7. CUSTOMER PULSE PROGRAM – 48 HOURS FOLLOW UP AND LIVE FEEDBACK.
To understand how Customers can drive companies’ growth and profitability Datatrack have introduced an innovative matrix that can be calculated by placing a company’s customers into three categories. Used as a simple but powerful measure of the overall relationship your customers have with you and a leading indicator of growth.
1. Very Satisfied Customer: Promoters of your business or service
2. Satisfied Customers: Neutral, open to advances from other suppliers and competitors.
3. Dissatisfied Customer: Detractors, actively criticising your products and services.
This entire process is call center driven, sending out feedback criteria and soliciting an immediate response. The principal methodology will be to touch your customer base as often as required and to conduct a Pulse check based on the one question to gather valuable customer feedback and insight as to what your customers are thinking and what they want from you as a supplier.
8. TRUCK INDUSTRY PROSPECTING SYSTEM
The principal methodology behind this program will be to touch all your customers on a quarterly basis and to conduct a prospecting question based on asking the question, “Are you in the market to purchase a new or used vehicle in the next three months?”
Yes, or No?
The customer who answers yes or maybe to either new or used is submitted to you and your sales department. A full prospect report is then submitted.
9. ENGAGEMENT, FEEDBACK AND MENTORING
Not only are all the dealer reports and alerts available online, but there are also additional inputs that we offer to achieve profitable outcomes. We help in all three areas of the dealership, sales, service and parts guidance and mentoring assistance. We also align our services with standard operating procedures for the dealership to maximise their profitability, one customer at a time.
The entire Datatrack model is geared around the data we gather from customers and understand that all dealerships and people are different, however like various degrees. By using our model of fine tuning operational procedures and using the information obtained can only help but increase profitability.
