SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9 -- Autobase, Inc., the leading marketing and sales CRM provider for car dealers nationwide and a division of Dominion Enterprises, today announced the integration of R. L. Polk & Co.'s Polk Lead Scoring with the Autobase Internet Lead Management tool.
The agreement enables Autobase to provide its customers with an additional tool to identify car buyers who are most likely to purchase a new or used vehicle. Internet leads are captured from within the Autobase Internet Lead Management tool, which is fully integrated within its core CRM application. Autobase then leverages Polk's industry leading automotive intelligence and sophisticated analytics to help dealerships prioritize Internet sales follow up activities and determine the likelihood and timeliness of a lead converting to a sale.
"With this integration, Autobase dealers can easily qualify their Internet customers' interest and readiness to buy a vehicle. As a result, sales revenues will increase and a distinct advantage will be set over their dealership's competition," said Bryan Anderson, founder of Autobase, Inc. "The Polk Score is easily accessible to the Autobase dealer and takes only seconds to process within the application."
Polk Lead Scoring enhances Internet leads with a wide variety of proprietary automotive information and advanced demographic and lifestyle information, ensuring the most sophisticated and powerful lead scoring available in the industry. Polk Lead Scoring also includes reporting and analytical capabilities with particular emphasis on leveraging Polk's ability to evaluate lead performance at the lead source, make and dealer level.
"We are excited to work with Autobase to help automobile dealers sell more vehicles," said Andrew Price, Polk's vice-president of Automotive Retail Solutions.
