Consolidate leads from sites, like Autotrader and CarGurus, and when someone fills out an inquiry, we’ll send them a text to automatically start a conversation with your AI BDC.

Capture prospects’ name and number from your site and instantly kick off a conversation to secure the deal.

Podium’s AI is the best rep we’ve ever had—never sleeps, never eats, and can handle a hundred conversations simultaneously.  AI can do 100 to 200 times the work my individual reps can do

"It's incredible what our partnership in Podium has done to modernize our dealerships. Not only is it simple for my sales and service staff to communicate with customers, but it's just as easy for the customer to receive direct links to all of our review sites and not have to go out and try to find them."

"Over the past four years, we have seen a substantial increase in net profit, market share, and customer satisfaction scores. We have been named the number one Ford dealer in New Mexico on multiple occasions, a title previously held by our competitor for 28 years."
