IDENTIFY CONQUEST OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS PORTFOLIOS Finally, to maximize their available conquest opportunities, dealers need to take a holistic approach to identifying prospective sales leads in their market and across their portfolios. While's there's no one-size-fits all approach to conquesting for every dealership many have found success in three core areas in 2022: Leveraging the Service Drive With access to detailed customer and vehicle insights, the service drive provides a perfect opportunity for dealers to grow conquest marketing efforts. Leverage insights from your dealership's CRM, maturity manager and data mining solution to prioritize and engage your best service conquest opportunities, such as customers who are likely out of warranty or could benefit from a new product design. Pre-Orders and Reserved Sales For many brands, offering pre-orders and reserved sales allows dealerships with low or no inventory to continue engaging new vehicle customers despite shortages. Taking a proactive approach to engaging these prospective customers is key, especially amid ongoing production delays. Connecting with customers about their options early and setting realistic expectations will leave buyers feeling assured and, in turn, fuel future service and sales revenue. Preowned Buyers Driven by rising sales prices and new vehicle inventory shortages, consumer interest in used vehicles is rapidly growing. With pre- owned customers heavily product-driven – and competition for their purchase fiercer than ever – dealers need to leverage insights from their CRM, DMS and sales platform to identify prospective customers likely interested in the vehicles already available in their inventory to stay a step ahead. Amid ongoing inventory shortages and diminished brand loyalty, conquest marketing is presenting all-new opportunities to dealers in 2022. But regardless of where a prospect previously purchased – from a rival dealership in your city or from the same brand a few towns over – conquesting customers amid today's fierce competition requires dealers to take a data-driven approach.
