The Key to a Happy Customer
2009
1. What were you delighted by or was enjoyable when purchasing or using your new car?
– The style and the price. The price was 9,000, which I believe is far in payments. The style is sporty even if it isn’t a sports car. Also, the test drive feels amazing and only gets better when you finally get it and know that it belongs to you. It does a lot of help to your ego and self-esteem.
2. What across the entire car purchasing customer journey was most frustrating and why?
-When you negotiate the deal terms, and when you finalize vehicle finance. It’s frustrating, kind of embarrassing, confusing, and makes us feel anxious. These emotions are what drive purchase decisions or cause shoppers to leave before the sale. And then we’re hit with a sales pitch for add-on products we don’t understand and haven’t had time to research. It’s a mental hurdle, and it’ll make us less likely to return or to recommend the dealership to friends or family.
3. If you had the freedom to create a more seamless and enjoyable car purchasing experience, what would that experience look like?
-Don’t save it all until the very end. Utilize some of the in-dealership waiting and idle time that is inevitable throughout the process to give your customers information about add-on products that are designed to protect their investment they can read at their leisure. This can be on paper, on a tablet, or on your website. -Have your sales staff trained and ready to discuss the F&I add-ons at any time—not just in the F&I office. -It’s more important than ever that dealers be transparent in providing consumers with information about pricing and payment as early in the process as possible. Consumers do much of their pricing research online across multiple devices, so help them complete their F&I education (definitions and cost) in advance by providing resources on your website. This way, they can feel knowledgeable and more prepared prior to arriving at the dealership.
Key to the whole experience by the customer was a waste of time and many forget to think your time also. It will never be recovered and if the process was revisited to be changed it would have achieved what it was designed for.
Make it a champion day!
