Customer retention is still one of the hottest issues faced by dealerships, as no one likes seeing valuable customers disappear into the arms of a competitor. Whether you have your own contact centre, or require us to contact your customers, our unique approach to the customer journey and use of our bespoke “Konnect” CRM software, we have proven success in improving booking levels. This involves getting new and lapsed customers to return for servicing & MOT’s, as well as improving response times for 1Link and Motability customers.
We fully understand that delivering “Good” customer service is no longer enough, and that your customers all require exceptional Personal Service.
Whether you currently measure your progress by CSI or NPS scores, our exciting new “BOT Technology” – artificial intelligence allows us to request and respond to customer feedback at a fraction of the cost of the traditional “human” contact centre approach.
The dealer groups that we have worked with will attest that through our focus on People, Process & Communications we have assisted them to make their “Good – Better” and their “Better – Best!” resulting in their achievement of Upper Quartile status.

In our area of F&I expertise, the need for high quality, measurable training has never been more important as the industry embraces FCA regulation. However, investing in people simply for compliance sake should not be seen as the only driver. Developing people is about creating a distinctive, positive and tangible customer experience. This is our philosophy and one we believe the winner of this prestigious award will be striving to achieve. Our best wishes to all entrants.
