What changed for Perlmans Garage
Premium category. Long sales cycle.
Perlmans Garage has been an Albany institution for over a century, a premium auto dealership where every customer is a long-term relationship. The team had built the legacy; the digital layer needed to catch up.
Inbound was strong (197 calls and over 3.5 hours of customer conversation in the measurement window) but the follow-up was manual and the multi-week buying cycle was eating prospects who went silent.
The job: build an email + SMS nurture system that respects the premium category: never pushy, always present, ready when the buyer is.
Inbound Falling Through Cracks
Inbound came from phone, web, walk-in, and referrals, with no unified system to catch every lead and respond before the prospect bounced.
No Follow-Up Discipline
First-time customers came in, got service, and were never contacted again. The repeat-purchase lever was just sitting there unused.
Review Generation Ad-Hoc
Customers loved the service. Almost none of them ever wrote a review. The reputation engine was running on memory only.
No Operational Visibility
Owner-operator couldn’t see lead flow, response time, or conversion rate. Every decision was vibes-based instead of data-based.
Three layers. Built for the category.
Niche local businesses win on response time and reputation. We built the engine that captures every inbound, books fast, and turns delighted customers into the brand’s most reliable acquisition channel.
Inbound Capture System
Phone, web, chat, and walk-in all feed one pipeline. Missed-call text-back, instant SMS confirmation, no leak between channels.
Booking + Follow-Up
Calendar links, automated reminders, and post-visit follow-up built into the journey. Repeat customers come back because the experience never gets dropped.
Reputation Velocity
Review generation automation that turns every great visit into a public 5-star. Local rankings improve. CAC drops. Compounding loop.
Premium service. Disciplined follow-up.
