Module 04 · optional

Velocity Showroom

Floor traffic

Guides the salesperson through the whole Road to the Sale on an iPad: meet and greet, needs analysis, vehicle match, selection, presentation, demonstration and trial close. It ends in a clear buy-today decision and hands the customer and the deal straight to the desk.

What it does

Your best salesperson's process, available to everyone on the floor

Every store has someone who runs a proper road to the sale, and several people who run most of it most of the time. The gap between those two is not talent. It is that one of them has the process in their head and the others do not.

A needs analysis that gets used

What the customer drives, what they must have, what they are trading and when they need to move. Captured once, on the iPad, and then read by every module after this one.

Matched against what is on the ground

Vehicles that meet the must-haves, from the inventory you actually have, with the reason each one was matched shown next to it.

Presentation and demonstration, guided

The Brain suggests what to lead with, based on what this customer raised first and came back to. The manager reviews the recommendation before the salesperson sees it.

Ends in one decision

Buying today, or not today. A clear answer, recorded, rather than a customer who leaves and a salesperson who is not sure what happened.

Lead the presentation with the tow rating, not the third row. He raised towing first and came back to it twice.

Buying today Not today
Buying today hands the customer and the deal to Velocity Desk

Where they are, what the customer said, and what to do next

The salesperson can see the whole road and where they are on it. The needs analysis is on the left in the customer’s own terms. The matches on the right come from the inventory on the ground, with the reason attached to each one.

The Brain's suggestion has been reviewed by a sales manager before it reached the iPad. That review is part of the design, not an optional setting.

What it holds

The surfaces this module provides

  • Guided needs analysis, captured once and read by every module downstream
  • Inventory match against what is actually on the ground, with the reason for each match shown
  • The salesperson playbook, from meet and greet through to trial close
  • Presentation and demonstration guidance, reviewed by a manager before it reaches the floor
  • A recorded buy-today decision at the end of the trial close
  • Live manager visibility of the showroom floor: who is with a customer, and how far along
How it connects

Nothing gets retyped at the desk

The handoff from the floor to the desk is where most of a customer’s context has always been lost. A salesperson spends forty minutes learning what someone needs, and the desk receives a stock number and a trade.

From

Velocity Engage

The customer arrives with the whole lead thread behind them, so the meet and greet does not repeat questions they already answered by text.

Here

Velocity Showroom

The road is walked, the vehicle is matched and demonstrated, and the trial close produces a decision.

To

Velocity Desk

Buying today hands the customer and the deal to the desk with the needs analysis, the trade and the vehicle already attached.

Boundary

The playbook guides, it does not script. A salesperson can step off it at any point, and the Brain's recommendations reach the floor only after a manager has reviewed them. The customer is talking to a person, and the iPad stays where it belongs.


Where this is today

Next in build

Showroom follows Engage and Desk. It depends on both: the lead thread coming in, and the desk handoff going out. Building it before either of those existed would mean building the middle of a chain with nothing attached to either end.
