The Sales bdc is the engine that transforms online leads into showroom visits and sales. Yet, traditional BDCs—staffed by humans—often struggle with slow follow-up, missed calls, and inconsistent outreach. Enter Dealer AI via BDC.ai, the “#1 Trusted AI BDC for Dealerships,” which automates and amplifies Sales BDC operations—making your team more responsive, efficient, and effective
Why Speed & Consistency Matter
Statistics reveal that responding to a lead within five minutes multiplies contact rates by 100×—yet only ~10% of dealers do this manually. BDC.ai guarantees sub‑60‑second outreach via phone, SMS, or email—anytime, day or night.
Plus, its 24/7 engagement model ensures no call, message, or form submission is ever ignored .
Personalized Engagement at Scale
BDC.ai integrates with your CRM to insert dynamic data—customer name, vehicle details, browsing history—into all communications. This makes bulk outreach feel personal and authentic leaving generic scripts behind.
Voice-First AI & Smart Hot Transfers
Voice remains the leading channel for serious buyers. Yet, up to 32% of calls go unanswered, and 35% of callers hang up due to wait times
BDC.ai’s voice-enabled AI answers instantly, handles natural conversation, identifies buyer intent, and hot-transfers qualified leads to live agents—complete with conversation context—for seamless customer experience, all at approximately $0.01 per minute

Human + AI: The Hybrid Advantage
Some dealers worry AI may come off as “scripted or robotic,” a valid concern echoed by BDC team members. The solution: a hybrid model. Use AI to filter and engage leads while letting humans take over for personalized consultations and negotiations—offering the best of both worlds.
