), increased new car sales by 10% year over year, with CallCommand's powerful Web-based calling system, CallStream(TM), being highly instrumental. The dealership also increased used car sales by 30.2%. CallStream(TM) is a tool that allows users to develop and send out targeted voice mail messages instantly from any location, with superior penetration -- as high as 92% message delivery.

Palm Beach Toyota strongly believes in the philosophy of building customers for life and is dedicated to intimate customer care. Before signing on with CallCommand, the dealership was doing well in the market but was looking for Looking for

 a way to further enhance follow-up and customer relations to maximize existing customer opportunities and increase retention.

After signing up with CallCommand, Palm Beach Toyota implemented a whole suite of CallStream customer communications from "Happy Birthday/Anniversary" calls, to calls to thank the customer for buying the vehicle and to ensure they are happy with the sales experience, to Service Appointment reminders and Special Order Parts arrival calls. The dealership also uses CallStream to promote sales drives sales drive npromoción f de ventas

 how such a simple thing as a Happy Birthday call triggers such a strong response. Customers like the personal touch; they appreciate the fact that we have recognized them and taken the time to call," commented Palm Beach Toyota General Manager Toni Mauro.

"We get a lot of calls back from our customers and as a result it allows us to start a personal dialog with the customer that would not otherwise have happened. In many cases this leads to a further sale," Mauro added.

The dealership uses CallStream to augment its ongoing promotions and improve the overall response. While the dealership still uses direct mail, print and TV ads, it boosts the response with an automatic call from CallStream to alert the customer to keep an eye out for the direct mail piece, or mentions "As seen on TV" in the call. "We use CallStream as a tool to really hit our customers and have had great success with sales drives and Holiday Sales Events by using it to power-up our customer response. Combining our promotional methods in this way has led to phenomenal sales increases in both new and used car sales," Mauro said.

 the next day, a thank you call from the dealer principal seven days later and an invitation from the service manager 30 days after the sale. CallCommand(TM) recommends a series of 30 regular communications that dealers should ideally make to maintain personal relationships with their customers. The beauty of these campaigns is that they can be tailored to the size of any customer list and budget.

"The result that Palm Beach Toyota experienced this year is an example of what a great dealership can expect when they turn their focus to the opportunity that exists in their database. Previous sales and service customers represent the biggest opportunity for increased sales without spending tons on newspaper, radio and TV. The right message at the right time to all previous sales and service customers will increase repeat business, referral business and owner loyalty," commented Al Babbington, CallCommand CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
