Your dealership’s success ultimately depends on your customers and how well you interact with them. That is why it is so essential that you provide a consistent and professional customer service experience. When the phone calls are not answered at your dealership promptly, the client relationship is jeopardized, and you are potentially missing out on a world of sales opportunities. When your phones are answered consistently and professionally, you and your clients have several short- and long-term benefits.
Improve Customer Retention and Loyalty
Every single call that comes to your dealership is critical to the success of your business, and missed calls could lead to lost business and potentially lost customers. Every time the phone rings, it is an opportunity for sales, profits, and building a stronger customer relationship.
Reduce Marketing Expenses
Service or sales discounts, promotions, and even slashing prices are common practices dealerships use to conquer new customers. When you allow missed inbound phone calls in your dealership, your marketing investment is wasted and thrown away.
Hiring PremierConnect will ensure that you always have a knowledgeable and professional staff member ready to answer your calls to help clients get the information they need.
Reduce Client Complaints
One of the most common complaints we hear from clients and at dealerships when we do our consulting is that “no one ever seems to answer the phones.” Many unanswered calls often turn into either customer complaints or even open the door for a client to defect to a competitor.
