The starting point

Where they were when they came to us

Auto Vault is a recond car dealership with multiple outlets across Malaysia, selling Alphards and Vellfires with an average order value above RM200K. They were spending RM25K–30K a month on ads but converting only one to two cars a month.

Marketing was measured on cost per lead; it was the salesperson’s job to close whatever arrived, regardless of quality. Marketing carried no accountability for lead quality — and in some months, over 1,000 leads came in with around 70% of them spam or junk.

What was leaking — the diagnosisNever skipped

What the diagnosis found

The core problem was the KPI itself, and the missing accountability around it. When marketing is judged on cost per lead alone, it optimises for volume — and sales drowns.

We proposed a change: our system tracks every lead from click to revenue and scores every lead by quality, so marketing is judged on cost per qualified lead, not cost per lead. That aligns marketing with sales instead of leaving sales to chase junk.

One system, one picture, one KPI both teams believe

We built the full system: every lead tracked, quality-scored, and followed through to appointment and conversion — with every ad creative traceable down to the qualified leads and customers it produced.

With the KPI now clear — drive qualified leads efficiently, not just cheap leads — we took over the marketing and worked towards it. The tracking and dashboard made it extremely clear where the bottleneck was and what to improve next: marketing and sales finally working off one picture instead of in silos.

Customer-story videos built to pre-qualify, not just attract.

What changed — the result

Four times the qualified leads, for barely more per lead

cost per lead — quality 4×’d without paying more per lead

Optimising towards lead quality, the qualified-lead rate improved from 9% to 35–40% — while cost per lead barely increased. The net effect: cost per customer came down by over 60%.
