The Most Important Metric You’re Not Tracking in Car Sales | Industry Spotlight

Welcome to Industry Spotlight—a focused series hosted by Sam D’Arc, highlighting standout dealerships and innovative companies, and exploring the trends driving success in today’s automotive market. Today, Sam sits down with David Steinberg, CEO and Founder of Foureyes.

This episode of the Car Dealership Guy Podcast is brought to you by Foureyes:

Foureyes - No one buys a car because AI bombards them about test drives. They buy when they find the right match on your lot. That's why Foureyes built inventory-based text messaging -- to match your buyers to your vehicles. It sends updates about price changes, new arrivals, and suggested alternatives for vehicles your prospects want. Foureyes' AI even answers those nitty-gritty questions about trim levels, engine specs, heated seats, and more. Try it for free or book time with us at NADA (booth #3563)!
