THE GAME
[ RELEVANCE ]
• BUILDING YOUR CUSTOMER FOR LIFE PROCESS IS A GAME OF HOW RELEVANT YOU CAN BE
DEFINITION OF CRM
• RIGHT TIME

• When someone comes to your
dealership through the internet, phones, or doors…
• What processes do you have in place to KNOW and UNDERSTAND who your customers are?

PHONE
Following statistics are based off of a study covering a two month period, 1,956,624 calls and 346 dealerships.
39% of leads driven to a dealership are left stranded
on the phone
Most of the 39% were callers asking for a specific person
Out of the 61% of calls that did get to talk to
someone only 6% of the calls included an attempt to
set an appt.
Time it takes to get a qualified rep
– 67% of online shoppers will call for any
purchase greater than $100 (atg/oracle survey)
• Imagine how that percentile is affected for big ticket
items
– Dealerships should be managing true
connection time (time it takes for caller to be
connected to qualified agent).
Questions to ask yourself
– What are you doing to make sure that you convert those
phone leads that you fight so hard for and spend so much
on?
– Are you investing in call tracking products to give you
visibility into sometimes scary reality at your store?
– What happens at your store when someone calls for steve
but steve isn’t there?
Information Capture on Phone Ups
• Click trail
• Referring source • Recent Phone Call
Activity
• CID Information
• Rep that handled the call
SMART PHONE
• Are phone ups as valuable as internet leads at your store?
• Do we ask for the appointment when we get the phone to ring? • What’s more important an inbound call or an outbound call?
[ SMART ]
WALK-IN
Information Capture and how the
buying experience is changing…
1. Manual
2. Reverse Phone Lookup
3. DL Scanner
Nordstroms vs. Macey’s
Apple vs. Your Dealership
• People feel more comfortable giving you
information when you are standing with them
and not behind a computer.
- % Increase in Confirmed Appt. – 31%
- % Increase in Appointments Opened – 16% - % Increase in Store Visits – 15%
- % Increase in Demo – 19%
- % Increase in Sold – 16%

Benefits of Capturing Information

Deals out of One
• Your CRM should REVEAL
OPPORTUNITIES
SMART WALK-IN
1. Capturing information more efficiently 2. Tracking Quantity and Quality of Data
3. Tracking the Ups that aren’t entered (Unconverted Up)
