BDC glossary

Phone-up

An inbound sales call from a prospective buyer, as opposed to a walk-in or an internet lead.

Phone-ups are among the highest-intent contacts a dealership receives; the caller has a vehicle in mind and a question. The BDC's job on a phone-up is to answer the question, qualify briefly and set an appointment, not to sell the car on the phone.

Also called: phone up, sales call.
