We first met Anthony Giagnacovo and Steve Laureys at the Driving Sales event last year. We sat down and had a chat with them to find out what the focus of CallREVU was and how they best serve the dealership body. Several months later, and after we surveyed over 450+ dealerships on the subject of call management among other topics, a few companies stood above the others. One such company, CallRevu, was enthusiastically reviewed by dealerships not on our CallREVU client list. It was a close call (pun intended) but our decision is in.

CallRevu is the Dealership News Call Management, “Vendor of the Year for 2019”. Congrats to CEO Anthony Giagnacovo and Steve Laureys the Senior Director of Sales for doing great business.

By the way, just so it’s clear, you know, Kelly. the difference, a CallRevu and almost anybody else in the market, we are 100% automotive focused.
