AUTOMOTIVE RETAIL

'OPEN SHOP' PROGRAMME

Working with Independant Dealer Groups, and Manufacturers to ensure upto date Covid-19 Compliance and Sales Optimisation.

To schedule a free consultation, please contact us.

As the lockdown begins to lift, sales departments return to a new way of working. Business leaders are presented with two serious questions. We test your Covid-19 protocols on your sites to ensure your sales teams and external contractors are not putting the colleagues or customers at risk. 

1.

Are all of our employees observing the plans our business has put in place? Are our own staff and contractors safe, and do our customers feel safe when they visit one of our facilities?

2.

With reductions in showroom footfall, are our sales teams maximising every single enquiry and doing all they can to convert them into sales?
