Dealer Report Cards
Announcing Dealer Report Cards Coming Soon
Imagine you are a prospect for your product at your store. As that customer, not only are you going to search for dealer reviews but you will search for the source and relevance of those reviews. Would you believe a neutral 3rd party with a commitment to community approach or something served up from everywhere that seemed machine like? Oh and pay particular attention to when those reviews were posted. Do the ones that were posted over 5 years ago appear relevant? Is that individual still employed at your store?
Well then,
Do you prefer car dealer reviews from previous customers or just anyone with an internet connection? Maybe the prospect that actually had some problems at your store but left without anyone in management or executive management even knowing. Do employees bring every situation and customer interaction to management’s attention? Don’t answer that. Simply remember where you read it. Please understand, you need to know that your current customers are completely satisfied or their not. You also need to know when and how to protect employees against malicious attacks on their reputation too. Aren’t they your largest investment? Could you do that by being pro-active and having the entire story shown as a thread in a review exchange? When it is good, thank the customer. When it is bad, thank the customer, but confirm it and respond. Then the customer will say thank you or you, (the dealer) can explain why it is not correct so future car shoppers have a chance to investigate. Now you are giving them a higher chance to understand and they may allow you to call them a prospect.
Dealer Report Cards refer to this as “honest exchange’. Good, bad or indifferent, automotive reviews from your customers.
