Your parts in every dealer’s catalogue, fitment answered on the first reply

Dealers, shops and distributors reached by name, and a desk that answers the fitment question from people who know the machines.

Charm runs both halves of a parts and accessories brand: the outreach that reaches every dealer, shop and distributor by name, and a desk that answers from the fitment matrix and the install sheet.

Tackling the dealer’s counter and the fitment question

Your challenges

  • The dealer chooses first: A part is chosen at the dealer’s counter by a professional, long before the rider sees it.
  • A pitch about the mission: A dealer needs to know which machines a part fits. A message about the brand’s mission does not tell them.
  • A scattered trade: The buyers sit across franchise dealers, independent shops, distributors and fleets. Riders decide what to buy in forums and groups.
  • The fleet quote: A fleet or dealer ask is not a support ticket. It has to reach your sales team, not wait in the support queue.
  • Fitment is the whole conversation: “Will it fit my machine?” is the question behind most tickets. Agents have to learn the vehicles, not just the parts.
  • The customer knows the machine: Riders can tell a script from a person in one reply. The desk has to know the machines.
  • The season sets the volume: Tickets follow the riding season, and a desk staffed for the average week is short at the peak.
  • The wrong part: A rider orders the wrong part, or a part still rubs after install. Each needs a rule, not a guess.

How Charm helps

  • Dealers counted, managers named: Every franchise dealer, independent shop, distributor and fleet buyer in your region, with the parts or service manager verified by name.
  • The machines, not the mission: Email, LinkedIn and calling on the same dealer list, naming the machines you fit, with replies in your CRM.
  • Ads to the riders: Consumer ads to the riders who buy your category, tested per persona until one wins.
  • Fleet quotes flagged to sales: A fleet or dealer ask that reaches the desk is flagged to your sales team, not answered as a support ticket.
  • Answered on the first reply: The desk answers from your fitment matrix, with the part number and the hardware that ships with it, in one message.
  • A desk trained on the vehicles: The fitment matrix, the install steps, the warranty terms and the season, learned before the first ticket.
  • Staffed before the spring spike: Coverage scales with the riding season, set in the agreement and planned before it starts.
  • Exchanges and escalations, by rule: The wrong part is exchanged with a return label inside your helpdesk. A part that still rubs goes to your product team with photos.

Outreach that fills the shelf, and a desk that keeps the customer. Each runs on its own or together.

Why Charm

The right partner for a powersports or automotive brand

A team taking notes around a wooden table

Both halves, one partner

We reach dealers, shops, distributors and fleet buyers by name, then run a desk that answers fitment on the first reply and flags the fleet quote to your sales team.

Run in adjacent categories

For Stone Products Unlimited, 684 architects and designers wrote back. For Sutro, we reached the pool trade by name, then a desk that learned the product answered the same night.

The matrix comes first

The fitment matrix is the first page of the desk playbook, built by year, make and model while the sending domains and LinkedIn seats warm up.

The riding calendar

Pre-season install questions, peak-season volume, closeout fitment and winter warranty. Coverage follows the riding calendar, so the desk is staffed up before the spring order lands.

Your stack, one desk

Conversations stay in your helpdesk, orders run through your store and returns through your 3PL. Email, chat, phone and social DMs land on one desk.

Case study · UTV Source

A parts brand’s desk, rebuilt by people who know the machines.

UTV Source sells off-road parts to riders, shops and dealers. We rebuilt their Gorgias, put QA, coaching and an LMS in place, and handed back a team that costs 25% less.

Charm×Powersports & autoCase study 01 / 01
Off-road parts and accessories→ Riders, shops, and dealers

Fitment questions answered by people who ride.

UTV Source sells parts for machines that live hard, which means the questions are specific: will this fit a 2021 X3, what torque, what about the lift kit. A wrong answer is a return and a lost customer.

We built a team that knows the catalog and the machines, staffed phone and chat through the season, and cut the back-and-forth on fitment to a single reply.

Questions

Straight answers for powersports and automotive brands.

Do your agents know the vehicles?

The desk is hired for your product and trained on your playbook before go-live, and the fitment matrix is the first page of it. Riders get an answer from someone who knows the machine.

Do you reach dealers and shops?

Yes, by email, phone and LinkedIn, from a list built and verified for your category.

What about the riding season?

We staff for the peak, not the average. Seasonal coverage is set in the agreement and planned before the season starts.

Which systems?

Your helpdesk for the conversation, your store and your catalogue for fitment and orders, and your 3PL for returns.

Have you run a powersports brand?

Not yet as a named case study. Stone Products Unlimited sells through architects, designers and dealers, and Spout through installers and resellers: the same dealer-and-trade channel a parts brand sells into. The playbook is the same, and we walk through both programs on the call.

Your parts in the dealer’s catalogue, and the fitment question answered.

Twenty minutes. Bring the catalogue and the dealers you want. You leave with the dealer count, the desk design, and a start date.
