Full Throttle.ai Alternative for Car Dealerships

Predicting who might buy is one approach. LeadLocate delivers local shoppers who already raised their hands, answers them in seconds and follows each one to the desk.

Full Throttle.ai is an automotive marketing technology company. Its public positioning centers on artificial intelligence and consumer data used to predict which households in a market are likely to buy a vehicle soon, then directing advertising toward them and measuring how that advertising relates to vehicle sales. Stores and their agencies typically use it to plan and evaluate media spend.

That approach suits a store or agency whose main question is where to spend the next advertising dollar. The platform works on the targeting and measurement side, and the store's own CRM, phones and sales team handle the shoppers who eventually respond.

Products, packaging and pricing change over time. Confirm current scope, pricing and terms with Full Throttle.ai directly before you decide, and treat this page as a list of questions to bring to that conversation.

When a GM or marketing manager calls us about moving on from a targeting and measurement tool, the reasons are usually specific.

Prediction is not a conversation. Knowing that a household is likely to be in market is useful, and a salesperson still needs a name, a number and a reason to call. Stores want shoppers who filled out a form and asked to hear from them.

The sales floor wants something to work today. Media reports speak to the marketing budget. The desk wants leads in the inbox this morning, answered in minutes.

Measurement lives in another system. When the attribution report sits outside the CRM, the sales team never sees it and the marketing team never sees the follow up. Stores want source and sale on one record.

Terms. Stores want to prove a lead source on their own numbers, month to month, without a long agreement.

Leave your number and a lead specialist calls you back to answer your questions about pricing, coverage, and setup. Mon - Sat, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Pacific.

Shoppers who raised their hands. In Leads Manager your store draws its territory with the zone editor, reviews zip stats and a market scan, chooses the campaign type, writes the prescreening questions and sets Custom Offers, then previews sample ads with See Samples. Our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan. Every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, prescreened at capture with the questions you choose and backed by a replacement review, so a bad lead costs you nothing. Buyer leads are a mix of VIN specific shoppers and people describing what they want, and opt in seller leads come from local owners who asked for an offer on their vehicle.

A CRM that answers first. Automated Templates send the right first text or email per lead feed the moment a lead arrives, Texting Chatbots handle the first back and forth after hours, and Follow Up Processes run the drip that follows.

A phone system on the same record. Tracking numbers per source, a browser softphone, recording with transcription and Call Alerts on the keywords your store chooses.

Desking where the lead lives. DealTracker starts a deal from the lead, with cash, finance and lease structures, a 50 state tax matrix and customer deal pages with e-signature.

Features, packaging and pricing change. Confirm anything that drives your decision with each vendor directly before you sign.

A shopper who fills out a form is at the most interested moment they will ever have with your store. Every minute after that, the interest cools and a competitor gets a chance. LeadLocate is built so the first reply goes out before the shopper has put the phone down.

When a lead lands, Automated Templates for that feed send the right first message, by text, email or both. RCS messaging goes out rich and falls back to SMS automatically on any phone that needs it. Texting Chatbots answer the first questions at night and on Sunday. Jax, the bilingual AI assistant inside the CRM, helps a rep write a reply in English or Spanish in seconds.

At the same time the lead is routed. Global lead distribution with rules and round robin assignment place it with the right salesperson, notifications reach that rep by toast, sound, email or text, and Manager Lead Copies put a manager on the feed so a slow response is visible the same hour. Our page on AI lead response software covers how stores set up that first hour.

The Phone Validator and Email Validator show validity dots on the lead, so reps spend their time on numbers that connect.

Any measurement tool can tell you a campaign reached a market. The number a dealer principal cares about is how many cars it sold, and that depends on everything that happened between the lead and the deal.

In LeadLocate the source is stamped on every lead when it arrives: your zone campaigns, website forms connected to your form intake link, tracking numbers assigned per channel, and every feed in the Lead Feeds Manager. Every call with its recording and transcript, every text, MMS, email and voicemail lands on one communications timeline. When the deal is built in DealTracker, it starts from that lead.

The activity, company and management reports then show the full picture by source, salesperson and store, including the follow up that turned an inquiry into an appointment. Visitor analytics inside the CRM add sessions, sources and top pages for the sites you run on the platform. The marketing attribution page walks through how stores read those numbers.

Because leads, conversations and deals share one record, the question of which source earned next month's budget has one answer that the marketing team and the sales desk both trust.

Moving from a targeting tool to a lead platform is mostly setup, and it goes quickly when done in order.

1. Write down the scorecard. Leads by source, first response time, appointments set and sold units by source.
2. Set up the zone. In Leads Manager your store draws its territory, picks the campaign type and writes the prescreening questions. The account is set up for you, usually the same day.
3. Bring your other sources in. Add each third party provider to the Lead Feeds Manager and connect your website forms to your account's form intake link.
4. Move the phones. Assign tracking numbers per source, build the IVR call flow and set the Forward Calls To ring list.
5. Import your customers. Contact import brings your existing list in, ready for follow up campaigns.

Run for a full month and compare the scorecard. Our migration checklist covers each step, and training is included with every plan.

Take the same list into every vendor meeting, ours included, and ask for written answers.

What does our store actually receive each day: a report, or a customer's name and number? Are those customers exclusive to us? How fast does the first reply go out, and who sends it? Does the measurement include what our team did after the lead arrived? What does everything cost together, including media? How long is the agreement, and what is the notice period?

Our answers are on the pricing page: Inbound buyer leads from $799, Marketplace Acquisitions seller leads from $999, the Buyers & Sellers Hybrid Plan from $1,599, CRM Only from $199 and Skip A Month from $199, all month to month. Every plan with leads includes the CRM, because the platform is what receives and delivers them. The what to expect from car sales leads page explains how real shoppers behave, and the recorded demo shows the product without a sales call.

We cannot guarantee lead counts, close rates or sales results, since those depend on your market, your inventory and your team. What we deliver is a steady supply of shoppers who asked to hear from you and a system that answers them first.

Are LeadLocate leads exclusive to our store?

Yes. You draw your territory with the Leads Manager zone editor, and every lead in your zone is delivered to you and only you, prescreened at capture with the questions you choose and backed by a replacement review.

Who runs the advertising?

Your store makes its selections in Leads Manager: zone, campaign type, prescreening questions and Custom Offers. Our team builds and runs the campaigns from those selections on the webXintel Ads Network, included with every plan.

How fast does a new lead get a reply?

Automated Templates send the first text or email for each lead feed the moment a lead arrives, and Texting Chatbots handle the first back and forth after hours.

Can we see which source produced a sale?

Yes. Every lead carries its source, tracking numbers can be assigned per channel, and deals are desked from the same lead, so the reports connect each source to the units it produced.

Do we need an inventory feed or DMS access?

Neither is required to run the platform. If you have a feed, Inventory Link ingests it, and without one it imports inventory from your website.

What does LeadLocate cost?

CRM Only starts at $199 a month. Plans with exclusive local leads start at $799, seller leads from $999 and both together from $1,599, all month to month with no long term contract.

We will map a zone around your store, show the campaign selections in Leads Manager and walk a real lead from first reply to the desk. Month to month, so you decide every month.
