Clozo Academy Proprietary Curriculum
# SECTION 1: INBOUND PHONE SCRIPTS
Script 1.1: Initial Greeting
All inbound calls:
"Thank you for calling [Dealership Name], this is [Your Name]. How can I help you find the perfect vehicle today?"
After hours (voicemail):
"You have reached [Dealership Name]. We are currently closed, but your call is important to us. Please leave your name, number, and the vehicle you are interested in, and I will personally return your call within 30 minutes of opening. Thank you!"
Script 1.2: Vehicle Availability Inquiry
"Yes, we do have that [Year/Make/Model] in stock. It has [Miles] miles and is priced at $[Price]. Before I tell you more about it, can I ask what attracted you to this particular vehicle?"
[Listen. Build rapport.]
"That makes perfect sense. A few things about this one: [Key features/condition highlights]. I would love for you to see it in person and take it for a drive. I have time today at [Time] or tomorrow at [Time]. Which works better for you?"
If they resist an appointment:
"I completely understand. Here is what I will do: I will send you a video walkaround and the full vehicle history report right now. My direct number is [Number]. Take a look, and if it seems like what you want, let us get you scheduled for a test drive. Fair enough?"
Script 1.3: Price Inquiry
"I would be happy to discuss pricing. To make sure I give you the most accurate numbers, can I ask a couple of quick questions? Are you planning to finance or pay cash? And do you have a trade-in?"
[Get info, then present pricing.]
"The price on the [Vehicle] is $[Price]. That includes [list what is included]. If you are financing, I can run some quick numbers for you—what monthly payment range are you comfortable with?"
Script 1.4: Financing/BHPH Inquiry
"We specialize in helping customers with all types of credit situations. Whether you have great credit, bad credit, or no credit at all, we have options for you. Our in-house financing program can get you approved quickly with as little as $[Amount] down. Can I ask what your credit situation looks like so I can point you in the right direction?"
Script 1.5: Trade-In Inquiry
"We absolutely take trade-ins—and we buy cars even if you are not buying from us. The process takes about 15 minutes. We do a full inspection, pull market data, and give you a written offer that is good for 7 days. When would be a good time for you to bring it by?"
# SECTION 2: OUTBOUND PHONE SCRIPTS
Script 2.1: Internet Lead Follow-Up (First Call)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership Name]. I see you inquired about the [Vehicle] on our website. Great choice. I just sent you a text and email with a video walkaround and the vehicle history. Do you have two minutes? I want to make sure I answer any questions and get you scheduled for a test drive."
Script 2.2: Internet Lead Follow-Up (Second Attempt)
"Hi [Name], [Your Name] from [Dealership]. I tried reaching you yesterday about the [Vehicle]. I know you are probably comparing options, and I want to make sure you have everything you need from us. The [Vehicle] is still available, and I have [Time] or [Time] open for a test drive this week. Does either work for you?"
Script 2.3: Unsold Lead Re-Engagement (30+ Days)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership]. You were in a while back looking at [Vehicle type]. I wanted to check in—are you still in the market? We have gotten some great new inventory in, and I would love to show you what is new. When would be a good time for you to stop by?"
Script 2.4: Past Customer Follow-Up (90 Days)
"Hi [Name], [Your Name] from [Dealership]. How are you loving the [Vehicle]? [Listen.] That is great to hear. I am calling because I have a favor to ask—do you know anyone who might be looking for a vehicle right now? We are growing and looking to help more people, and I would love to help your friends or family. Plus, we have a $[Amount] referral bonus for anyone you send who buys from us."
Script 2.5: Appointment Confirmation (Day Before)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership]. I am calling to confirm your appointment tomorrow at [Time] to see the [Vehicle]. We will have it cleaned up, gassed up, and ready for your test drive. Is there anything I can answer for you before you come in? Great. I will see you tomorrow at [Time]. My direct number is [Number] if anything comes up."
# SECTION 3: SALES FLOOR SCRIPTS
Script 3.1: The Meet and Greet
"Good [morning/afternoon]! Welcome to [Dealership]. I am [Name]. Make yourself at home—feel free to look around. Can I get you some water or coffee? Are you looking for something specific today, or would you like me to show you around?"
Script 3.2: Needs Assessment
"To make sure I point you in the right direction, can I ask a few quick questions? What type of vehicle are you currently driving? What do you like about it, and what would you change? Who else will be riding in the vehicle? And are you looking for a daily commuter, family vehicle, or something else?"
Script 3.3: The Demo Drive Transition
"Based on what you have told me, the [Vehicle] seems like a great fit. It has the [feature they need], gets great [relevant metric], and is in your budget range. The best way to know if it is the one is to drive it. Do you have your driver's license with you? Great. I will grab the keys and meet you outside."
