Referral Lead Follow-Up for Car Dealerships
A referral lead already trusts you before the first message goes out, because a friend or past customer put your name on it, and that trust evaporates fast if the follow-up feels like a form letter. JOEY is the referral lead follow-up built for the individual car salesperson, not a call center. It works every referral the moment it lands in your CRM, sending a personal text and email that acknowledges who sent them and what they are shopping for, then keeps the conversation going until they book or opt out. JOEY does not need a special referral integration, it works from the lead record your CRM already receives, so a warm introduction gets the fast, personal reply it deserves. It is conversational AI, so the message sounds like you, and every touch honors quiet hours and opt-outs automatically.

- A trust-based lead drifts to a dealer who followed up faster.
