Salestarter.com Launches INSTANT CONTACT(TM) and Instant WEB Pre-Approval(TM); Deliver Qualified Leads to Sales Representatives In Automotive Industry and Beyond

    DETROIT, Nov. 10 Salestarter.com has launched two new
products to help streamline web-based automotive leads for car dealers.
Through the use of these service offerings, dealers can now receive pre-
qualified notification of sales leads generated from their web sites delivered
via their web-enabled wireless device.  The announcement was made by
Salestarter principals Michael McBrien and Charles Wood.
    Salestarter has quickly established itself as an innovator in Internet
lead management and pre-qualification tools for auto dealers and their
prospects.  Instant Web Pre-Approval allows a salesperson to better service
prospects by providing them with the information necessary to speak from an
informed position.  Through the system, leads are rated on an A-E scale
permitting sales professionals to tailor the conversation to the targeted
consumer's credit standing.  It operates optimally when used in conjunction
with Instant Contact(TM), which allows mobile professionals to respond to
inquiries in real time.  Contact information and credit grades are transmitted
via WAP devices to professionals in real-time, anywhere that their
communications devices function.
    "With internet sales closure rate currently hovering around 10%, it is
apparent that current systems aren't satisfying the consumer's need to feel
catered to.  Instant Contact(TM) and Instant Pre-Approval provide the tools
that sales staff need to provide the same level of service that differentiates
the brick and mortar experience from the online one," explained McBrien.
    Salestarter.com is located in Detroit, Michigan.  While the initial focus
has been on the automotive industry, Salestarter has already begun similar
efforts in the real estate and mortgage industries and they have identified
several other high-ticket markets where prospect pre-qualification is
essential.  For more information about Salestarter and their products, visit
