As CEO, Carson drives product vision and go-to-market strategy. His rule is simple: if it does not move the needle on the floor, it does not ship.
AI RevOps for
dealerships.
DriveUpSales.ai was born from a simple truth: great dealerships still lose deals they should win, not from lack of effort but from a gap no existing tool was built to close. We exist to close it.
Carson Ray and Deepak Dhaka · the founders Our Mission
A store's best sales data has never been in a spreadsheet. It is in the hundreds of phone calls that come in every week: the vehicle someone asked for by name, the objection a rep talked straight past, the trade that came up in passing, the appointment that was never actually set. Until now almost none of those calls were recorded properly, and practically none of them were ever heard again.
So we built the phone system that listens. Every call arrives on a dedicated dealership number, routed however your store wants it, and is recorded on two separate channels so the AI knows exactly who said what. It transcribes live, puts the next right question on the rep's screen while the customer is still talking, and scores the whole conversation the second they hang up.
Call recording, quality review, and coaching used to mean a call center and a room of people to run it. We put all of it on every call, at every store, from day one.
Meet the founders.
Two people obsessed with a single outcome: helping dealers win more deals with less busywork.
Deepak leads engineering and AI architecture at DriveUpSales.ai. He builds the systems that convert raw dealership data, including calls, CRM events, and lead history, into real-time intelligence your team can act on in seconds.
Our principles.
Four rules we hold each other to when a decision could go either way.
Speed wins.
In automotive sales, the first responder wins the deal. Every feature we build is optimized for velocity above everything else.
Dealers first.
Every feature ships because a real dealer had a real problem. We don't build for investor demos or pitch decks. If it doesn't solve something a GM or sales rep faces daily, it waits.
AI with context.
Generic AI isn't enough. We train on automotive-specific data, objection patterns, and deal flow so the outputs are actually useful on the floor and not embarrassing.
Trust through results.
We don't sell outcomes we can't prove. Every claim we make is backed by data from real dealerships. When the numbers speak, we get out of the way.
Let's get you
on the line.
30 minutes. We'll show you what every call into your store is actually worth.
