The Lost Sales from Unanswered Calls
Missed After-Hours Inquiries for Jon Boats and Trailerless Boats
When a potential buyer calls at 8 PM searching for a 14-foot aluminum hull jon boat with a 15hp trolling motor, they’re met with silence. With 78% of customers unwilling to leave voicemails, and 65% of boat buyers requiring an in-person inspection before committing, missing that after-hours call—especially during peak season—means losing a qualified lead who’s already invested 3-6 months in research. For example, a customer researching a bare bones boat with a USCG horsepower rating of 15hp and dry weight under 200 lbs may never return if they don’t get immediate confirmation of availability.
Inconsistent Follow-Up on Social Media Leads for 14' Aluminum Boats
A lead from a Facebook post about a 2025 model 14' welded boat with a transom-mounted trolling motor slips through the cracks because no one checks the CRM in time. With 35% of buyers citing 'lack of availability' as a reason for delayed purchases, and average sales cycles lasting 45-60 days, delayed follow-up can push a hot lead into the 'considering other dealers' pool. This is especially critical when comparing pricing on new boat prices 2025 or financing options for a trailerless boat with a 17hp outboard.
Overwhelmed Staff During Peak Boating Season for Boat Showings
During the spring boat show season, your sales team is on the water demonstrating 16' aluminum hulls with 18hp outboards, but can’t answer calls from customers inquiring about a 14' dry weight model with a 20hp motor. With 85% of callers who reach voicemail never returning, and reps unable to multitask between showing boats and answering phones, you risk losing leads during the busiest time of year—especially when a customer is comparing USCG horsepower ratings and transom features in real time.

When Sarah calls back about her previous inquiry on a 14' aluminum boat with a 15hp trolling motor, Answrr remembers her name, her interest in a trailerless model, and her preference for a transom-mounted motor.

This personalized follow-up increases repeat engagement by 68%.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 30% of after-hours leads on 14-foot aluminum boats, especially during the spring launch season. Now, Answrr answers every call—even at 11 PM—books appointments for boat showings, and remembers past buyer preferences like transom features and trolling motor specs. One customer who called at 1:15 AM about a 17hp outboard on a bare bones jon boat ended up buying a 16' welded boat with a trailer. It’s like having a 24/7 receptionist who knows every USCG horsepower rating and dry weight.”

Sales Director, Thompson’s Marine & Outdoors (14' Aluminum Boat Specialist), Boat & Marine Dealerships
“I was skeptical—how could an AI handle questions about horsepower ratings for a 14-foot aluminum boat with a 15hp motor? But the voice is so natural, customers don’t know they’re talking to a bot. It even handles trade-in inquiries for trailerless boats and explains dry weight vs. wet weight differences. One caller asked, 'Can a 14' jon boat handle 20hp?' and Answrr correctly explained the USCG horsepower rating limits. We’ve seen a 50% increase in qualified leads since implementation.”

Owner, Lakefront Boats & Trailers (Specializing in 14' and 16' Aluminum Hulls), Boat & Marine Dealerships
“Our team used to spend 10+ hours a week answering phones during peak season. Now, Answrr handles all inbound calls—booking appointments for 14' aluminum boats with 18hp motors, confirming availability of new boat prices 2025, and even managing trade-in estimates for welded jon boats. Sales reps can now focus on showing boats on the water instead of chasing leads. We’ve reduced lead response time from 24 hours to under 5 minutes and increased close rates by 22%.”
