CRM Self - Evaluation
1. Take about 15 minutes to complete the “Your Plan” section based on your knowledge. See the following Sample Plan for a guideline. 2. Starting with Prospect Control, go around the dealership starting with the showfloor, BDC, sales office, etc. and find out how each function is being performed today. You might find out that the thank you letters that you thought were going out – were stopped months ago. 3. Based on the input from our sample plan -- add to your “Your Plan” using a different color pen. This is a great way to develop a more complete CRM plan. Are you not doing regular campaigns?
