Recipe No. 27

Let Your Assistant's Inbox Take the Dealer Back-and-Forth

Collect car lease quotes by having the assistant email dealers from its own inbox, nudge non-responders on a polite schedule, track replies, and watch public forums for unusually good deals.

Method

  1. Give the agent your target and walk-away number; it asks every dealer for an out-the-door quote by email.

  2. Set the cadence: one initial email, a nudge only after a day or two, nothing at night or on Sunday.

  3. Have it keep one table of every dealer, quote, and fees, and stall politely if anyone pushes for a same-day deal.

  4. Ask it to watch deal-sharing forums weekly and ping you only when something beats your best quote.
