Service Advisor Oct 15, 2007

  • How to say "No" to a difficult customer

    The one word every customer "hates" to hear from a service advisor is "NO". But sometimes, the only appropriate response is "no."   But here is another approach:

     

    Don't actually "say" the word "no" at all. Using this approach, you can say "no" to a customer without causing resentment or worse, losing the customer. 

  • Telephone tips for service advisors
    Having good telephone skills is crucial for service advisors as the call may be the catalyst for additional sales or provide vital information for customers.  
  • The advantages of doing a service vehicle walk-around
    Nearly every dealership service manager these days agrees with the idea of service advisors doing vehicle walk-arounds as a way to improve customer pay work.  Yet a common response from the service advisors who actually have to the walk-around is:  "We just don't have enough time to perform the 'walk-around.' And when we do we think the customer feels we are looking for more repairs just to increase our sales!"
  • The importance of providing world class customer service

    When the service department opens for business in the morning and things start getting hectic, it's easy to forget about an essential element in every business plan: the customers.

     

    Customers are the very reason for being in business in the first place. They are the means to the end of making some money.  In the Internet age, it can be tempting to become too sophisticated and complex with our marketing. The focus shifts to creating innovative menus, slogans and ad campaigns and in developing mission statements, positioning recommendations, brand messages and outside the box processes. Yet the root cause of poor business performance is generally a failure to listen to the customers.
