About us
A few years back, Eric (Co-Founder and CEO) got a frustrated call from his dad. His dad’s tire shop had plenty of happy customers, but only a handful of angry ones were leaving reviews. So we built a product that made getting more reviews as easy as sending a text. Launching in 2014, we set out to solve the same problem for local businesses everywhere, but we realized that messaging with customers wasn’t just the better way to get reviews—it’s the better way to do business. We’ve since built a multi-product platform that’s modernizing the way local business gets done. We are here to provide local businesses with everything they need to win. Get more reviews, collect payments, send text marketing campaigns, and centralize your communications—all from one easy-to-use platform. #Podium #PodiumLove #LocalBusiness #TheFutureIsLocal

Robots are transforming car sales: Yes — robots. On this episode of the Car Dealership Guy Industry Spotlight, Sam D’Arc speaks with Alex Lawrence, PhD, CEO of Utah-based EV Auto, and Ross Tinkham, GTM Leader at Podium. They explore the secrets behind running an EV-only dealership, leveraging A.I. to scale, disrupting the service model with mobile EV repairs, and much more. Top Lessons Learned from Alex and Ross: 1. Hyper-focused inventory drives profitability – EV Auto sells only used EVs, capitalizing on high demand for models like the Tesla Model Y, which is on track to be one of the best-selling cars in the U.S. this year. – With just 60 vehicles on the lot, they turn their entire inventory in under 30 days, averaging over 100 units sold monthly. – Their tight focus allows for precise market trend tracking and quicker inventory adjustments. 2. Mobile EV service is a game-changer. – EV Auto’s mobile service unit, built on a Tesla Cybertruck and trailer, is booked solid. – EV repairs are less frequent than ICE vehicles but are labor-heavy with higher margins. – By addressing the growing market of out-of-warranty EVs – they’re unlocking untapped revenue. 3. A.I. boosts lead conversion and saves deals. – EV Auto’s A.I.-powered chatbot from Podium called “Glow,” engages customers 24/7 – answering inquiries, scheduling test drives, and more. – A human “air traffic controller” also monitors leads during business hours. 4. EV Auto has achieved zero employee turnover in five years. – A.I. tools reduce mundane tasks – allowing employees to focus on the customer-facing interactions they enjoy. – This improves team morale, reduces training costs, and ensures consistency. 5. The future of A.I. in auto retail is just beginning – EV Auto’s next steps include conversational voice A.I. to tackle outbound sales calls. – Alex will continue to use A.I. for real-time inventory insights, market analytics, and operational recommendations. – The current ROI on Alex’s A.I. tools far exceed the cost, thanks to increased efficiency, higher lead conversion, and stronger customer engagement.

Podium reposted this
This happens every day: A car shopper finds a vehicle they love online… But the dealership is closed—so they can’t ask questions or schedule a visit—and they move on. The result? Poor customer experience and lost sales. Here’s how dealers fix it: a. Extend hours to stay “open” late — inefficient and unsustainable. b. Outsource BDC (call center) to remote teams — costly and inconsistent. c. Use AI tools to handle after-hours calls and inquiries — efficient and scalable. According to Podium , they’re seeing an 80% increase in after-hours appointments when a dealership has an AI BDC handling leads 24/7. Expect to see a lot more dealerships turning to AI tools to capture missed opportunities and deliver better service after-hours. - If you’re a dealer, you can learn more about Podium’s AI here: https://lnkd.in/grwhPEDH (Data from CDG partner: Podium #podiumpartner)

🚗 Car dealerships, it’s time to revolutionize your test-drive bookings with AI!
Super simple use case for AI in car dealerships: Booking test-drives. Dealerships have started using AI to manage incoming calls/texts... And according to Podium, they’re seeing a 25% increase in test drives booked over human BDC teams. This presents a big opportunity for consumers and dealers: For consumers: quicker responses at any time of day. For dealerships: higher internet conversion rates, and increased sales as they shift staff from answering phones to doing deals on the sales floor.
