Document Roles & Responsibilities  for All Internet Sales Positions
* July 2006 Interactive Marketing Budget Document Pay Plan & Bonus Structure  that reflects  taller  Internet sales funnel
Lead Volume puts pressure on response times as a factor of staffing levels!
*Survey Participants who Purchased a Vehicle were identified via RDR data cross reference and matching with Internet Lead Data Staffing and Organizational Structure Determines Process Execution Capabilities and Monitoring #4 #3 #2 #1 Top 4 Ways to Close More Sales to Leads Received 11 27% 17% Make Direct Phone Contact with Customer  (after sending Email w/availability & prices) 9 27% 20% Send Price Quotes by Email to Customer 5 25% 21% Contact Customer more than once by Email  and  Telephone  (within First 24 Hours) 3 24% 21% Make sure Customers are either  Completely  or  Very Satisfied  with the Lead Response Statistical Correlation Factor of Response attribute with Vehicle Purchase % of Purchase* among the Leads who  DID Experience  the attribute Purchase  Respondents*  who  DID NOT  experience the attribute Dealer Response Attributes Experienced by Customers  within 24 hours  of Submitting an Inquiry
Customer goes online  and submits Lead Internet Sales Specialist ISS)  reviews lead, selects 4  vehicles for Price Quotes Sends email with Quotes & Cars   BDC Staff makes initial phone call,  collects customer info, sets up an  appointment for the ISS  If no appointment, ISS Contacts customer and seeks  appointment and/or agreement  Staffing and Organizational Structure Determines Process Execution Capabilities and Monitoring
Lead Process Maps should be indexed to email templates, phone scripts and word tracks so that dealership employees have a “paint by numbers” guide to what is expected when a lead is received. This process map focuses on the first 12 hours after a new lead is received.
Lead Process Maps should contain brief explanations for the logic and execution tips for employees to review before actually using the email templates, phone scripts and word tracks. Actual template illustrations make it easy for dealership employees to recognize the right template or document when they see it in their CRM tool.
When Lead  Process Maps are indexed to correspondingly numbered email templates, phone scripts and word tracks, the dealership is far more likely to execute the repetitious tasks that create customer experiences which correlate with higher sales closing ratios.  The best process maps break down email and phone contact processes into separate flows so that they can be executed by different resources when scaling up lead volumes and organization structures.
Although many car guys will say they believe in the concept of following up until prospects either buy or die… Large scale lead generation through highly effective marketing practices requires that scarce resources be allocated to where they will generate the most sales.  Outsourcing followup on leads that have reached a designated status (dormant) or assigning them to alternate resources such as a BDC will allow ISS’s to stay focused on the 50% of the leads that buy, and do so within the first 10 days Have a defined process for “closing out” unsold leads
LMP Scoring Index Objective Review of Dealership Employee Lead responses encourages consistency and creates a numeric accountability – an LMP Report Card for Dealer or GM review… Actual OEM Internet Mystery Shop Scoring Index
Nothing has more impact on results than phone contact with the customer! Growing Your Internet Staff  from 10 to 300 Cars per Month Outbound phone calls, ongoing phone follow-up and responding to emails requires adequate staffing and skill levels

  • 25. Lead Process Maps should be indexed to email templates, phone scripts and word tracks so that dealership employees have a “paint by numbers” guide to what is expected when a lead is received. This process map focuses on the first 12 hours after a new lead is received.
  • 26. Lead Process Maps should contain brief explanations for the logic and execution tips for employees to review before actually using the email templates, phone scripts and word tracks. Actual template illustrations make it easy for dealership employees to recognize the right template or document when they see it in their CRM tool.
  • 27. When Lead Process Maps are indexed to correspondingly numbered email templates, phone scripts and word tracks, the dealership is far more likely to execute the repetitious tasks that create customer experiences which correlate with higher sales closing ratios. The best process maps break down email and phone contact processes into separate flows so that they can be executed by different resources when scaling up lead volumes and organization structures.
  • 28. Although many car guys will say they believe in the concept of following up until prospects either buy or die… Large scale lead generation through highly effective marketing practices requires that scarce resources be allocated to where they will generate the most sales. Outsourcing followup on leads that have reached a designated status (dormant) or assigning them to alternate resources such as a BDC will allow ISS’s to stay focused on the 50% of the leads that buy, and do so within the first 10 days Have a defined process for “closing out” unsold leads

