About this listen
Vin Micciche analyzes the hidden costs of in-house BDCs (staff turnover, tech fragmentation) versus the ROI of outsourcing. Vin breaks down how Strolid’s centralized model reduces overhead by 30-40% while improving lead-to-appointment conversion rates, citing a 12-month ROI case study where dealers gained $18 in profit for every $1 invested. The episode also critiques “budget BDC” solutions that sacrifice customization for short-term savings. Key takeaway: “A BDC isn’t a cost center. It’s a profit engine that pays for itself when aligned with inventory and sales workflows.” Learn more about how Strolid helps dealerships Never Miss opportunities for dealers at https://www.strolid.com.
