales guys are prompted to make the right contact at the right time, using phone scripts, letters, and e-mails that are customized for your dealership and personalized for each customer and sales cycle.
No more guesswork. No more follow-up failure.
Follow-up is completely customizable, so you can choose to reach out to customers based on schedules unique to your dealership.
Customization + Automation = Staggering Efficiency and Effectiveness
Advent includes a sophisticated campaign tool that automates the entire email process from:
- Sending out e-mail and letter campaigns
- Generating lists and scripts for phone-based campaigns
- Farming your database by whatever parameters you wish.
Are you starting to see the possibilities?
Painless customer tracking
CRM Control is tightly integrated with Sale Control, Inventory Control, and you DMS service data, so information entered in one module is immediately propagated throughout the entire Advent system, eliminating dual entry of data and saving you time and eliminating entry errors.
That’s right, you enter data for a prospect ONCE. The rest is taken care of.
It’s the end of redundant data-entry into disjointed systems.
Each salesman is 3 times more effective.
Because it automates so many tasks, CRM Control can help any member of your staff to be more productive- no matter how long they’ve worked for you or how much experience they have in automotive retailing.
What’s more, your sales staff won’t be keeping their own address books, so turnover won’t affect your ability to contact customers. And you’ll be able to effectively manage and evaluate your sales staff’s contact activity because they’re all using the same contact processes and schedules.
Capture data with swiss watch accuracy.
Your staff can quickly and easily capture showroom ups by scanning a customer’s driver’s license, eliminating data entry errors. Internet and phone based leads are automatically parsed and entered into customer profiles, again eliminating human error.
New-found profitability.
Prospect Control tracks all prospects and customers unlike ever before. The ability to make consistent, timely and informed follow-up on all leads, WILL turn more prospects into buyers.
