Here
are ten effective tips to improve the customer experience at your car dealership.
1: Balanced Customer Facing
Team
Before initiating a customer experience improvement program, you need to work on your team.
Look for a combination of people from every area in your car dealership. Then plan and provide a balanced and supportive customer facing team.
2: Learn from Your Customers
Customer
expectations can change drastically over time, which is why learning from your
customers is the key to creating exceptional customer experiences.
If
not, you are unlikely to understand changing customer preferences well.
3: Work towards Surpassing
Customer Expectations
A satisfied customer is hardly likely to even give it a second thought. That is not the case with delighted customers, who are likely to talk about it.
Working
towards surpassing customer expectations is a highly rewarding business
strategy.
4: Go Omni-channel
Always
be available to customers on the channels of their choice.
Ease
of communication is a critical factor that immensely help to improve customer
experiences. This is the reason your dealership can do better with an omni-channel
approach to customer interactions.
5: Design a Customer
Experience Management Program
Customer
Experience Management (CEM) is the process of designing, tracking, and
influencing customer interactions at every stage in the customer journey.
A
well designed Customer Experience Management Program can help to be always in
control of customer interactions.
6: Personalize Your Customer
Service
Every interaction with your customer matters.
Promising customer-friendly service
alone isn’t sufficient. Your car dealership needs to personalize customer experiences.
7: Develop a Self-service Experience
Take a look at your customer self-service menu, including FAQs, service booking apps, test-drive forms, and more.
Making the customer self-service option
seamless and easy is a win-win proposition.
8: Offer Support via Phone
The
telephone works as a lifeline, every-time web and social interactions fail.
Always
offer support over the telephone.
9: Highlight Customers
Always highlight happy customers on your car dealer website, blogs, social media, etc. Tell stories around them.
This will help create a customer-centric ambiance around
your dealership.
10: Surprise Them with Gifts
Reward customer loyalty with gifts like discounts, takeaways, etc.
