          Ralph Paglia
          President | Automotive Media Partners, LLC

Ralph will present a combination of dealership case studies, strategy
descriptions, tactical action items and recommended best practices all
focused on providing automotive professionals with the insights and
knowledge to improve the way they grow their teams and business
revenues. The key focus is on people, because all research shows that
in automotive retail, the key limiting constraint, or growth factor is
consistently the people that are attracted to, selected by and become
part of each organization.

Organizational Development for Business
            Growth and Increased Profits

         • Organizational Development is
           the primary and most essential
           stumbling block that many
           dealers and GM’s report as the
           reason for their Internet Sales
           and/or BDC Operation’s failure
           or lack of growth into
           strategically significant levels of
           sales.

Staffing and Organizational Structure Determines
                 Process Execution Capabilities and Monitoring

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
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.
Have a defined process for “closing out” unsold leads

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
Actual OEM Internet Mystery Shop Scoring Index


                  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…
Nothing has more impact on results than
                        phone and/or SMS contact with the
                                                 customer!




Outbound phone calls, ongoing phone and SMS follow-up and
responding to emails requires adequate staffing and skill levels
Telephone Process
• 85% of Web visitors who contact the dealership
before coming into the showroom, use the phone
• Direct Phone contact (after responding to an Internet
lead by email), has the greatest impact on increasing
sales closing ratios

Phone Follow-Up Sales Strategy:
• Focus on having a set of objectives in front of us, each
time we make an email follow-up call
• Word Track Forms (scripts) are used for training and
collecting customer information during each call that is
made immediately after sending personalized email
response

  • 42. 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.
  • 43. 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.
  • 44. 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.
  • 45. Have a defined process for “closing out” unsold leads 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

  5. 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.

  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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!
