They can help design plans to keep the customers you have and help you get new ones. They also look at employee retention, since having to train new ones can become costly if you have to do it often. These firms can assess and show where you are weak and develop plans to strengthen them and show where you are working successfully and maintain that success.
The service consultant will train your service department in customer service, showing the importance of it, and how to do it from the time a customer walks into the building to the time they leave. They can teach how to handle complaints and turn them into satisfied, and loyal, returning customers. They can do basic training to advanced customer service techniques, allowing your department to have the tools necessary for an outstanding experience.
They can also teach how to have better quality service through training and help implement a quality assurance system. They can teach the importance of accepting and making reservations and train on how to use the system, which increases the amount of cars being serviced. They will stress the importance of delivery in a timely manner and how this affects the department.
They can show how pricing affects business, and why variable pricing may be good for business. They can give you a flexible workforce through use of second shifts and alternating them so you get every customer possible by being available when they need the service. They can also implement a full Saturday service day to help with this.
They can set short term financial goals if your department is in trouble, and help to make long term service goals so you keep meeting all the financial ones. An employee bonus system can be created to help with turnover and allow higher performance achievement in the department. These two things work together to make your department become, and stay, profitable.
They can also help to implement a better inventory system so you can reduce loss in that area. They can work to get faster shipping and reduced freight costs to you. Not only does this increase profit by reducing the cost of operation, but it also gives your department an edge with customers; they get what they need at affordable prices and fast.
