Every lead. Every channel. Every hour.
Ekho's Sales Agent doesn't just respond to leads — it qualifies buyers, books appointments, runs trade-in estimates, pre-qualifies financing, and closes deals across chat, SMS, and email. All backed by a real Transaction Engine, not scripted responses.
How it actually works
Every lead gets a reply in seconds
Half of all dealership web leads never get a response. Ekho replies in under 8 seconds — across chat, SMS, and email — day or night, weekday or weekend.
Your brand, your rules
Dial in your agent's personality, tone, and even regional dialect. Simulate typos over text so it feels human. Set custom playbooks per location, brand, or department — configurability most tools can't touch.
Real tools, not canned responses
Your agent checks live inventory, generates trade-in estimates, pre-qualifies buyers through real lender integrations, books appointments, and collects deposits — all inside the conversation.
Warm handoffs, not cold calls
Understands buyer intent, asks the right questions, scores leads by readiness, and books appointments into your team's calendar. Reps only talk to buyers who are ready.
Closes the deal, if you want it to
When a buyer is ready, the Sales Agent can take the deal all the way — processing financing, titling, registration, tax, and compliance through Ekho's Transaction Engine across all 50 states.
Your team stays in the driver's seat
Every conversation is logged in your admin portal. Jump in live at any point, assign leads to reps, set escalation rules, or let it run fully autonomously — your call, always.
One agent. Every part of the deal.
From first response to final follow-up, Ekho's Sales Agent handles the entire buyer journey — appraising trades, pre-qualifying buyers, collecting deposits, booking service, and closing deals (if you want it to) — autonomously, 24/7.
Half of your leads never hear back. Until now.
Half of all dealership web leads go without a single response (Pied Piper). Ekho's Sales Agent responds to every one — instantly — and follows up with personalized, context-aware outreach for as long as it takes to re-engage.
Fill your service bay without lifting a finger
Ekho automatically qualifies, schedules, and confirms service appointments 24/7 — so your service team stays productive and no booking ever falls through the cracks.
Deliver finance-ready leads to your sales team
Ekho pre-qualifies buyers with a soft pull before they ever step foot in your dealership — so your finance team spends less time qualifying and more time closing.
Close the deal, right in the conversation
When a buyer is ready, Ekho's Sales Agent — if you want it to — can take the deal all the way: processing financing, titling, registration, tax, insurance verification, and fraud detection through Ekho's Transaction Engine, compliantly, across all 50 states.
Stop losing trade-ins, start closing more sales
Ekho captures trade-in details and delivers instant estimates right in the chat — keeping buyers engaged, increasing your appraisal pipeline, and accelerating the path to a new unit purchase.
From purchase to pickup, handled
After the sale, Ekho keeps the conversation going — coordinating pickup times, updating delivery details, and sending reminders so your team doesn't have to chase buyers down.
Secure high-intent buyers before they shop elsewhere
Ekho collects refundable deposits directly in the chat — locking in committed buyers even when your showroom is closed. No forms, no follow-up, no lost deals.
“We went from pulling chat back in high-demand areas to control response times, to deploying a system that engages, qualifies, and advances conversations automatically. The difference wasn't incremental — it's redefining how our team interacts with inbound.”
The Compounding Effect
Your leads don't expire. Neither does your agent
Traditional BDC teams plateau at a fraction of their lead volume. With Ekho, every month's leads stay in active nurture — creating a compounding pipeline that grows while your team stays the same size.
~7x more active leads by month 6. Same team. Same ad spend.
BEYOND THE HANDOFF
Most AI stops at the handoff. Ekho goes all the way.
Basic chatbots engage. AI BDC tools follow up. Ekho does both — and then handles the sale, the paperwork, and everything after (if you want it to).
Three types of dealerships
The gap between dealers who adopt full-stack AI and those who don't is growing every month.
Manual
Your team texts back when they can. Leads wait hours — sometimes days. By the time someone responds, the buyer's already talking to another dealer.
Basic automation
Fast first response, but generic follow-up that fizzles out after a few weeks. No real tools — just templated messages and a prayer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most AI BDC tools are point solutions — they handle lead response and follow-up, then hand off to your team. Ekho's Sales Agent goes further because it's backed by a real Transaction Engine. It can pre-qualify buyers through actual lender integrations, generate trade-in estimates, collect deposits, process payments, and handle titling and registration — all inside the conversation. It's a full-cycle agent, not just a follow-up tool.
Beyond responding to inquiries, the Sales Agent checks live inventory, runs trade-in valuations, pre-qualifies buyers for financing with a soft pull, books appointments, collects refundable deposits, initiates checkout sessions, and coordinates post-sale logistics like pickup scheduling. Each of these is a configurable skill you can enable or disable per dealership.
Yes. Every conversation is visible in your admin portal in real time. Your team can jump in live at any point, assign leads to specific reps, set escalation rules for situations the AI should hand off, or let it run fully autonomously. You decide how much control to keep.
Deeply. You control the agent's personality, tone, and even regional dialect. You can simulate typos over SMS so it feels more human. You set custom playbooks per location, brand, or department — and upload your own SOPs and policies for the agent to follow. Most competing tools offer basic tone settings; Ekho gives you granular control over how your agent represents your dealership.
Yes — multi-rooftop support is built in from day one. Each location gets its own Sales Agent with its own inventory, settings, and routing rules, all managed under a single parent account. The agent intelligently routes leads to the right dealership based on what the buyer is looking for and where they are. This works across different brands, vehicle types, and even different provinces or states.
Ekho responds across web chat, SMS, and email — all from a unified inbox. No matter which channel a buyer comes through, they interact with the same agent that knows their full conversation history. Every lead is logged and accessible to your team regardless of channel.
Ekho doesn't stop after a few texts. The Sales Agent follows up with personalized, context-aware outreach for as long as it takes — referencing the buyer's original interest, flagging low-stock situations, and re-engaging cold leads with relevant updates. You set the cadence and duration.
Ekho's Sales Agent is priced comparably to basic chatbot solutions — significantly less than most AI BDC point solutions, which typically charge $2,000–$10,000 per month per rooftop. Because Ekho is a platform (not just a single tool), we can offer the Sales Agent at a fraction of what competitors charge.
Same team. Same ad spend.
