Designing an experience that makes an impression
I recently purchased a new vehicle—an experience many people view as complicated, expensive, and time-consuming, with awkward negotiations and endless amounts of paperwork. This time around wasn’t much different, apart from what took place after my purchase. Picture this: I bought my new car on a Friday afternoon. On Monday morning, the manager of the service department called me to schedule my first service appointment in six months. The call stopped me in my tracks. Scheduling service on a brand-new car was the last thing on my mind, but the manager gave me a list of available days and offered me a loaner car. I confirmed the appointment, and in a few minutes, I was back to my Monday morning.
The manager’s call was a simple and meaningful gesture – a first-of-its kind moment - and I felt appreciated, important, that my time mattered and my business was valued. It was clever on their part as there's another dealer located a bit closer to my house. Armed with the advantage of data, the dealership artfully designed a simple human interaction and secured my service for the life of the car. If every customer made the same convenient choice I did, I estimate the dealer would secure millions of service dollars by designing that experience.
