Based on these settings, it is determined which buyers can view the vehicle and place a bid on it.

What are the benefits?

By using the Destination Protocol effectively:

✔ You can reach the right buyer more quickly.
✔ You can prevent vehicles from being offered to the wrong target audience.
✔ You make the sales process more structured.
✔ You increase the chance of a successful sale.

Consider the desired sales strategy for a vehicle in advance.

Take into account:

✔ The target audience that is best suited to sell the vehicle.

Choosing the right destination ensures that vehicles are offered more efficiently.
