Dealers have good reason to feel optimistic about the state of the automotive industry heading into the end of 2025. \u200b\u200b\u200bAs of October 31, year-to-date retail industry sales volume was up 3 percent, lead volume was up 8.1 percent and lead sales were up 10.1 percent over the same time period in 2024. Yet, behind those gains lies a growing challenge. The number of leads that defected (purchased from a competing dealership) also rose 6 percent over the same period.<\/p>\n

While most dealers closely track their close rate (the percentage of leads that convert to sales),\u00a0fewer consider how it correlates with their defection rate (the percentage of leads that buy elsewhere). As competition for customers\u00a0intensifies,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0becoming increasingly important for dealers to understand the relationship between both metrics. The process of analyzing how close and defection rates interact starts with examining what the sales data reveals about lead behavior\u00a0on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Reading the Signals Behind Sales and Defection Data<\/h3>\n

Comparing close and defection rates across lead sources reveals how buyer intent and engagement differ by channels. Urban Science\u2019s analysis found internet leads (those originating from an online source) have an average 30-day close rate of 6 percent and defect at a rate of 16 percent. On the other hand, phone leads are closer to a 1:1 ratio of defections to sales, with a 14 percent close rate and 16 percent defection rate over the initial 30-day period. Unsurprisingly, showroom leads have the highest close rate at 25 percent over 30 days. However, showroom leads also have the highest 30-day defection rate at 20 percent.<\/p>\n

When viewed in isolation, close rates can create a false sense of security. A dealer might see their\u00a0team is\u00a0closing showroom leads at a 25 percent rate and assume the sales process is fully\u00a0optimized. Once dealers compare their close rate to their defection rate, the complete picture of buyer behavior comes into focus \u2014 revealing just how much opportunity is left on the table.<\/p>\n

By evaluating close and defection rates\u00a0regularly, dealers can pinpoint where their process or messaging falls short.\u00a0Are follow-up processes ending too soon?\u00a0Are leads being matched to the right salespeople based on their strengths?\u00a0Recognizing those patterns helps dealers see whether performance gaps stem from external conditions (such as rising customer expectations for faster, more personalized communication) or internal process issues, a critical distinction for improving results.\u00a0Once dealers are empowered to\u00a0identify\u00a0patterns in their sales and defection data each day, they can better understand\u00a0why\u00a0buyers are defecting in the first place.<\/p>\n

Why Auto Buyers Defect<\/h3>\n

The average dealership defection rate reached 20 percent in 2025 and continues to rise as\u00a0economic conditions, buyer behaviors and dealer processes and tools evolve. Vehicle affordability is weighing heavily on\u00a0consumers\u00a0as inflation, tariff uncertainty and the\u00a0expiration of federal tax credits for electric vehicles (EVs)<\/a>\u00a0all add new financial pressure.\u00a0At the same time, rival dealerships are becoming more aggressive within local markets, targeting in-market\u00a0shoppers\u00a0and\u00a0seeking\u00a0to steal share in competitors\u2019 primary market areas (PMAs). Dealers now face a challenging dynamic: higher lead\u00a0volume\u00a0but a growing share of lost opportunities.<\/p>\n

A widening disconnect between dealers and consumers is adding to the complexity of monitoring and managing\u00a0defection. Data from the\u00a02025 Urban Science Harris Poll Study<\/a>*\u00a0revealed an\u00a0approximately 20-point\u00a0gap between what auto buyers and dealers perceive to be the biggest barriers to\u00a0purchasing\u00a0or leasing a vehicle. Almost two-thirds (64 percent) of auto buyers cited affordability as their top concern, followed by insurance costs (52 percent) and the cost to service vehicles (47 percent). But when dealers were asked to\u00a0identify\u00a0auto buyers\u2019 top concerns, just 40 percent cited vehicle\u00a0affordability,\u00a037 percent said the cost of vehicle insurance and 28 percent said service costs.<\/p>\n

