Why quoting delays are killing your conversions. And what to do about it.
The lead showed interest. They booked a test drive. You had a great conversation.
Then… silence.
It’s a familiar and frustrating pattern for many dealerships: the buyer journey runs smoothly until the quoting stage, then stalls. In a competitive, fast-moving market, delays between quote and close aren’t just missed opportunities: they’re missed revenue.
So, why does this final stretch of the sales funnel become a black hole for so many dealerships? And how can you fix it before the year ends?
Opportunity lost: the cost of quoting inefficiency
- Up to 40% of leads drop out between quoting and close
- A 1-day delay can reduce conversion rates by 20% or more
- Sales teams waste hours chasing paperwork instead of closing deals
The issue isn’t interest, it’s friction. Manual quotes, outdated PDFs, and slow follow-ups kill momentum just when buyers are ready to say yes.
The fix: digitize and automate the last mile
Instant quotes that close
Modern quoting tools like Quoto let you send personalized, mobile-friendly quote pages in seconds. Fully branded, digitally signable, and distraction-free.
Follow-up that runs itself
With Flows, quotes trigger automated follow-ups via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Timely nudges keep buyers engaged. No manual chasing required.
Smarter selling, not more admin

Ready to finish strong?
As the year draws to a close, every lead counts. If your dealership is still relying on PDFs, manual follow-ups, or CRM workflows not built for quoting, you’re leaving deals (and profit)on the table.
It’s time to stop stalling at the finish line.
