With our vast conversation library and the endlessly customizable variable-based conversation architecture, no two Conversica use cases are exactly alike. But we see some patterns for success, especially within industries.

In the last few days of 2023, we’re exploring some of our top performers from the year and what set their conversations apart.

We cut our teeth helping the Automotive Industry unlock sales and service revenue, and more than a decade later, we still find that dealerships have some of the most profitable use cases for Conversational AI. We’ve got four examples from 2023 to highlight from that industry.

Jaguar Land Rover Nashville: Multichannel Internet Lead Follow-Up

When a lead requests a test drive or information on a vehicle, every dealership knows instant follow-up is key. But offering multiple channels of communication that allow the lead to continue the conversation in whatever manner they prefer is really how to clinch the deal.

This TN dealership beats out the competition with SMS communications and conversation rules to move leads in the messaging funnel when they come in for a test drive. Nearly 3 in 5 leads respond to the assistant, and one-third become Conversation Qualified with a positive response indicating they’re ready for the next step in the buying process.
