Koll for car dealerships

Reach a ready-to-buy customer before they walk into a competitor's showroom.

When a customer shows interest in a car — browsing the listing, asking about price, availability or financing — that interest stays hot for only a few hours. Koll makes your salesperson's call recognizable and tells the customer upfront what it's about. The test drive, trade-in valuation or financing is agreed in that conversation. Every contact is based on the customer's own request or consent — and the reason is visible before they answer.

What it costs you right now

01

Interest goes cold within hours

A customer's interest in a car is most valuable right away. If the first call goes unanswered, they move on to the next dealership's listing — and the test drive never happens.

02

Unknown number = no answer

Salespeople often call from mobile phones that show up as an unfamiliar number to the customer. The same number can even look like a scam.

03

Wasted chasing

Your sales team's time goes into call attempts and callback requests instead of conversations that lead to a sale.

Here's how Koll solves it for car dealerships

The business is verified once. After that, every outgoing call tells the customer who is calling and why.

  • The dealership's name and the salesperson's name appear on the call
  • The reason for the call is chosen from ready-made, dealership-managed templates
  • Works even without an app – information is delivered as a message
  • The same identity across your entire sales team and all locations

Examples of call reasons

  • Interest in a car

    Nova Motors – calling about the Model Y you were interested in

  • Offer

    Nova Motors – your trade-in offer is ready

  • Service

    Nova Motors – your car is ready for pickup

  • Financing

    Nova Motors – your financing application has progressed

What changes

More completed test drives

Faster response time to leads

Fewer wasted call attempts

A consistent dealership brand on every call

Before and after

Here's how a call round goes today

  1. A customer shows interest in a car at 9:10 AM, the salesperson calls at 11 AM.
  2. The customer sees an unknown mobile number and doesn't answer.
  3. The salesperson leaves a callback request; the customer rarely calls back.
  4. After the third attempt, the lead is marked 'unreachable'.
  5. The customer has already moved on to another dealership's listing – a test drive was never even discussed.

Here's how the same round goes with Koll

  1. The same call shows the dealership's name and the salesperson's name to the customer.
  2. The reason for the call says it right away: 'calling about the Model Y you were interested in'.
  3. The customer recognizes the topic and answers on the first attempt.
  4. The conversation starts with the topic, not with introductions.
  5. The test drive or trade-in valuation is agreed during that same conversation.

Where Koll helps in practice

Interest in a car

When a customer leaves their details or asks about a car, a recognizable call follows within an hour – the test drive comes out of that conversation.

Trade-in valuation

The price estimate is shared over the phone once the customer knows what the call is about.

Financing decision

Financing matters are sensitive – a verified identity sets you apart from scam calls.

Service pickup

After-sales reaches the customer without wasted call attempts.

Campaigns and inventory clearance

Scheduled campaign calls perform better when the recipient sees the dealership's name.

Ordered vehicle delivery

Delivery date confirmations get through on the first attempt.

ROI calculator

Koll is not a cost line – see what it returns

Leads, advertising and sales time are already paid for. Koll improves the one moment that decides whether they pay off – and it pays for itself with just a few extra deals. Adjust the numbers to match your own operation; everything is calculated in your browser and nothing is stored.

And what euros don't show

  • The customer knows instantly who is calling and why
  • The conversation continues on the customer's terms
  • The relationship and its data stay with the company

How Koll fits your current workflow

Your CRM stays the same

Koll doesn't replace your systems. The call goes out as before – the recipient just sees more.

One look across all locations

A dealer group can use the same company identity across all its dealerships.

Centralized control

The company decides who can call under the dealership's name and for what reasons.

Privacy and control

Koll is built for the European regulatory environment. Your company decides who may call in its name and what the recipient sees.

  • Service delivered within the EU
  • Call content is not recorded or analyzed
  • Only company-managed message templates
  • Recipients see only the company, caller, and reason

Principles of ethical calling

Wanted contact isn't a marketing promise. It's the rule Koll is built on.

Cold calling breaks trust in both directions. Koll is built so the recipient always knows who is calling and why — and decides for themselves how to respond.

  • We don't call anonymously

    The company and the caller are verified. Recipients see a real company and a real person, not a random number.

  • We don't call without a reason

    Every contact carries a reason that is visible before the call is answered. No reason, no call.

  • The recipient decides

    Customers can answer, move the contact to a better moment or decline — without having to pick up the phone.

  • We don't listen or record

    Call content is never recorded or analysed. The service is delivered in the EU and each company manages its own users and data.

Frequently asked questions

Does the customer need to install an app?
No. If the recipient doesn't have the Koll app, the information is delivered as a message alongside the call.
Can a salesperson make up their own reason for calling?
Yes. A salesperson can pick a company-managed template or write the reason themselves. The company gets continuous reporting on which reasons perform best — and the winners can be promoted into standard templates.
Are calls recorded?
No. Call content is not recorded or analyzed.
What do we need to provide for WhatsApp messaging?
Your own Meta Business Portfolio and WhatsApp Business Account, a Meta-verified number (existing or separate), an approved brand profile with company name, logo and website, and authorisation for Koll via Meta's Embedded Signup. Messages are delivered as Koll SmartCards and are included in your calling team's fixed-price package. Recipients need a valid opt-in. Your current WhatsApp Business app on the phone can keep running (Coexistence).
Does this work across all locations of a dealer group?
Yes. The same verified identity can be shared across all dealerships, or each can have its own.
What does it cost to get started?
We go through pricing in the demo call – it depends on the number of users and call volume.
How quickly can we get started?
After verification, rollout takes days, not months.
