AI for sales Communication · Recommendation · Retention

Good morning, Daniel! It’s Tarpon Bay Marine’s AI assistant, about the 42′. This call is recorded. Still a good time?
Perfect timing. Did Marco get back to you?
He did! Around $165,000 for your Sundancer, subject to an inspection.
Huh. That’s better than I expected.
Wonderful. When do you want to be on the water, and will you finance?
Before summer. May, ideally. And financing most of it.
Let’s see the 42 first.
Then Marco will take you out on her Saturday at 10:00. Details by text. Enjoy your morning!
Communication
The assistant answers chat, iMessage, WhatsApp and text in seconds, any hour. It calls new leads back within minutes during calling hours (8 am to 8 pm in Florida), and only people who’ve agreed to a call from an AI assistant. Your team gets buyers who are ready.
Website chat, iMessage, WhatsApp, text, email and phone. New leads from portals and forms are called back while they’re still looking.
Timeline, budget, financing and trade-in, with a score and a summary.
Qualified · Daniel R.Thu 8:05 AM
Straight into your calendar, with everything your team needs to know before they meet the buyer.
Estimates are labeled as estimates. Prices, discounts and trade-in values come from your team, never from a guess.
What would my payment be?
About $2,505 a month with 20% down over 20 years, at an estimated 7.49% APR, before tax and fees. That’s an estimate; the lender sets your actual rate.
And could you do $370k?
Price is Marco’s call, not mine. I’ve asked him, and I’ll come back to you today.
Recommendation
Buyers often start with the wrong boat. The assistant learns how they’ll use it and who’ll be aboard, then suggests what fits from your lot, and explains why.
If she’s not the one, here are two others to keep in mind.
Let’s see the 42 first.
When a boat lands, the people who asked for one like it are matched and told first, from you.
Each message is written for the buyer it’s going to, about the boat they asked for.
Hi Jenna, you asked about a boat the kids could wakeboard behind. This one landed this morning, before it’s listed. Want to see her Saturday?10:12
Yes! Saturday morning?10:15
Retention
Your best future buyers already own a boat you sold them. The assistant keeps in touch through the life of the boat, so the service work and the next boat come back to you.
Reminders timed to the season and the hours, booked by reply.
Owners reaching the point where people trade up, with a boat to suggest.
Every buyer is asked, a week after delivery, once they’ve had her out.
Thanks for choosing Tarpon Bay Marine. Would you tell other boaters how it went?
Your rules
So it works the way you’d want your best salesperson to.
Hours, tone, what it may quote, which questions go to whom, and when it hands a buyer to a person.
Every chat, text and call is saved with a transcript and a summary on the buyer’s record.
It contacts buyers who agreed to hear from you, says it’s your dealership’s AI assistant and that calls are recorded, and honors every opt-out.
Questions
It speaks naturally and knows boats, but it never pretends to be a person: it introduces itself as your dealership’s AI assistant, and says the call is recorded.
It hands them over straight away, with a summary, so your salesperson doesn’t ask the same questions again.
It quotes your listed prices, and payment estimates with their APR and terms. Insurance questions go to a licensed agent; trade-in values and final numbers always come from your team.
Only people who’ve given consent to be contacted, and owners who bought from you, within legal calling hours (8 am to 8 pm in Florida) and the hours you set. New portal leads get a text first asking how they’d like to talk. Opt-outs are honored immediately.
Yes, and by ordinary text message. A buyer can carry the website chat on in iMessage, through Apple Messages for Business, or in WhatsApp. On both it writes only to people who’ve opted in, and on WhatsApp it opens a conversation with a message template Meta has approved.
Yes. Every call has a recording, a transcript and a summary on the buyer’s record.
By use, on any plan: $0.50 a buyer conversation and $0.30 a minute of calls, with a monthly cap you set. Plans start at $100 a month per location. See pricing.
