ACS Automotive is a division of ACS Cloud Partners a 21-year-old technology solutions distributor (TSD). “TSD” is a fancy way of saying that we hold contracts with numerous suppliers, employ full-time support experts, and sell through third parties such as yourself. In return, you earn commissions or referral fees, depending on how you decide to team up with ACS Automotive.
Perhaps most importantly, we handle all the overhead while you focus on finding and selling to the right prospects (with our help, when you like). The model bears many similarities to how you already operate as an auto broker. You’re simply adding a new revenue stream by combining your auto dealer relationships with our technology prowess.
With that in mind, don’t let the idea of putting technology into your portfolio scare you. We can’t emphasize enough that you do not have to be a techie to sell ACS Automotive’s services and platforms. In fact, any time you ask, we will bring in one of our in-house subject matter experts to join you on sales calls. These SMEs can explain the ins and outs of the technology in question, and offer recommendations that will best position your auto dealer client for success.
Auto dealers have unique requirements around communications platforms, lead generation, sales outreach, call tracking, and more – so much so that standard business systems and approaches often don’t get the job done all the way for them.
All of that has become more pressing in a post-pandemic world. Gone are the days of giant, glitzy showrooms that buyers spend hours touring. These days, customers scour auto dealers’ websites before they leave the house, sometimes purchasing vehicles without having seen them in person. (This puts auto dealers in even more direct competition with disruptive startups such as Carvana.)
And these buyers have expectations for the way those websites work. They want 360-degree, internal and external views of the vehicles. They want sound and sensation to translate through the ether. Standard, static sites fall short, and auto dealers still relying on non-interactive digital storefronts are missing out on customers.
This all means that your auto dealer contacts must deploy services and platforms that not only support thorough virtual inspection, but also instant web chat, email, and phone contact. Auto dealers must be able to communicate in multiple ways with potential buyers and existing customers. That way, they won’t miss a hot opportunity.
Furthermore, auto dealers need the latest innovations when it comes to lead generation, digital marketing, call tracking and recording, analytics, payment processing, and more. ACS Automotive offers each of these capabilities, among others.
At the same time, ACS Automotive understands that auto dealers, like every other business, are looking for cost-cutting avenues. The imperative of adding technology while trimming expenses can seem at odds. But, as it turns out, these are not incompatible directives. Because of our extensive knowledge and buying power, ACS Automotive is able to deliver the best services and platforms for auto dealers at the most reasonable prices. Joining forces with us, and combining your expertise with ours, will turn you into your customers’ hero.
Even if you haven’t dealt in the technology realm yet, there are ways to assess which dealers might be ripe for upgrades.
- Start by checking their websites. If they’re not interactive, complete with a web chat pop-up, that’s a telltale sign.
- Next, call their phone systems. If they’re not efficient and easy to navigate, that’s another giveaway.
- Then, check Google and Bing to see how the dealers’ listings appear. For instance, does a “call us” button appear on the results page? If not, chances are the dealer could benefit from some changes.
We’re available by phone, email, and chat. We’re happy to answer all of your questions about working with us.
Depending on how much of a technology expert you want (or don’t want) to become, ACS Automotive has options. Those include simply sending us leads in exchange for a one-time payout or helping to close deals for higher monthly payouts. We offer other partnership models, too; the right one depends on your business goals, which we can discuss when you get in touch.
From there, all you have to do is start new conversations with your auto dealer contacts, bringing in ACS Automotive as needed. You’re already a trusted advisor to these businesses. Solidify that standing by showing them how to upgrade their technology, ramp up productivity, and, at the same time, save money. The combination of your smarts and ACS Automotive’s portfolio and personnel will make a winning team.
