Running an independent dealership takes more than it looks. After finding the right location, right employees, and right vehicles, dealership owners have a lot more to consider. Some of these things include keeping the dealership’s website up to date, staying on top of inventory and managing it all, and keeping in contact with all the customers.

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that owners of an independent dealership have a lot on their plate. Trying to juggle all of the listed responsibilities can be a lot to handle, which is why having a customer relationship management (CRM) system in your dealership is crucial for business.

Benefits of a CRM

High-Quality Customer Service 

For any dealership, and any business for that matter, the customer base is important. Building meaningful relationships with your customers takes a high level of intention and strategy. That’s where a CRM comes in. With a CRM system in the dealership, your salespeople will have the right information and data to connect on a personal level with your customers because each experience will be customized for each customer’s individual needs and preferences. This also gives the salesperson seamless communication with the customer, helping them build quality relationships and lead your dealership to more business.

Organized Information and Leads 

Independent dealerships interact with customers and prospects every day, and it may be hard to manage and follow up with leads. These issues can hinder your dealership from securing more business. With a CRM, your sales team will be able to capture, organize, and structure new leads as they enter your database. When all the information is where it’s supposed to be, they can then inform potential customers with valuable content as they navigate through your sales process.

Streamline the Car Buying Process 

A CRM can help your dealership convert stronger leads in a smoother manner. It does this by keeping customers engaged during every step of the car buying process, whether they’re looking at your social media, checking out your website, emailing you with inquiries, or looking at your showroom and lot.

Improve Your Team Collaboration 

A CRM allows you to enter all customer information like conversations, make and model preferences, desired monthly payment, etc., into a single system. This promotes seamless collaboration throughout your team, allowing them to share ideas and information about customers while keeping a centralized track record of past communications.
