Our Services

Exceptional communication skills are the frontline for dealerships. Your team's ability to connect, build rapport, and effectively convert phone inquiries into showroom visits is critical to driving sales and building customer relationships.Helping sales, service, parts and reception succeed!

Phone Skills Training

Salespeople must build trust fast, answer questions clearly, and confidently invite the customer to take the next step—usually setting the appointment. Every call should feel personal, professional, and purposeful. Our phone training ensures your team has the skills, structure, and confidence to make that happen on every call.

 

More than just role-plays. Your team gets a dedicated Performance Manager who leads regular coaching sessions focused on lead response. They're not just phone pros—they’re experts in effective communication across phone, email, and text. If you are looking to transform the client experience, click to learn more.

Multi-Channel Engagement Assessments

Most dealerships only connect with 30% of the people who inquire. That means 7 out of 10 leads vanish without anyone noticing. Multi-Channel Assessments identify where engagement breaks down across phone, email, text, and web so you can fix missed connections, inconsistent messaging, and slow responses before they cost you sales.

 

The good news is that these missed opportunities can be recaptured by implementing a comprehensive engagement audit that monitors all customer touchpoints—phone, email, text and web forms, dealers can identify exactly where customers are falling through the cracks.

Testimonial

"There's been a huge uptick in both appointments and phone-up deals. The staff's attitude has significantly improved, and if someone messes up, the team steps in to help. We've seen our appointment-to-sale ratio increase from around 50% to nearly 80%. Over the past seven months, we've achieved record new car sales, becoming the number one Honda dealership in Cleveland. The training has been crucial, especially while operating out of a temporary building during our transition to a new store. It proves that success comes down to the people, processes, and attitude, not just the facility."
