Real campaigns. Counted from the records.

A Ford store in Western Canada

1,157 of 1,407 voicemails delivered over a three-day private sale. The misses came back as credits.

Ten campaigns over three days in October, read from the campaign records on November 4. One store’s campaigns: your results depend on your list and your offer.

Start in three steps. Nothing to install.

A campaign starts with a list you already have and a voice from your store.

  1. Step 1 Send your list

    Export it from your DMS: names, numbers and vehicles. The team sets aside any number outside Canada.

    A CSV from your DMS
  2. Step 2 Record a voice

    A manager reads one short script. Every voicemail then says each customer’s name and vehicle in that voice.

    A 40-second read
  3. Step 3 Approve and send

    A person on the team checks the campaign, you sign off, and it goes out inside calling hours.

Questions

Ask us on a call

It’s built to reach out with a voicemail: every customer on a list you pick hears your voice or your team’s, saying their name and their vehicle, and their callbacks ring your store. Most of the tools here are built to answer the customers who reach you, or to follow up by text and email.

No. The Call Guy doesn’t need to connect to any of them: you send a list from your DMS, callbacks come to your store, and each callback and text reply goes to your CRM as a lead.

From each company’s own pages, with the day they were read and a link to every page. Products change, so check their sites for today’s details.
