Why You Need A BDC
A Business Development Center (BDC) is a specialized department that manages all customer communications for your dealership. Your BDC team handles incoming calls, responds to internet leads, schedules appointments, and conducts follow-up campaigns to maximize every sales opportunity.
In today’s digital-first automotive retail environment, dealerships face a critical challenge: while salespeople excel at in-person selling, they often struggle with consistent lead management and follow-up. This is where a professional BDC makes all the difference.
