Customer Experience

One of the biggest focuses for the automotive industry during these growing sales is on the
entire Customer Experience. This includes every aspect from searching the dealer site for
inventory to setting the appointment to the meet and greet process, walk around, sale and
finance experience. This transitions into the service department and as retailers know this is
where dealers will either build relationships with clients or cause the same clients to look
elsewhere for service and for purchasing their next vehicle.
