Low Supply/High Demand > Customer Experience High Supply/Low Demand < Customer Experience I fly weekly. And as I boarded my flight this morning I was again reminded that customer service is secondary to full flights, high costs, and limited options. It would seem like airlines are trying to recoup lost revenue during COVID by cutting options which pushes demand and prices and lowers the customer experience. In the automotive retail space, the trend is just the opposite. During the peak of the pandemic, low supply and high demand made prices skyrocket and customer experience wasn’t as big of a factor. Now as we see supply increases, what’s going to be the differentiators for dealerships? Might I suggest a few key areas that would impact me as a consumer: * Online experience - ease of navigation and transparent pricing, sales and service * Sincere interest in my needs - Customers shouldn’t be a commodity. Do you consistently do through a needs analysis? * Transparency in service - I’m shocked at how many dealers only offer verbal or handwritten estimates for recommendations. * Follow up - Do you have a manageable process for sales AND SERVICE follow ups? When was the last time you mystery shopped your dealership? Please reach out to me if you would like an outside review of your process and how they impact the customer experience and in turn the profitability. #customerexperience #profitvspeople #dealership The Reynolds and Reynolds Company #variableoperations #fixedoperartions #processevaluation
