Exotic & prestige dealer intelligence

of buyers who
didn't say no.

Ember works the leads your team wrote off, recovering exotic and prestige car sales at 3% commission, paid only on results. No retainer. No risk. No lock-in.

The problem

Most exotic enquiries are written off, not lost.

Every week, serious buyers enquire about exotic and prestige cars and go quiet. Not because they changed their mind. Because your team moved on, the specific car sold, and nobody followed up.

Those leads sit in your CRM unworked. Meanwhile the buyer, still actively looking, purchases from a competitor who happened to reach out at the right moment.

The car they enquired about is gone. Their desire for something exceptional is not.

"84% of CRM leads go untouched after 30 days."

Industry research, 2025

"40% of dormant leads are still in the market and will buy within 90 days."

Automotive lead behaviour data

"Dealerships responding within 5 minutes are 100x more likely to convert. The real opportunity is the leads nobody responds to at all."

The process

Quiet intelligence.
Visible results.

01
You send us your dead leads and current stock
Export your dormant contacts from your CRM and share your current stock list: a spreadsheet or live product feed works fine. You track reactivated leads through your CRM. We verify activity against that data, so every commission is clean and evidenced.
Attribution locked
02
Ember starts the conversation
Our AI reaches out by SMS, tuned to your dealership's tone of voice. It references each lead's original interest, checks their requirements against your current stock, and suggests relevant alternatives if the car they wanted is gone. It adjusts its approach based on how they respond.
HNW-calibrated tone
03
You get a warm handoff, not a cold lead
The moment a prospect shows real intent, you get an alert with everything you need: what they originally enquired about, what was said, what car they're interested in now, and whether they have something to part-exchange. Your salesperson picks up mid-conversation, not from scratch.

Commercial model

The only fee
is a recovered sale.

3%

of the sale price · on recovered leads only · no retainer

If Ember recovers nothing, you owe nothing. No retainer, no setup fee, no contract term. The risk is entirely ours.
You pay only when a sale completes on a lead from your dormant pipeline. On a typical exotic sale, your gross margin is three to four times our commission, on a sale you'd already written off.
Every commission is verified through your CRM. A full timestamped conversation trail evidences every claim. Nothing is disputed.
No obligation to continue at any point. If it stops working for you, you stop. That's it.
Credentials

Built by someone who
knows this world.

No tool in this market is built for the buyer who takes three months to decide, makes decisions quietly, and is simultaneously selling a £200k asset to fund the next purchase. That's why I built Ember.

I spent six years at the centre of the exotic car world. At Supercar Blondie / SBX Cars, I built the data infrastructure that identified high-net-worth buyers within a 130 million-strong audience and scaled the auction marketplace from 5 to 40 units a month.

Before that, I was part of the leadership team at Car & Classic that took the business from startup to £74M annual revenue in three years, cutting customer acquisition costs by 600% in the process.

I know how exotic buyers think, how they communicate, and what makes them come back. Ember is built on that knowledge.
