Ep. 641 - Smart Dealerships Are Winning More with AI Says Maarten Bekkers

If you hear the word “AI” and immediately picture a clunky chatbot throwing out robotic answers like “I’m sorry, Dave, I can’t do that”—you’re in for a wake-up call.In this episode of The Dealer Playbook, I sit down with Maarten Bekkers, the founder of AutoChat, to break down how AI is so much more than a fancy Q&A bot on your website. Oh, and if you’re still chasing endless leads like a golden retriever chasing a tennis ball… buckle up. Maarten and I dive into why quality leads > lead volume and how AI can filter out the noise and hand you the real opportunities.At one point, Maarten hit me with this:"Selling something to someone who doesn’t need it is bad.
