Marking an Open Deal "Dead" in DriveCentric is something important to remember, as it will help you manage your Sales Pipeline more effectively.
These deals can be marked dead for a handful of reasons, but the main reasons are listed below:
Bought Elsewhere
Cross Sell
Due to Process
Finance Declined
Inactivity on Deal
No Agreement
Old Deal Killed
Other
Bad Contact Info
Bad Lead or ILM
Dealer Purchase
Handraiser/Tradeshow
Service/Parts Lead
Test Lead
Transferred
Once you get to the point where you determine there is no opportunity to sell the customer a vehicle you can mark the deal dead by clicking the Dead button (check out the article about "How to Manage Your Sales Pipeline"). Enter a note as to why you are marking the deal dead, select your reason from the list available, and click the Kill Deal button.
