The High Cost of Missed Car Buyer Calls
After-Hours Calls from High-Intent Buyers Go Unanswered, Missing Critical BDC Window
With 65% of new vehicle leads not contacted within 24 hours—especially after 6 PM and on weekends—Auto Dealerships (New) lose valuable front-end gross opportunities. For example, a 2024 Foureyes benchmark report shows that 42% of inbound calls after 5 PM go unanswered, resulting in missed test drive bookings and lost sales momentum. These unmet leads often convert to competitors, especially when buyers are researching specific models like the 2025 Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 Hybrid.
3:05 Average Hold Time Drives 31.8% of Prospects to Hang Up Before Connecting
At many Auto Dealerships (New), the average call hold time of 3 minutes and 5 seconds—well above the industry benchmark of under 90 seconds—leads to 31.8% of callers disconnecting before reaching a sales consultant. This is especially problematic during peak hours (10 AM–2 PM) when BDC teams are overwhelmed with 120+ daily inbound call volume. The result? Lost lead engagement and reduced call connection rate, directly impacting monthly front-end gross.
14.1% of New Sales Leads Never Logged into CRM, Breaking the Follow-Up Chain
A staggering 14.1% of new sales leads—equivalent to 1 in 7 inquiries—fail to be logged into the CRM system at Auto Dealerships (New), often due to BDC staff overload or manual entry errors. This creates a critical gap in lead engagement, especially for leads from web form drop-off or spam-likely calls. Without CRM tracking, follow-up is impossible, and 68% of these unlogged leads never receive a personalized outreach, resulting in a direct loss of potential front-end gross.

Real Results from Real Businesses
“Our BDC was maxed out—handling 140+ inbound calls daily during peak weeks—but we were still losing 30% of leads. After switching to Answrr, we now capture every after-hours call, book test drives instantly, and log every lead into our CRM. In just 90 days, our test drive conversion rate jumped from 28% to 40%, and we’ve added $62,000 in front-end gross from leads we’d previously missed. It’s like having a second BDC team working 24/7.”

“I was skeptical about AI answering calls—especially for high-value buyers—but the Rime Arcana voice is so natural, even our most experienced sales consultants couldn’t tell the difference. Now, every lead, including those from web form drop-off and spam-likely calls, gets a personalized response and is logged into our CRM within seconds. Our BDC team now focuses on closing, not chasing. CRM engagement has increased by 55% in three months.”
Linda Chen
BDC Director, Horizon Auto Group (New), Auto Dealerships (New)
“We used to lose 40% of after-hours calls from serious buyers—especially on Fridays and weekends—because no one was available. Now, Answrr answers every call, books appointments in real time, and sends confirmation emails with calendar invites. Last month alone, we booked 87 test drives from after-hours leads, and 63% of those buyers purchased. It’s not just a phone system—it’s a revenue driver.”
