Supercharge Your Dealership with AI: The Johnson Lexus Sales Success Story
Discover how AI co-intelligence transformed sales performance, customer communication, and team efficiency at Johnson Lexus of Raleigh—and how your dealership can achieve the same results.
Case Study: From Training to Transformation: AI Empowers Johnson Lexus Sales Team
Strategic Implementation
Our work went beyond basic AI training to create a comprehensive co-intelligence layer that augmented the entire sales operation at Johnson Lexus in Raleigh, NC.
Working closely with General Manager Mike Dalton, we tailored the program to the dealership's specific culture, workflows, and success metrics.
Comprehensive Approach
The program combined hands-on training with embedded AI tools that sales associates could use immediately in their daily activities—from handling objections to crafting customer communications.
Instead of just teaching about AI, we integrated it as an ever-present teammate that expanded the team's capabilities across all aspects of the sales process.
