The Dealership Lead-Response Benchmark

This benchmark gives you concrete targets for online lead response — first-reply time, number of follow-up attempts, and time-to-appointment — based on what top-performing dealers actually achieve.

Use it to grade your current process honestly, identify where leads leak out of the funnel, and set standards your team can be measured against. Then close the gaps with automation where speed and consistency matter most.
