Stay Ahead of the Game with Online Shoppers
Even before the pandemic hit, consumers were starting their car shopping online. For many
dealers, this means the transition from a reactive response to shoppers' online inquiries to a
proactive sales process is led by their BDC.
With the right technology in place to connect online touchpoints to data-driven consumer insights,
a dealership BDC can be a source of proactive appointments for the sales team by using data-
driven analytics to make meaningful phone calls that now aren't so cold due to the insights
available to you on that buyer.
As more prospects visit your dealership's website, audit your
BDC's ability to identify proactive sales opportunities. Ask
yourself: How much does your BDC know about online
prospects? Is your BDC able to identify early buying behaviors,
such as customers using your online trade-in evaluator? Once
an appointment is scheduled, how are these insights shared
within the dealership's four walls?
For a BDC to effectively identify proactive sales opportunities
among online shoppers and to nurture prospective buyers into
the sales process as firm appointments, it's critical for the BDC,
new car and used car sales teams, and marketing to all work
from the same customer insights. Without that unified platform,
your dealership simply can't execute on a tightly managed sales
process and deliver a consistent customer experience.
Don't Forget About Loyalty
Proactive sales techniques aren't just valuable for identifying and engaging net new prospects –
they're critical for retention. By utilizing behavior prediction technology, dealers can better
determine when customers they've sold will be in-market and immediately engage them before
they've had any thoughts of defection. Dealers who leverage Market EyeQ's behavior prediction
sales platform are easily able to identify which customers are ready to buy and the reasons why,
empowering our dealer partners to increase their retention sales up to 15%.
For auto dealers, an easy sales process and high CSI are excellent starting points for an ongoing
loyalty relationship that can drive ROI and profits for years to come.
