Start thinking in minutes instead of hours.
It’s Saturday, and you want to buy a car. Are you, or anyone, still willing to wait four hours to
do it? That’s not likely, even though many dealerships try to force shoppers into traditional
and lengthy sales steps. In fact, that’s the average – but it’s changing, and fast. Mobile has
refashioned expectations to one hour once customers are inside the showroom. Shoppers
have done the work online, perhaps on a mobile device, and now expect that you have the
tools at hand to continue to process and wrap up the transaction in a way that streamlines the
deal, reduces paperwork, and accelerates closure.
Mobile technology has opened the door to fast and total access of information, an advantage
that car shoppers are using to educate themselves and help create an ideal purchase. Today’s
dealerships should also be leveraging the values of mobile to bridge the gap between online
and in-store, and to create that ideal and profitable customer experience.
