HubSpot For Auto Dealerships
Stop Losing Leads — Automate Follow-Ups, Streamline Sales & Close More Deals.
Simplify lead management, boost team productivity, and turn browsers into buyers with HubSpot + 1406 Consulting.
Pain Points
If you’re like most dealerships we talk to, you likely feel the pressure to follow up with leads quickly, keep customers engaged, and deliver great service without overwhelming your team.
You might be saying:
“I lose track of leads when follow-up calls slip through the cracks.”
“My CRM and spreadsheets don’t talk to each other — data lives everywhere.”
“Our sales team spends more time chasing info than closing deals.”
HubSpot Integrations
For Your DMS + CRM
You rely on your DMS and CRM platforms for more than just day-to day data entry. They're your key sources for marketing strategy & revenue growth. The challenge is this: these systems often don’t have strong multi-channel digital marketing capabilities built in. And for groups with multiple stores, running highly targeted marketing across your dealerships can require a lot of manual work.
1406 has experience with solving these challenges and has built custom integrations to bring your DMS and CRM data into HubSpot's powerful marketing and sales automation platform. With HubSpot in place your marketing and BDC teams can execute the smart marketing and lead engagement that you've always wanted, even across multiple brands and locations.
1406 Consulting can implement integrations for any dealership DMS or CRM platform - schedule a call to talk through the details with us. Plus, if your dealership runs on CDK, we've also built Fortellis Certified Marketplace HubSpot integrations to make the setup process east:
- 1406 HubSpot + CDK DMS Integration – unify your customer data management with HubSpot for data sync of customers, sales, repair orders, and parts sales.
- 1406 HubSpot + CDK CRM Integration – centralize leads data to accelerate your marketing and BDC engagement, with a 2-way data sync to CDK CRM (eLeads).
These integrations eliminate silos, reduce manual entry, and give your marketing, sales, and service teams a single source of truth.
Solution
We get it. Managing leads, closing website inquiries, and engaging customers for high retention performance shouldn’t feel like a juggling act. That’s where HubSpot and 1406 come in. By modernizing your systems, you gain the ability to:
Centralized marketing across sales & service, so your teams finally work from one playbook
Automate follow-ups so every lead is nurtured without relying on manual effort
Unlock visibility into your pipeline for transparency & confidence from first inquiry to closed deal
Why 1406?
When you work with 1406 Consulting, you’re not just buying software — you’re partnering with a team that lives and breathes dealership operations. We have proven success helping dealership groups modernize their marketing and CRM systems using HubSpot, and we know what works (and what doesn’t)
As a HubSpot Elite Partner (top 1% worldwide), we’ve built exclusive custom data integrations - including certified Fortellis Marketplace apps for CDK DMS and CDK CRM - to eliminate the disconnect between your existing tools and HubSpot. But what really sets us apart is our approach: we roll up our sleeves, learn how your dealerships run, and build a strategy that fits your team; not the other way around.
Hear From Our Current Clients
“Matt and the 1406 team defined our brand, identified and targeted our best prospects, created relevant content, delivered the content and managed the automated processes to nurture leads to increase our opportunities to grow. Working closely with my team, 1406 has provided exceptional service and direction that have resulted in my business growing over 40% in the 2 plus years we have been working with them.”
Edifice Automotive Group
“I loved working with 1406 Consulting during our migration from our old marketing automation tool to HubSpot. From being patient when I needed to work through blips live, to finding the right materials or resources for more technical problems, to teaching me the basics around using some of the dashboard's fundamentals (basics that are simple, but not necessarily easy to Google vs. having someone visually show you the best way to click around and update). I hope we get to work together again and I would definitely trust this agency not just with onboarding support, but with the strategy, design, and development work they offer.”
Motorq
“Working with 1406 Consulting was a great experience. It would have been near impossible to get as far as we did in a short amount of time. Their experience and knowledge of HubSpot and advice truly helped us maximize the capabilities of HubSpot by helping us to utilize all the functionality of this robust tool. I would highly recommend 1406 Consulting as a resource to help with onboarding with HubSpot.”
