Conversational AI texting · Vehicle transport · 12 months

656 deals and $918K booked through AI text conversations

A nationwide vehicle transport broker was booking shipments the same way most high-volume operators do: ad traffic in, quote requests stacking up, and a sales team buried in repetitive texting. Vision Automated deployed a conversational AI text agent, backed by a human team monitoring and tuning every week. All numbers below come from the client's CRM and verified monthly reporting.

January is historically their slowest month. Counting labor, task-switching losses, and reclaimed selling time, the AI's routine-conversation handling was worth an estimated $4,300 a month to the team.

Before and after

What changed for the sales team

Before Manual

  • Reps drowning in manual follow-up: FAQs, price questions, "just checking in" texts
  • High-intent leads waiting on a human to be free, then going quiet
  • Follow-up depth depended on which rep answered and how busy the day was
  • After-hours inquiries sat until morning

After AI text agent

  • Every lead answered by text in real time, around the clock
  • Reps only touch conversations that need judgment: a Polite Goodbye trigger and human takeover handle the edge cases
  • Every deal gets the same disciplined follow-up, as many messages as it takes
  • Weekly monitoring: 300+ conversations reviewed, prompts tuned, compliance kept current

The finding that matters

Most deals do not close on the first text

Three out of four closed deals took a real conversation: questions answered, trust built, follow-ups that did not quit. That volume of disciplined follow-up is exactly the work human teams drop when they get busy, and exactly the work the AI never drops.

The month's lost-deal data told the other half of the story: 7 in 10 lost deals went to a competitor who simply got there first. In this market, speed is not a nice-to-have. It is the whole game.

Behind the numbers

Not just software: an operated system

Over the 12-month engagement

  • Conversational prompts continuously improved from real transcript review
  • Human handoff rules refined: same-day requests, images, and edge cases route to a person

Built around the business

  • Automated workflows built around the business: discount codes updating themselves at midnight, reminders that chase until resolved
  • SMS compliance kept ahead of new regulations

One engagement, not a forecast. Client anonymized. Metrics from verified monthly reporting.
