Gladius + your human BDC.
The honest scoreboard.
This isn't AI vs. your team. Your BDC reps are the closers. Gladius is the second shift that never sleeps — it covers what no human can cover alone so your people do what only humans can. Here's exactly who does what.
The gap no team can cover alone
Your BDC reps are good at their job. They're also human — they sleep, they take weekends, and there are only so many of them. That's not a people problem. It's a coverage problem. Here is the gap Gladius closes for them.
47%
Leads coming after 6pm
Nobody on the team is on the clock. These sit until morning — unless something has their back.
2.3 hours
Average first response, unassisted
By minute 6 the customer has moved on. No rep can manually beat a 47-second machine.
200/day
Raw leads burying your team
Hours of copy-paste triage that keeps your best reps off the phone with the buyers who matter.
Who covers what
The left column is the gap your team can't cover alone. The right column is the same team — with Gladius backing them.
What your humans always own — Gladius hands these straight to them
Your BDC team + Gladius.
Not either/or.
Your BDC reps are amazing at what humans do best: relationships, nuanced negotiation, and closing on the floor. Let them do THAT. Let Gladius take the first 80% off their plate — the soul-crushing grind of replying to 200 internet leads a day — and hand them the hot ones already warmed up. Same team. Far more reach.
Gladius covers for the team:
- • First response (under 60s, 24/7)
- • Qualifying questions
- • Early objection handling
- • Appointment setting
- • Morning-of confirmations
- • No-show recovery
- • Tireless nurture & follow-up
Your humans handle:
- • Hot leads ready to buy
- • Complex trade scenarios
- • F&I conversations
- • Escalations & complaints
- • Showroom closings
- • Delivery experiences
- • Building long-term relationships
The math: Keep your team exactly as it is. Add Gladius Growth ($2,497/mo). Your set rate goes from 18% to 34% on the same 100 leads/mo — no new hires, no new hours.
+192 appointments a year for the team you already have — about $201,600 in new gross at a 35% close and $3,000 average.
Don't replace your BDC.
Arm them.
Your BDC team will love Gladius. It takes the 2am grind and the weekend pile off their plate so they spend their day on the conversations that actually close. Same team, finally unmissable.
