Connect Instantly with Recyclers and Collision Repairers to Expand Your Sales Network
One of the key advantages of iCPM is its ability to foster seamless communication within the automotive recycling network. The Roster feature provides quick access to your contacts, enabling instant communication with other recyclers on the iCPM network and collision repairers using Integrated Car Part Pro (iPro). This instant connectivity is crucial when you’re selling car for parts, as it allows for rapid inquiries and responses, expanding your reach and potential sales opportunities.
The intuitive search bar and saved contacts groups make it easy to locate the right people quickly. Furthermore, preset message buttons streamline your communication, saving you valuable time. Imagine being able to instantly send frequently used phrases like “Hi! How can I help you find parts today?” or “Our standard warranty is 90 days” with just a click. This feature ensures consistent and efficient communication, directly supporting your efforts in selling car for parts.

In today’s digital marketplace, immediate customer interaction is vital. iCPM’s Live Chat feature allows potential buyers to connect with you directly from their online search results. Whether customers are browsing Car-Part.com, Car Part Pro, Trading Partners, or even your own website, they can instantly message you with inquiries. This real-time engagement is a game-changer when selling car for parts online, as it allows you to answer questions immediately and close deals faster.

Streamline Part Sales and Manage Requests Effectively
The Sales tab in iCPM is specifically designed to help you manage and streamline your part sales process. Functioning like an efficient email inbox, it allows you to view part requests from other recyclers, track unread requests, and quickly respond to facilitate sales. This organized approach ensures you stay on top of all potential transactions, maximizing your opportunities for selling car for parts.
You can easily review past conversations related to each part request, providing valuable context and ensuring consistent customer service. The ability to flag requests for later review is another helpful feature, ensuring no potential sale slips through the cracks.

While the Sales tab offers the most efficient way to manage requests, iCPM also provides the flexibility to view these same requests in the traditional sales room, catering to different user preferences.

Furthermore, the Auto Match and Broadcast Requests buttons on the toolbar provide quick access to parts requests posted by other recyclers on the Bulletin Board, expanding your visibility and sales potential within the network. These features are invaluable for staying competitive and effectively selling car for parts.
Enhance Lead Generation with Real-Time Part Verification
If you list your parts on Car Part Pro, leveraging Real Time Part Verification through iCPM can significantly enhance your lead generation. By opting for this feature, a Confirm Availability button is added to all your part listings on Car Part Pro. This allows Car Part Pro users, such as body shops and insurance adjusters, to instantly verify part availability in real-time, streamlining their purchasing process and increasing your chances of a sale.
When a customer clicks Confirm Availability on one of your parts, you receive an immediate notification in the Verify tab of iCPM. This notification is rich with valuable sales lead information, including part details, user type, contact information, price breakdown, and any message from the customer. Each notification is a hot lead, providing you with all the necessary information to promptly follow up and finalize the sale. This proactive approach to lead capture is essential for maximizing your success in selling car for parts.
