Unlocking Efficiency: How the Marketplace Listing Tool Transforms Your Dealership's Internet and BDC Operations

Empower your BDC or Internet department with our Marketplace Listing Tool

In the competitive world of automotive sales, time is money. Internet and Business Development Center (BDC) teams face a barrage of responsibilities—from posting inventory quickly to responding promptly to customer inquiries. This chaotic environment can be tough to navigate. Fortunately, the Marketplace Listing Tool (MLT) simplifies these operations, helping your team work smarter and achieve better results.

The Internet/BDC Challenge

Many dealership Internet and BDC teams waste countless hours manually uploading vehicle listings across multiple platforms. Research indicates that staff can spend up to 20 hours a week just on listing vehicles. This inefficiency drains valuable time and leads to inconsistent postings, decreasing visibility and ultimately resulting in fewer leads.

With team members juggling posting duties, following up with leads, and scheduling appointments, productivity can take a hit. A chaotic work environment can lead not just to stress but also to missed sales opportunities, significantly impacting dealership revenue.

What is the Marketplace Listing Tool (MLT)?

The Marketplace Listing Tool (MLT) is designed exclusively for Internet and BDC teams, transforming the vehicle posting process into a streamlined experience. Here’s how it works:

• One-click posting: MLT allows your team to post vehicles to Facebook Marketplace, local groups, or feeds with just a single click—saving hours of manual effort.

  
  

• AI-generated vehicle descriptions: Forget about spending hours crafting engaging descriptions. MLT automates this process, generating appealing vehicle descriptions while allowing your team to concentrate on engaging with customers.

  
  

• Multi-user logins: The tool supports multiple user logins, enabling your Internet and BDC staff to collaborate efficiently across various tasks.

  
  

• Tracking tools: Managers can monitor activities easily, evaluating results in real-time to ensure everyone contributes effectively to lead generation.

  
  

Types of Vehicles Internet/BDC Teams Can Post with MLT

The versatility of the Marketplace Listing Tool enables your team to list an extensive array of vehicles, such as:

• Cars: both new and pre-owned, from popular models like the Toyota Camry to luxury options like the BMW 5 Series.

  
  

• Trucks: light-duty trucks like the Ford F-150 and heavy-duty options like the Ram 2500.

  
  

• SUVs: from compact models like the Honda CR-V to larger options like the Chevrolet Tahoe.

  
  

• Motorcycles: from brands like Harley-Davidson to Honda, covering a spectrum of styles.

  
  

• Boats and RVs: whether a family-sized RV or a sleek fishing boat.

  
  

This broad capability ensures that no matter your inventory, MLT can help you showcase it effectively.

How MLT Saves Time & Increases Leads

Time Savings: Post Dozens of Vehicles in Minutes

One of the most significant advantages of the Marketplace Listing Tool is the time savings it provides. Instead of spending hours posting vehicles one by one, your team can post dozens of vehicles in just minutes. For example, a dealership using MLT reported reducing their posting time by 90%, allowing staff to reallocate time towards more engaging tasks, like connecting with potential buyers.

Lead Generation: More Visibility on Social = More Inbound Leads

With MLT, your vehicles enjoy increased visibility on social platforms, which translates into more inbound leads. Statistics show that dealerships that regularly post on platforms like Facebook see a 30% increase in inquiries compared to those that don't. The more places your vehicles are posted, the higher the chances of attracting interested buyers.

Appointment Setting: Faster Listings Lead to Quicker Customer Engagement

Faster listings lead to quicker customer engagement. When your team can post vehicles rapidly, they can respond to inquiries swiftly, setting appointments without delay. Research shows that responding to leads within the first hour increases your chances of closing a sale by up to 400%. This responsiveness enhances customer experience and leads to happier, more satisfied clients.
