Smart Customer Service

Everyone is watching the bottom line more closely than everthese days, but it's always good to remember that a little kindness can pay off in a big way.http://www.fastcompany.com/1696663/why-is-it-so-hard-to-be-kindSo which dealer would you be in that situation?

Kim the best product or service is honesty & options, in service rather than being sold on one item, provide options, today funds are tight, suggest the best product or option or one a bit less expensive to save them a few bucks, most of the time they will pick the better one, but by suggesting an option your on thier side rather than getting thier last buck. ex buy the premium pads and generic rotors. bad pads squeel rotors dont. etc. Sell as you would shop, get and give the best value to your customer base and you will solidify your foundation of customers.Track your customers when thier last service was and follow up with reminders with a phone call and not a postcard.
