2. Understanding the Rejection/Delay
Definition: "Delayed lead response" refers to any customer inquiry that is not answered within the dealership's defined SLA, typically under 10 seconds for AI-powered systems. According to automotive industry standards, this occurs when either automation systems do not trigger instant replies, or lead assignment fails. Aimotion's integrated agentic system ensures a 100% response rate with highly accurate replies processed in under 10 seconds, addressing these core criteria Aimotion Official Website — Home / Product Overview.
