Conversations Unleashed

Don’t be a dial up dinosaur. Come learn three steps to conversations in the modern age. Bring your laptop to this working session. How customers use the phone has changed and conversations matter more than ever. Are you paying attention?   Your dealership likely has 3 or 4 numbers on your website masthead and probably always has. Have you asked yourself why? Look at how ‘less is more’ as we review new methods of attribution that make things easier. We will review the evolution of call analytics and discuss the true depth of information you can find about who is calling and why – and this is just the start. We will discuss the caller analytics we typically use, and what you could be using. Finally, once we understand in detail what is happening when customers call, we will dig in and discuss what your dealership process is and why using an IVR is probably not saving you time or money.

Do You Have Customer Relationships or Transaction-Ships

The enrichment of first party data taking place in CDPs today provides automobile dealerships with a whole new way to look at their customers. The seemingly endless list of data points that are available to enrich customer records may help you to determine who has the greatest propensity to purchase or service, BUT just because you know who to talk to doesn’t mean that you know what to say or that you should ignore everyone else.

 In this workshop we will discuss:

  • How quality content supports every stage of the customer lifecycle
  • What consumers consider quality content 
  • Examples of content dealers can use to:
    • Win new business
    • Build trust
    • Retain and grow the customer base
    • Provide a better customer experience
