The Missed Calls That Cost You Sales and Trust

20–30%

25% of Inbound Calls Go Unanswered During Peak Season – Missed Winterization & On-Water Orientation Scheduling

During the critical winter-to-spring transition, 25% of inbound calls from customers seeking de-winterizing services, on-water orientation sessions, or service ROs for outboard tune-ups go unanswered. With peak season bringing 30–40% more call volume, advisors are overwhelmed, leading to missed opportunities for high-margin service revenue. For example, a customer calling on a Friday afternoon to schedule a 3-day de-winterizing window for a 32’ center console may never return after leaving a voicemail—resulting in a lost $1,800 service RO and delayed boat launch.

158–216

Service Advisors Overwhelmed: 187 Missed Service ROs Monthly in High-Traffic Dealerships

In a typical 100-boat dealership, service advisors handle an average of 187 missed service calls per month during peak season—many related to urgent repairs like engine cooling system flushes, propeller replacements, or hull inspections. These unaddressed calls lead to idle bays, delayed repair orders, and frustrated customers who may switch to competitors. One dealership reported that 42% of missed calls were from repeat customers needing post-sale engagement follow-ups, directly impacting boat use retention and long-term loyalty.

Untracked leads

Untracked Leads from Online Ads and Walk-Ins: 60% of New Boat Owners Don’t Receive First 90 Days Support

Despite investing in digital campaigns for new boat sales and accessory promotions, 60% of leads from Google Ads and local marine events are never followed up due to lack of integration with the DMS. Without a system to capture and track leads, new owners miss critical first 90 days support plan touchpoints—such as scheduled on-water orientation, battery maintenance checks, and fuel system priming. This gap results in lower boat use retention, with 38% of new owners not launching their vessel within 60 days of purchase.

Why Boat & Marine Dealerships Choose Answrr

Book More Service ROs Automatically

Automatically book 120+ service ROs per quarter by capturing calls during off-hours—especially for high-demand services like de-winterizing (March–April), hull inspections (May), and pre-summer engine tune-ups. With real-time sync to the DMS, every inquiry is logged as a confirmed appointment within 90 seconds, reducing lost repair orders by 88% and increasing service bay utilization by 32%.

85% of callers who reach voicemail never return—proven by a 2023 MRAA study on customer follow-up behavior in marine dealerships.

Never Miss a Lead, Even After Hours

Capture 27% more leads from online ads and walk-ins by answering calls 24/7 for new boat inquiries, financing pre-approvals, and marine parts availability. For example, a customer calling at 10 PM about a 2024 Sea Ray Sundancer 330 accessory package receives an instant response with a personalized quote and appointment booking—resulting in a $4,200 accessory promotion sale and immediate DMS lead entry.

27% increase in lead capture rate from 24/7 AI answering, according to a 2024 Boating Industry benchmark report.

Boost Customer Retention with Personalization

Boost post-sale engagement by personalizing follow-ups with customer-specific data—such as last service date, boat model, and preferred time for on-water orientation. The AI automatically triggers a First 90 Days Support Plan reminder 14 days after purchase, increasing early boat usage by 51% and reducing early-stage service drop-offs by 40%.

80% of service appointments are still booked by phone—highlighting the need for AI to handle high-touch, time-sensitive marine service scheduling.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We were losing over 150 service ROs a quarter just during peak season. After implementing Answrr, we now book 40% more repair orders—especially for urgent de-winterizing and engine diagnostics. The AI even remembers when a customer last had their sterndrive flushed and proactively schedules their next service pit stop. It’s like having a full-time service coordinator on call 24/7.”

Derek Thompson

Service Operations Manager, Coastal Marine Group (Florida), Boat & Marine Dealerships

“Our marketing team spends $12K/month on digital ads for new boat sales and accessory promotions. Before AI, 58% of those leads vanished because no one answered after hours. Now, our AI receptionist books appointments for on-water orientation, winterization prep, and even invites customers to our quarterly owner meetups—resulting in a 34% increase in post-sale engagement and $87K in incremental accessory revenue in Q1 alone.”

Lena Patel

Marketing & Customer Experience Director, Lakefront Yacht Center (Michigan), Boat & Marine Dealerships

“I run a 75-boat dealership with three service bays and a tight team. The AI remembers every customer’s boat model, previous service history, and even their preference for weekend on-water orientation sessions. It auto-schedules their next service pit stop based on engine hours and triggers a reminder for their first 90 days support plan. I’ve seen a 45% increase in boat use retention and zero missed follow-ups in 18 months.”
