RVT.com Launches Follow-Up Assistant to Increase Dealer Lead Conversion Rates SUMAS, WA, January 13, 2015 -- RVT.com, the leading classifieds ad site for new and used RVs for sale, travel and 5th wheel trailers, motor homes and campers, has launched a new service — RVT Follow-Up Assistant — designed to help buyers and sellers connect better online and boost lead conversion rates for RV dealers.

In-house research by RVT.com has shown that one of the top complaints among site users is a lack of response from RV dealers.  The RVT Follow-Up Assistant is a virtual customer service representative who contacts leads within 24 hours to assist in the buyer-seller connection.  The RVT Follow-Up Assistant first determines whether or not the inquiry has been responded to and, if not, gathers additional information from the inquiring party to pass back to the dealer.

“The typical RV dealer is handling so many leads, that there are times when they may not have all the necessary resources to respond in a timely fashion, or the lead may be missed altogether,” said Shawn Friesen, RVT.com vice president.  “We want to ensure that these leads never ‘fall through the cracks’ and that consumers who are interested in making a purchase are able to make the connection with a dealer – quickly and conveniently.”

The RVT Follow-Up Assistant also helps dealers determine buyer intent through email contact with each prospect. Friesen noted that during the two-week beta phase of the new service, the RVT Follow-Up Assistant was able to engage over one thousand leads, assist in obtaining hundreds of new phone numbers and set up more than fifty appointments.

Friesen said that the new service would also flag RV dealers who neglect responding to inquiries, enabling RVT to take appropriate action to ensure visitor satisfaction remains high, and the site remain a top destination for RV consumers.

The RVT Follow-Up Assistant program is included in all RVT.com Dealer Listing packages at no additional cost.
