Enhancing the customer experience across digital and in-person touchpoints through omnichannel strategies, faster processes, and more engaging interactions
In the automotive industry, 86% of consumers prefer to complete at least part of their vehicle purchasing process online. Join Steve as he dives into how car dealerships can enhance customer satisfaction by offering virtual engagement options. These tools help create a seamless and interactive buying experience. Just as people research potential romantic partners thoroughly, they also invest significant effort in researching vehicles online, underscoring the importance of engaging virtual interactions. Effective communication in these online settings, including attentive tone and clear visual cues, is crucial. Utilizing advanced technologies like GPT and AI can further refine how dealerships connect with and assist their customers. By treating online leads with the same level of care and personalization as in-person interactions, dealerships can significantly boost both customer satisfaction and sales performance.
Time kills deals and profit. Despite mass adoption of digital retailing and technology by dealers, it still takes nearly three hours to buy a car. The process is filled with friction, bottlenecks, and back-and-forth interactions. The technology revolution isn’t on your website—it’s in the showroom, where time and money are being left on the table. This session will identify ways to leverage technology in the showroom to optimize decision-making, bridge the trust gap, and speed up the process—all while increasing profitability.
Putting a name to a “view” can be challenging, especially in our data-driven world. But what if you started to personify your data and considered your customer’s touch points on a deeper level?

You’ll gain insights into every digital touchpoint Maggie encountered—from her first introduction to a dealership’s brand online after filling an Amazon shopping cart, all the way to purchasing her new vehicle. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to develop a Media Mix for your dealership using a Lifecycle Marketing approach. Plus, you’ll receive a copy of our newly released White Paper detailing Maggie’s journey.

How to outperform the market on every vehicle with intelligent acquisition, disposition, merchandising, and retailing.
Changing the way you think can be hard business, especially when your experience, your instincts, and your intuition is based on generational knowledge of the car business. But like it or not, our industry and our customers are evolving, modernizing, and have higher expectations than ever. If we don’t change the way we think and the decisions we make, the next generation of the industry may leave behind even the most experienced operators and veteran dealerships.
Danny Zaslavsky took over as General Manager of his family’s independent dealership in 2016 and quickly realized that he couldn’t rely on the same buying, merchandising, and marketing strategies that his father had used to build the business. Acquisition costs, reconditioning, syndication costs, and marketing costs were all outpacing front-end gross and just dropping prices wasn’t enough to significantly impact turn. Danny decided to think differently and committed to finding a way to not just compete in the market – but outperform it by increasing the real and perceived value of every piece of inventory.
Through this journey, Danny sat in every seat and did every job across the dealership. He realigned his people and quickly found and fixed process inefficiencies. When it came to the data and systems that managed the critical functions of buying and selling inventory he realized that having separate systems and databases was an enormous obstacle. This led Danny to completely transform the way he managed inventory, turning to a unified approach and a solution that combined acquisition, merchandising, retailing, and performance into a single system.
Armed with unified data and tools, Danny now has a complete view of the Vehicle Lifecycle where he can prioritize data and insights over intuition – and create strategies that are based on real-time conditions, not luck. This shift was not easy, but the net effective result of transforming his business has delivered more intelligent acquisition decisions, higher value merchandising, and more consistent retailing and exit planning for every vehicle – all generating higher gross and turn.
Join Danny to hear about his story and how he future-proofed his dealership against even the biggest threats to his business. In his session you will learn how to:
