CONVERSION-STAGE FOLLOW-UP

A test drive is one of the strongest buying signals a dealership gets, which makes it a strange place for follow-up to go quiet. This is about what a considered post-test-drive sequence actually looks like.

WHAT THIS COVERS
What actually changes.
Timing matters more here than volume
A well-timed follow-up in the days after a test drive outperforms a generic drip sequence.
Objections raised on the drive are worth addressing directly
Follow-up that references what the customer actually said performs better than a generic check-in.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before we talk.
When should the first follow-up happen after a test drive?+
Soon enough that the experience is still fresh, typically within a day or two, then a considered sequence after that if there is no response.
What if the customer raised an objection during the drive?+
The follow-up should address it directly rather than ignoring it, which tends to perform better than a generic "just checking in" message.
