The Challenge
Maximizing lead conversion without adding headcount
The Solution
Impel’s Sales AI enhances the effectiveness of existing sales staff to drive higher lead conversion performance
Manual lead processing creates missed opportunities
The Sales team at Bob Rohrman Kia had no shortage of opportunities. Leads were coming in from multiple channels at all times of the day and night, with more than 45% originating during off-hours.
With rapidly growing lead volume, the sales team was stretched to its limit. Responding to every inbound inquiry while trying to nurture customer relationships was becoming increasingly difficult. Too much time was being spent answering basic questions and chasing unresponsive leads, preventing sales reps
from focusing on closing deals.
Employee frustration was growing, but what could be done without adding additional headcount?
Sales AI helps Rohrman convert more leads
Rohrman’s Sales AI, nicknamed Megan, enables the sales team to focus on closing deals and nurturing low-funnel shoppers.

“We couldn’t be happier with Megan ─ I mean, Impel’s Sales AI. It’s really helped us focus on getting deals across the line while she handles the things that don’t need as much hands-on car.”
