MAX Digital’s Senior VP of Strategy and Innovation, Patrick McMullen, led one of these educational sessions. McMullen’s session addressed how dealerships could turn their sales staff into product experts.

The average auto shopper does 14 hours of online research before he or she stops by your dealership. These customers often come in knowing more about the car they’re looking to buy than your sales team. Not able to defend the pricing, these salespeople often need to drop the price to make the sale.

McMullen showed how dealerships can prepare their sales team to become experts on every car on the lot. By having the information to respond to every concern, your sales staff can build trust with customers and protect your profit margins.
