Social lead follow-up

Facebook and Instagram leads need a process built for early intent.

A social form submit means interest, not always readiness. The dealership has to keep the buyer path alive until timing improves.

Treat the form submit as the start of a conversation.

The shopper raised a hand. The dealership still has to build enough trust, timing, and vehicle context to move them forward.

Do not stop after the first day.

Higher-funnel social leads often need repeated, useful follow-up before they respond with a buying signal.

Escalate based on intent, not guesswork.

A human should step in when the shopper asks a question, requests a call, schedules, or shows real readiness.
