Adapting to Feedback in Dealership Marketing

Shean Kirin has shared an interesting case study that highlights the intricacies of receiving client feedback in dealership marketing. Kirin’s team had developed a tailored system for a particular dealership, but after receiving feedback indicating that it was underperforming, they made comprehensive changes. However, to their surprise, these adjustments led to a 20% decrease in car sales. The team promptly reverted to the original strategy, resulting in an immediate turnaround and a candid confession from the dealership owner.

The owner admitted to using a tactic of critiquing vendors to secure better pricing, believing that constant pressure prevents complacency. This experience underscores an essential lesson in dealership marketing: while client feedback is invaluable, balancing it with proven strategies and expertise is crucial. Kirin’s story illustrates the delicate interplay between client relations, performance evaluation, and the importance of a well-founded marketing strategy.

Therefore, while low-cost management options might seem attractive, they may not provide the necessary level of attention and expertise to truly leverage VLAs. It’s important to consider whether such services can realistically offer the time and expertise needed for a successful campaign. Investing in quality management, even if it costs more, could lead to better results and a higher return on investment in the long run.
