What to Do When Outbid: Getting Back in the Game

Been outbid? No worries. We’ll tell you if someone tops your bid, you can up your offer.

  1. If we’ve gathered extra info on a car, you can use it to revise your bid and try again.
  2. You’ll be notified when you are outbid on a job. You can always increase your offer accordingly.
  3. You may have bid hot, and from more information our team received from the vehicle, you can amend and place a pre-qualified bid.
  4. When a lead is reassigned as a pre-qualified bid, please check the fact-finding and notes in the pre-lead screen.
  5. From here, you can bid more confidently and gain another chance to win a car!

So, next time, if outbid, increase your offer.

And if a lead has been pre-qualified, place another bid.

Keep Track of Your Bids Easily

Use our ‘MY BIDS’ table to stay updated on your bids. You’ll get notified of new opportunities by push and email.

If you get more leads than you’re bidding on, it’s time to up your game.

Here, you can view every single job you have made an offer on.

  • Again, you can check your assigned leads under your My Leads section. As standard, we’ll notify you of all leads sent for bidding or claiming via push and email notifications.
  • You should ask yourself how many leads you have been assigned compared to how many bids you’ve placed.
  • Something must change if you’re assigned more leads than you’ve placed bids on!

Of course, not everything may be for you, but monitoring how many bids you’ve placed against how many you’re assigned is a sure sign of performance on your side.
