Copy this for your vendor
On a test customer, please show us: 1. The reply for a vehicle that is available, then for the same VIN after it sells. 2. What is scheduled to send, and what reaches the test phone, when the shopper replies, buys, or opts out. 3. Which employee gets the conversation when the tool cannot answer, and what the shopper hears.
