In an Ever-Changing Marketplace, Gain a Competitive Advantage with Easily Accessible Daily Defection Data.

There are several factors contributing to the roller-coaster like ride of the automotive marketplace. Macro-economic conditions are slowing demand and moderating prices at the same time as production and inventory levels are rebounding off their pandemic related lows. Meanwhile, dealers are operating leaner than before while trying to keep up evolving consumer behavior in a highly competitive landscape. Given these factors, how can dealerships employ a more effective sales strategy to overcome these challenges and thrive in a more competitive marketplace? With defection data that’s specific, timely and deep.

From Old School to Cool: Updating Sales Processes for Modern Customers

The automotive industry is in the midst of a dynamic and rapid transformation, driven by the rising expectations of a new generation of customers. This group demands a personalized, seamless, and fast shopping experience, yet many dealerships maintain outdated sales processes that no longer cater to the needs of modern shoppers. In this workshop, we’ll explore the ever-widening gap between the ways dealers sell and the ways that customers want to buy. We’ll pinpoint specific strategies to bridge this divide by aligning sales processes with modern customer expectations. Additionally, we’ll explore the latest industry trends and digital retailing best practices, empowering dealers to adapt and evolve their sales processes to enhance the experience for today’s customers. By prioritizing the customer experience, attendees will be well-positioned to drive loyalty, increase sales, and maximize profitability.
