## Problem

Maher Chevrolet needed a better way to engage internet leads, including after hours and on holidays.

## How to do this

1. Podium (no public price, talk to sales)
2. Your internet leads
3. A calendar for test drives

## Verdict

The lot keeps booking test drives after it closes.

## Tools

- [Podium (AI Employee Jerry)](https://www.podium.com/): Texts shoppers and books the test drive


## Result

'The demo blew us away. It's like having a 24-hour BDC agent available after hours and on holidays.' Podium reports 134 test drives in 30 days, 57 AI-influenced sales, 38% of test drives scheduled without a human, replies within 60 seconds, and the store surpassed 200 shown appointments for the first time since 2024.
