The New BDC: Best Practices to Capture and Upsell Service Business
Like almost everything else over the last two years, the way a dealership runs its BDCs has been dramatically altered by the effects of the pandemic, inventory shortages, and digital retailing. While it used to be enough to just think of this hub as a “call center”, forward-thinking General Managers are now empowering the BDC agents themselves to take the customer through the complete process and pricing toward a final sale. In this dynamic session, Quantum5’s Sarah Vantine, along with Elizabeth Martin from Scott Clark Auto Group, will take customers through the steps Elizabeth Martin used to improve retention and continue to build value for customers to build explosive profits in their service department.
Key Takeaways:
- Enabling multi-channel communications to perform for optimum success
- Step by step instructions on how to adjust processes to best fit the customer’s needs
- Strategies to engage and retain your best performing Service BDC professionals
