Is the Silverado still available? I can come by after work if the payment is close.

Yes — it’s available. I can help you narrow the payment range and reserve a visit. Does 6:15 PM or 6:45 PM work better?

6:45. Can someone send photos of the interior first?

The follow-up gap

Most dealerships quit before the buyer does.

Most dealerships quit before the buyer does.

Car buyers stay in-market for weeks or months, but most sales teams stop meaningful follow-up after a few attempts. That leaves thousands of dollars in existing leads sitting untouched.

Day 1

Lead arrives

A shopper raises their hand from web, phone, CRM, or showroom.

Day 3

Rep follow-up fades

The lead is busy, the floor gets busier, and notes go stale.

Day 21

Most tools stop

The buyer is still shopping, but the store’s system has gone quiet.

Day 96+

Silx is still working

The AI keeps the conversation alive until the lead books, buys, opts out, or needs a human.

What Silx does

Traditional teams can only actively work a small slice of leads. Silx keeps each monthly lead cohort alive, so the dealership builds a growing pool of active conversations instead of constantly starting over.