Script 3.4: Trial Close
"[Name], it sounds like this [Vehicle] checks all your boxes—the [feature], the [feature], and the payment range. If the numbers work out, are you ready to take it home today?"
[If yes: proceed to write-up.]
[If hesitation:]
"I sense there might be something holding you back. Is it the vehicle, the payment, or something else? I want to make sure we address whatever is on your mind."
Script 3.5: Handling the "I Need to Think About It" Objection
"Of course, this is a big decision. To make sure I have given you everything you need, what specifically are you thinking about? Is it the vehicle itself, the numbers, or are you comparing it to something else?"
[Isolate the real concern and address it.]
Script 3.6: Handling the "I Want to Shop Around" Objection
"I completely understand wanting to compare. Let me make this easy for you. I will give you a printed copy of everything we discussed—vehicle specs, pricing, and payment options. Take it with you. If you find a better deal, I want to know about it. But I am confident that when you compare apples to apples, you will be back. And just so you know, this [Vehicle] has had [X] inquiries this week, so I cannot guarantee it will still be here. Can I put a 24-hour hold on it for you?"
Script 3.7: Handling the "Your Price Is Too High" Objection
"I appreciate you being upfront about your budget. Let us look at this together. [Show market comparables.] This vehicle is priced at the market average for its year, miles, and condition. Now, I want to find a solution that works for you. Would a different down payment amount or loan term make the payment more comfortable?"
Script 3.8: Handling the "I Have Bad Credit" Objection
"You are in the right place. We specialize in helping customers with all types of credit. Our financing program works with dozens of lenders, and we also offer in-house financing. Let us run a quick pre-qualification—it takes 5 minutes, does not affect your credit score, and then we will know exactly what options are available to you."
Script 3.9: The Delivery
"[Name], congratulations! Your [Vehicle] is cleaned, fueled, and ready to go. Before we do the paperwork, I want to walk you through everything. [Walk through features, sync phone, explain warranty, review documents.] You are all set. My direct number is [Number]. Call or text me anytime with questions. Welcome to the [Dealership] family. Enjoy your new ride!"
# SECTION 4: F&I SCRIPTS
Script 4.1: The Transition to F&I
"Congratulations on choosing the [Vehicle]. Before we finalize everything, [F&I Manager] is going to walk you through some protection options that most of our customers choose. It takes about 10 minutes, and it could save you thousands down the road."
Script 4.2: F&I Discovery Questions
"[Name], before I show you the options, let me ask a few quick questions. How long do you plan to keep this vehicle? Do you drive mostly in the city or on the highway? And have you ever had an unexpected repair bill that caught you off guard?"
Script 4.3: Menu Presentation
"[Name], these are the protection options available for your [Vehicle]. I have organized them into three packages. Most of our customers choose either the Preferred or Complete package. The Essential package gives you the core coverage. The Preferred adds [benefits]. The Complete package gives you total peace of mind with [benefits]. Take a moment to look them over. Which level of protection feels right for how you use your vehicle?"
Script 4.4: Warranty Objection Response
"I hear that a lot. Most of our customers who skip the coverage tell us later they wish they had it. This [Vehicle] is reliable, but even the best vehicles have $1,200 water pumps and $800 alternators. The warranty transfers the risk from your wallet to the insurance company. For $[amount] per month—that is less than one dinner out—you are covered."
Script 4.5: Payment Objection Response
"I understand. Let us look at Package 1—that gives you the essential protection for only $[difference] more per month. That is less than a coffee per week, and it covers your engine and transmission. Which product matters most to you?"
# SECTION 5: COLLECTIONS SCRIPTS (BHPH)
Script 5.1: Payment Reminder (Day of Due Date)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership]. Just a friendly reminder that your payment of $[Amount] is due today. You can pay online at [Link], call me back at [Number], or stop by the office. Thanks, and have a great day!"
Script 5.2: First Late Call (3 Days Late)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership]. I noticed your payment for [Date] has not come in yet. Is everything okay? I know things come up, and I want to work with you. What is going on?"
[Listen. Then offer solutions:]
"Here is what we can do. If you can pay half today and half on [Date], I can note that in your file. Or if your paycheck timing changed, we can move your due date. What works best for you?"
Script 5.3: Follow-Up Late Call (7 Days Late)
"Hi [Name], this is [Your Name] from [Dealership]. We spoke last week about your payment, and I have not received it yet. I need you to contact me today so we can work something out. My number is [Number]. I am here until 6 PM. Please call me back."
Script 5.4: Manager Call (10+ Days Late)
"[Name], we have tried to work with you, but this payment is now [X] days late. I need you to be straight with me—when can you make this payment? We have a few options on the table, but I need a commitment today. If we cannot resolve this, I will have to consider next steps that neither of us want. Let us figure this out together."
