Buying your first car or second regardless of the experience its always a process that takes time. Well, people take time to decide on which car model, colour, options they want to buy. Unlike buying a shirt, buying a car is a huge investment.
Adam, is looking to buy a new car, but he can’t really make up his mind on which model to buy. Therefore, Adam decided to call some auto dealerships to ask about 3 or 4 models that peaked his interest. He started asking about horse power, engine model, what other etc options can be added. After 2 weeks or so, Adam has shortened his list between two models. For his second round he created a comparison list between the two. He re-called
one of the auto dealerships to see if the car is still available with the options he wanted, agent answers the phone call by saying, “Hi Adam, I can see that you were looking for the brand and the colours black and white are still available. Do you want me to route your call to one of our experts, to help you with your decision?”. This made Adam feel that he was with a dealership that cared. He didn’t have to repeat the whole process that took two weeks leading up to his decision, which could be quiet frustrating. The call was forwarded to an expert. The agent themselves know the context of the call due to recorded interaction history. The Expert knows Adam’s location via GPS and can recommend to Adam the nearest local dealership.