Rising affordability concerns are changing how shoppers engage with dealers. As budgets tighten, many shoppers are\u00a0submitting\u00a0more leads to\u00a0compare\u00a0pricing and\u00a0explore\u00a0financing options, leading buyers to quickly rule out dealers who\u00a0fail to\u00a0respond promptly, thoroughly or with genuine courtesy. If a salesperson\u2019s\u00a0initial\u00a0engagement falls short, shoppers are more likely to\u00a0defect to\u00a0another dealership: one where their concerns are acknowledged and addressed. By tracking defections daily, dealers can zero in on what stage in the sales funnel\u00a0these\u00a0breakdowns occur and use that knowledge to improve sales performance and retention.<\/p>\n

Acting on Defection Insights<\/h3>\n

Defections are a normal part of doing business, but by using daily defection data to gain visibility into lost sales, dealers can gain a major competitive advantage. \u200b\u200bResearch shows 74 percent of dealers are not fully satisfied with their ability to know if a lead has defected. This lack of visibility costs time and money as sales teams continue to follow up with shoppers who have already purchased elsewhere, wasting effort that could be directed toward leads who are still in market.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u57ce\u5e02\u79d1\u5b66\u00a0SalesAlert\u2122<\/a>\u00a0solution delivers daily insight into individual lead-level customer defections driven by the company\u2019s unrivaled industry sales data. Dealers enrolled with\u00a0SalesAlert\u00a0are notified when a\u00a0lead\u00a0purchases\u00a0a new or certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle from another same- or competitive-brand dealership, allowing sales teams to focus on the opportunities still in play.\u00a0Defection\u00a0data also helps dealers\u00a0identify\u00a0where sales processes need refinement and where teams may\u00a0benefit\u00a0from\u00a0additional\u00a0coaching. In many cases, this means getting back to\u00a0executing the basics brilliantly<\/a>: tracking every lead,\u00a0revising follow-up\u00a0processes\u00a0and ensuring every interaction adds value for the buyer. In addition, dealers can use defection data to tap into opportunities to re-engage lost leads through service, rebuilding loyalty and\u00a0creating a bridge to future sales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0SalesAlert\u00a0Lift Study conducted by Urban Science found dealerships using daily defection data achieved measurable improvements in performance. Of the 260+ dealerships analyzed, those\u00a0demonstrating\u00a0high engagement with the\u00a0SalesAlert\u00a0platform (dealers averaging more than 13 logins per month) achieved a 6.5 percent average lift in sales performance and gained approximately 25 incremental sales over six months.<\/p>\n

Getting the Complete Picture of Dealership Performance<\/h3>\n

When dealers rely solely on their close rate to evaluate success, they risk overestimating results and overlooking deeper performance gaps. Sales teams gain a more complete understanding of their performance when they assess both their close rate and defection rate.<\/p>\n

As Urban Science\u2019s data shows, dealers who learn from lost leads outperform their peers. Dealers gain a clearer path to sustained growth when they use defection data as a catalyst for progress. With both metrics in focus, dealers can fine-tune their processes, strengthen their customer engagement\u00a0strategies\u00a0and capture more future sales opportunities.<\/p>\n

*This survey was conducted online by The Harris Poll on behalf of Urban Science among 3,026\u00a0US adults aged 18+ who currently own or lease or plan to purchase or lease a new or used vehicle in the next 12 months (referred to in this report as \u201cauto-buyers\u201d or \u201cauto-buying public\u201d) and 254 U.S. OEM automotive dealers, whose titles were Sales Manager, General Manager or Principal\/VP\/Owner.<\/h6>\n
The auto-buying public surveys were conducted from January 10 to February 4, 2025. Data are\u00a0weighted\u00a0where necessary by demographics to bring them in line with their actual proportions in the population. The dealer survey was conducted January 9 to January 30, 2025. Data were weighted as needed based on the average of current and\u00a0previous\u00a0waves for gender, car\u00a0types\u00a0sold, job title and urbanicity.<\/h6>\n
The sampling precision of Harris online polls is measured by using a Bayesian credible interval. For this study, the sample data is\u00a0accurate\u00a0to within \u00b12.2 percentage points for U.S. auto-buyers and \u00b17.1 for U.S. OEM automotive dealers using a 95% confidence level.<\/h6>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
