Do you agree? Over half of all new and used car buyers use the Internet to do research before making a buying
decisionAnd that number is on the rise?
Many of these customers have access to more product and price information than salespeople do?
The sales persons perceived lack of knowledge can reduce credibility and trust with customers?
The Internet informed customer brings new challenges that threaten profitability and CSI?
Some of the information these customers have is incorrect and this can hurt sales and profits?
Many sales people lack the training to handle these challenges without hurting sales, profits &CSI?
The Internet informed buyers who know more expect more from your dealership and may buyelsewhere if they do not get the experience they expect?
A strategy for preparing salespeople and managers to handle the challenges of selling to theInternet informed customer on the showroom and phone can boost sales, profit and CSI?
Dealerships who market their online dealership website will attract more customers than dealerswho are not promoting their website?
If we confirm 100% of our appointments, we can double our show ratio and in turn that willdouble our sales and profits?
A large percent of customers do not respond because they are a month to 2 months away frombuying their next vehicle?
If we follow-up with customers who do not respond or do not show up for their appointments,we can double our closing ratio?
A dealership with a trained and dedicated Internet Manager that who implements a clearlydefined sales process will have 2 to 4 times better results than a part time Internet Manager?
