The Kansas Automobile Dealers Association has selected LML Technologies, creators of the SalesDesk(TM) product suite, as a "preferred supplier," the two organizations announced jointly Dec. 2.

SalesDesk, featuring the company's flagship LeaseLink(R) product, is LML's premier solution for driving dealership profitability by providing fast access to multiple payment scenarios including lease, balloon and nonprime payment quotations.

"We are pleased to recommend the products and services of LML Technologies," said Don L. McNeely, president of KADA. "We recognize the profit potential they bring to our member dealers, and look forward to a long and productive relationship."

"We are thrilled to have the Association's support, and greatly appreciate their confidence in us," said LML Technologies Executive Vice President Karen Dillon. She added that the company's release of SalesDesk earlier this year promises that the partnership will be mutually rewarding. "We can now provide an even greater advantage to the Kansas dealers," she said.

The products within the SalesDesk suite are designed to work together to facilitate the sales process from point of customer contact through negotiation and the final deal. SalesDesk, which interfaces with the major DMS providers in the marketplace, includes three components:

• LeaseLink(R), which LML calls "the complete solution of software, data and service," allows dealers to quickly present timely and accurate lease options to their customers, according to the company. LeaseLink is the first product of its kind in the industry to offer a 100 percent data accuracy guarantee, the company said.

• FinanceWizard(TM), a nonprime finance and inventory control product that, according to LML, "provides all the automated tools needed to instantly bring the lender, vehicle and customer together regardless of credit history." Dealers are able to provide more options for customers so they can move through deals quickly and accurately, according to the company.

• GuestTrack(TM), a business development tool that LML says allows salespeople to accurately track guests' personal information and vehicle preferences. Dealers can consistently and professionally follow up and identify target markets - and turn prospects into customers, according to the company. GuestTrack integrates customer information with all SalesDesk products, speeding the deal process and driving dealer profitability.

The Dec. 2 announcement marks LML Technologies' 22nd state dealer association endorsement; the company also has earned several national endorsements.
