Talk to Sales: (401) 200-6026
Give your salespeople a car sales mobile app that brings the features of a CRM right to their fingertips
There is quite a bit of talk going around these days about the effects of mobile technology on the auto industry. Not only are people shopping for cars online, but they are also using mobile apps to complete the task.
But car buyers are not the only ones benefiting from these tools; industry professionals can use a car sales mobile app, too. When combined with a dealership-tailored CRM software, these apps makes it easier to manage deals, improve customer service, and organize workflow.
How do you decide which car sales mobile app and CRM software work for your dealership? It all starts on the ground floor: the features intuitively designed for your salespeople.
Give your salespeople the right tools for the job
In today’s world, customers have less patience for traditional car dealerships. Most of their daily tasks are completed using new technology, and they expect the same level of efficiency when purchasing a vehicle.
Your salespeople have similar standards. They want to cut red tape and close more deals. E-lead management, appointments, follow-ups, presentations, test drives, paper signage—all of these tasks should be easier and faster.
Dealerships that utililze mobile apps are accomplishing two main goals:
- Salespeople are equipped to streamline sales processes and organize daily tasks.
- Customers experience minimal steps and improved communication with salespeople.
But not every car sales mobile app is created equal. Most applications are designed with “one size fits all” capabilities, providing only the basic tools salespeople—in the car industry—need to be successful.
Important questions to ask when seeking out dealership mobile apps:
- Does it offer practical, user-friendly, dealership-specific features?
- Can I manage and oversee the daily tasks of salespeople?
- Does the app sync with CRM software and desktop computers?
- Are the features customizable to salespeople’s needs?
- What capabilities does this app offer that others do not?
- Do the developers understand the business processes of a car dealership?
