Everything you need to know about LotShift
1. Import Lead — Copy the FULL customer page from your CRM (VinSolutions, DealerSocket, etc.) and paste it. LotShift auto-detects name, phone, email, vehicle interest, visit notes, and communication history.
2. Draft Message — LotShift analyzes the situation (new lead, follow-up, gone silent, etc.) and generates a personalized text, email, or phone script. Choose your style and send.
3. Score Outcomes — When a customer replies, go to Outcomes and log whether they responded, set an appointment, or went cold. This trains your CTA intelligence over time.
4. Check Pipeline — See all your leads sorted by temperature (hot/warm/cold). Focus on Hot leads first — they're the ones most likely to buy this week.
5. Review Coaching — Check your response time, channel mix, and persistence stats. The Sales Playbook gives you scripts and objection handlers.
Every lead gets a score from 0–100 based on these factors:
• Recency — How recently you contacted them (biggest factor)
• Engagement — Have they replied? Set an appointment?
• Vehicle Interest — Do they have a specific vehicle in mind?
• Visit History — Have they been to the dealership?
• Touch Count — More follow-ups = higher persistence score
🔴 Hot (70-100) = Act now, high chance of closing
🟡 Warm (40-69) = Keep working, they're interested
🔵 Cold (1-39) = Needs re-engagement
⚪ Lost (0) = Bought elsewhere or dropped out
Import your lot inventory from vAuto, DealerSocket, or any DMS export (CSV, Excel, or PDF).
LotShift uses your inventory to:
• Match customers to vehicles on your lot
• Include specific stock details in messages
• Suggest alternatives when their first choice isn't available
You can import multiple files — they merge together. Used and new inventory combine into one searchable list. Duplicate stock numbers are updated rather than duplicated.
Performance — Response time, persistence (avg touches per lead), and channel breakdown (text vs email vs phone).
CTA Intelligence — After you score enough outcomes (10+), LotShift learns which call-to-action phrases get the best response rates from YOUR customers.
Trends — Weekly tracking of messages sent and response rates. Needs at least 2 weeks of data to show meaningful trends.
Sales Playbook — Ready-made scripts for objection handling, voicemail, follow-up sequences, and closing techniques. These work regardless of data — use them from day one.
• Paste the FULL CRM page — more data = better messages
• Score every outcome — this unlocks CTA intelligence and trend tracking
• Best times to reach out: Tue-Thu, 10am-12pm or 5-7pm for texts; 10am-11:30am for calls
• 80% of sales happen after touch #5 — don't give up after 2 attempts
• Use Rewrite to get different versions of a draft
• All data stays local — nothing is sent to the cloud, no analytics, no telemetry
• Import inventory regularly to keep vehicle matches current
Ctrl+V in Import — auto-pastes and parses CRM data
Enter in search fields — filters immediately
Esc — closes detail panels and modals

🔒Privacy & Legal
Privacy Policy
Your data never leaves your computer.
LotShift is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here's exactly what happens with your data:
Data Storage
All customer records, messages, inventory, scores, reminders, and settings are stored locally on your machine in the LotShift application directory. Nothing is uploaded to any server, cloud service, or third-party platform.
No Analytics or Tracking
LotShift does not collect usage analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or behavioral data. There are no tracking pixels, cookies, or fingerprinting. No data is shared with advertisers or data brokers.
No Network Requests
LotShift runs entirely offline. The web interface runs on localhost (your machine only). No data is transmitted over the internet. The only network activity is loading the local web page in your browser.
CRM Data
When you paste CRM data, it is parsed and stored locally. LotShift does not connect to your CRM system or access any external databases. You control what data enters the system.
Data Deletion
You can delete all data at any time from Settings → Reset Data. This permanently removes all customer records, messages, inventory, and settings from your machine.
