Time Is Ticking on Customer Satisfaction

It highlights that mixed messaging between dealer expectations and buyer experiences can harm satisfaction levels, with surveys indicating that a dealership visit exceeding two hours negatively impacts the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Net Promoter Score (NPS). It advocates for an efficient sales process to increase sales and customer satisfaction, streamline the F&I process, and enhance employee satisfaction.