Notas do Editor

  1. Courtesy Chevrolet sold over 11,000 new and used vehicles in 2006, of which over 4,000 originated from Internet generated leads (electronic and phone).
  2. Average monthly sales total for the combined Internet Sales and BDC teams was 180 vehicles per month…
  3. Split both the BDC and Internet Sales Teams from 2 to 4 managed profit centers, and increased BDC rep’s from 8 to 12, increased ISS’s from 8 to 12… Average monthly sales total for the combined Internet Sales and BDC teams rose to 220 vehicles per month… Added CRM Administration Staff of 2, and moved telephone switchboard receptionists to 2 nd floor and off of the showroom floor. CRM admin staff funded with money previously used for outside vendor’s unsold showroom follow-up USPS direct mail program and newly structured Lead Quality Program that tracks invalid leads and credits for those invalid leads from 3 rd Party Lead Providers.
  4. Added Special eFinance Team to handle online credit applications (720 received in July 2006 with 44 sales generated at $116,000 in gross profits), Added a Courtesy on Bell Road satellite store Internet Sales Manager to handle eLeads and set up appointments for sales staff… The Courtesy Chevrolet CRM/eBusiness Teams combined sales objectives & monthly capacity rose to 360+ CRM/eBusiness Facilitated Vehicle Sales per Month…
  5. Moved both the new vehicle and used vehicle BDC’s into newly constructed hi-tech call center after 6 months of contruction and development, Added a full-time F&I Manager to the eFinance Sales Team, installed 2 additional office cube’s for eFinance so they can contract deals in the eBusiness area of facility… The Courtesy Chevrolet CRM/eBusiness Teams combined sales generation capacity goes to over 445 CRM/eBusiness Facilitated Vehicle Sales per Month…

  7. In order to prevent head count shock when looking at Courtesy Chevrolet’s eBusiness org structure it us important to understand the nature of how the organization and its sales keep growing… The growth mechanism is organic by nature and reflects the typical practices used by the Gruwells to grow the entire dealership’s operations over time. Each team is cultivated and grown to a point where it becomes necessary to slit off another team that specializes in a particular operation, or shares the workload with the origina; team. This is similar to what many service departments do when they organize service advisors and techs inyo various “colored” teams……
  8. Clearly defined job descriptions serve strategic objectives before and after hiring people for each eBusiness position… Providing itemized lists of tasks in detail, along with clearly and objective performance evaluation criteria ensure that all members of the team are focused on the same goals and day to day task completion efforts. For recruiting, a clear job description makes it easier for good people to leave their current situation and know what they are getting into, how they will be both evaluated and paid… Demystify the Internet Sales Specialist job!
  9. Pay plans should be progressive in a manner that creates extra rewards for deals sold at the beginning of the month, based on selling incremental units during the second half of the month. Performance bonuses based on process evaluation metrics should have minimum lead volume qualifiers to ensure that those who take on more leads than others are not penalized for handling extra work load.
  10. Amongst all the attributes of a dealer’s response to an Internet Lead, the time from when a customer submits a lead to when they have received a personalized email message that directly addresses their inquiry consistently shows up as correlating with sales closing ratios… All response content equal, faster dealers will outsell slower dealers. However, Content is still King in that a poor response sent quickly will reduce sales closing rates. It is important to realize that lead response time is a qualifier, an index that determines maximum closing rate upper limits. Once again, it is what the customer experiences, not how or who does it that determines the results.
  11. Lead Management Process is no longer as much an art as it has become a science… Numerous studies that utilize an OEM database matching process which tracks leads and the eventual Retail Delivery Report, then correlates sales for the brand, sales by the original lead receiving dealer, with significantly large volumes of customer submitted survey responses provide a clear and objective analysis of what the customer experiences, the differences in those experiences and their correlation with likelihood of purchasing from the dealer that received the lead. This ability to actually measure what each dealer does with their leads, through the eyes of the customer, and how these activities correspond with a sale, or a lost sale, allow a scientific management approach to Lead Management Process in a manner that absolutely WILL impact sales results from a given volume of leads.
  12. Here is a simplified illustration of what happens at Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix when a new lead is received from a customer requesting a price quote on either a vehicle in stock or one that the customer has configured. Although Courtesy is fairly unique in that a BDC supports each Internet Sales Specialist with telephone follow-up, it is important to understand that this is actually a compromise in the store’s original LMP so as to enable the scalability to handling monthly lead volumes that frequently exceed 6,000 leads in a month, and over 60,000 leads a year… It is important to understand that achieving the customer experiences that impact sales closing ratios in a positive manner is a more important objective than who actually completes the tasks associated with those experiences… The customers are less concerned with who provides them with good service, than they are in actually receiving it!
