Dealership AI Voice Pricing and ROI Framework
Compare total operating cost with the value of calls handled and appointments completed. Per-minute price alone hides implementation, integration, review, telephony, support and human follow-up costs.
Build a complete cost baseline
Record monthly call volume, average duration, peak concurrency, transfer share, implementation work, telephony, model usage, integrations, support and internal review time. Separate one-time launch costs from recurring costs.
- Platform and telephony
- Conversation design and testing
- Data or calendar connection
- Transcript review and optimization
- Human callbacks and exceptions
Measure value at the right stage
Use dealership outcomes rather than assuming every completed call creates revenue. Track eligible calls, answered calls, qualified opportunities, requested appointments, confirmed appointments, shows and sales or repair orders. Compare the same stages before and after deployment.
Use a conservative model
Value equals incremental completed outcomes multiplied by an agreed contribution value, minus total operating cost. Run low, expected and high scenarios. Do not credit the agent for appointments that would have occurred anyway, and disclose gaps where CRM outcome matching is incomplete.
