Real-Time Verification: Capture Hot Leads Instantly
For recyclers listing parts on Car Part Pro, iCPM offers a powerful lead generation tool: Real Time Part Verification. This feature adds a Confirm Availability button to your part listings, empowering Car Part Pro users, such as body shops and insurance adjusters, to instantly check part availability.
When a customer clicks Confirm Availability, iCPM immediately alerts you through the Verify tab. This notification isn’t just a ping; it’s a valuable sales lead delivered directly to you, including crucial information such as:
- Part Details: Know exactly which part the customer is interested in.
- User Type: Understand if it’s a body shop, insurance adjuster, or other buyer.
- Contact Information: Get the necessary details to follow up and close the sale.
- Price Breakdown: Have immediate pricing context for efficient quoting.
- Customer Message: Understand any specific needs or questions right from the start.
Real Time Part Verification transforms passive listings into proactive lead generators, ensuring you are notified the moment a buyer is seriously interested in your parts. This speed and direct connection are vital for maximizing sales in a competitive market.
