Benchmarks provide a comparison point, not a prediction for any dealership.
Observed lead-to-sale benchmark
The same automotive benchmark reported that 11.7% of sales leads eventually bought. The calculator uses this only when you do not provide lead-attributed sales.
Sales closed after day three
Foureyes found that 61.2% of eventual buyers closed within three days, leaving 38.8% who closed later and could require sustained follow-up.
Qualification odds within one hour
Harvard Business Review reported that firms contacting online leads within an hour were nearly seven times as likely to qualify them as firms waiting one hour longer.
How the estimate works
The model applies the automotive unlogged-lead rate first, then applies conservative response-delay and follow-up risk assumptions to the remaining sales opportunity without double-counting. It multiplies the resulting customer opportunities by your average vehicle sale value.
Response-delay assumptions range from 0% under five minutes to 35% after 24 hours. Follow-up assumptions range from 0% at 30 or more days to the published 38.8% post-day-three share when follow-up stops by day three. These are LotLift scenario assumptions, not conversion rates reported by the studies.
