Equity Mining vs. Data Mining:
Why Your Dealership Needs a Sales Platform
Many dealers drive sales and profits with automotive data mining and equity mining tools. Some,
however, are leaving profits on the table by only using the capabilities those tools provide while failing
to take advantage of similar opportunities in other parts of their business.
Benefits of a Sales Platform
Data mining and equity mining are powerful tools to drive sales, but they can only accomplish so
much when they're used as standalone tools, rather than as components in a comprehensive
automotive sales platform. A sales platform:
• Identifies patterns and similarities to evaluate the customer's likelihood to purchase a
vehicle and pinpoints the highest-quality prospects for sales teams to engage with.
• Streamlines the process of getting to know prospects within all aspects of your business
(retention, service-to-sales, conquest).
• Transforms data into intelligent marketing campaigns that deliver the right personalized
messages at timely moments in their buyer journey to maximize the potential to close.
• Generates personalized talking points and other information for the sales and F&I teams in
order to help close deals.
• Provides more accurate identification of when a consumer is ready to re-enter the sales
process and begin the cycle all over again.
• Offers thorough reporting and attribution to help strategize your future success.

DATA MINING
Data mining involves analyzing as much
information as possible about potential
customers to understand the factors
affecting a car purchase decision and to
identify those customers who are most
motivated to buy. This includes finances,
lifestyle information, social media posts,
driving patterns and credit reports.
EQUITY MINING
Equity mining focuses on existing customers
who are in position to trade into a new car.
This process identifies prospects who have
positive equity in their vehicles and could be
profitably placed in a new vehicle with
attractive finance terms. This considers
factors such as factory incentives, trade-in
value, interest rate differences and more.
