The Missed Calls Cost Boat Dealerships Sales
Missed Calls During Spring Launch Season: 62% of Prospective Buyers on 14-Foot Jon Boats Go Elsewhere
During peak spring launch season, dealerships receive an average of 45–60 inbound calls per day, but 62% go unanswered due to understaffing. This is especially critical when buyers are researching 12–14-foot aluminum hull jon boats with trolling motors and transom mounting options—many of whom are first-time buyers seeking guidance on USCG horsepower rating compliance. Without immediate response, these leads often turn to competitors offering same-day appointment booking.
Delayed Follow-Up on Online Inquiries for Outboard Motor & Live Well Configurations
When a customer submits an inquiry about a 25 HP outboard motor with a fish finder and live well setup, 45% of dealerships fail to respond within 24 hours—missing the window when buyers are comparing fuel efficiency (a top concern for 45% of buyers) and trailer compatibility. This delay leads to lost opportunities, especially for customers researching dry storage options and boat trailer rental services during the 6–12 month purchase cycle.
Staff Overwhelmed During Summer Peak: 30% of First-Time Buyers Abandon Research Due to No Immediate Support
During summer months, dealerships see a 200% spike in calls from first-time buyers searching for 14-foot fishing boats with transom-mounted trolling motors and aluminum hull durability. With only two sales reps handling 50+ daily calls, critical questions about USCG horsepower rating, dry storage availability, and fish finder integration are delayed or missed—causing potential buyers to abandon their search after just one unanswered call.

Linda Thompson
Sales Director, Coastal Waters Marine & Outboard Center, Boat & Marine Dealerships
“During peak season, our team was overwhelmed with calls about 12–14-foot fishing boats, boat trailer rentals, and outboard motor fuel efficiency. Answrr now answers questions about transom size, fish finder integration, and dry storage pricing—then books showings. We’ve doubled our lead conversion rate and cut follow-up time from 48 hours to under 5 minutes.”
Derek Miller
Dealership Owner, Gulf Coast Boat & Trailer Co., Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I was skeptical about AI handling complex questions like USCG horsepower rating limits or live well capacity for 16-foot fishing boats. But the AI not only understands the terminology—it asks follow-ups like ‘Are you looking for a 2-stroke or 4-stroke outboard?’ and books appointments with the right technician. Customers say it feels like a real person. We’ve seen a 52% increase in appointment attendance since implementation.”
