DealerRater’s Director of Dealer Reputation Strategy to Present “Make Your Service Drive Reviews Drive Service” at Digital Dealer 15
Waltham, MA (PRWEB) October 07, 2013 -- DealerRater, the world’s premier car dealer review web site, today announced that Ryan Leslie, DealerRater’s Director of Dealer Reputation Strategy, will share insights on formulating a rock- solid process for collecting and leveraging valuable content from dealer service customers in his session titled “Make Your Service Drive Reviews Drive Service,” Tuesday, October 15, at 1 pm, at the 15th Digital Dealer Convention and Exposition, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“More than ever before consumers are turning to the Web for their vehicle service needs. Recent studies show that online searches for auto repair and maintenance have grown 66 percent in the past three years, and have even surpassed growth in car and truck searches by 8 percent in the past year alone,” said Leslie. “With telling statistics like these, it is essential for today’s dealership to put the service back in the service drive and cultivate service-related reviews that will, in turn, drive more customers to their service drive,” Leslie added.
Workshop attendees will hear first-hand how dealers across the country are employing reputation-leveraging strategies, letting their service customers do the talking to capture the attention of even more customers. They will also learn the five key tips for a successful service review strategy, gained from research and extensive interviews with top tier dealers.
The key takeaway points dealers will learn from attending Leslie’s session are:
• How to apply techniques for adopting a review-based culture at the service drive and ensuring employee buy-in regarding service reviews.
• Specific and proven tips for building real, credible service reviews that stick as well as proven dealer techniques for maintaining and strengthening online brand as it relates to service.
• How to formulate online marketing approaches to promote positive online brand with prospective customers and enable service staff to book more appointments.
• How to apply tested and proven dealer tactics that will enable service customers to be the biggest advertising and marketing component for a dealership’s service drive.
