Live
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
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.

Human Handoffs
