Prospective customers expect to connect with your dealership and there are a number of ways of doing it, including social media, text, email, chat, etc.
Prospects also expect a
seamless experience each time they connect with you. This is where Omnichannel Customer Experience
Management comes into play.
What is Omnichannel Customer
Experience Management?
Omnichannel customer experience management is about providing a seamless customer experience when your customers interact with your dealership, irrespective of the channel they choose at that time.
This uninterrupted continuity in interactions
can help your dealership to build a strong online reputation.
It is important to understand that multichannel and omnichannel are two different things. In a multichannel experience, your customers can connect with you through different channels like phone, email, website landing pages, social media pages, chat, etc. In the omnichannel experience, all these channels are available, and there is continuity of communication when prospects and customers switch from one channel to another.
In short, the omnichannel
experience ensures seamless continuity without any interruption, regardless of
how many times customers and prospects switch channels.
For
instance, let’s imagine that your customer raised an issue on the dealership’s Facebook
page. With multichannel communication, you should have a staff in charge of
Social Media to address this. Conversely, with omnichannel communications, all
your channels will be connected to a single database, and a single expert team
will be addressing all of these issues.
