Free webinar June 5 at 2pm EDT provides important best practices that can save dealership dollars, increase service business, and rev up car sales

Daytona Beach, FL–May 24, 2012 – DMEautomotive (DMEa), the science-inspired, results-based automotive marketing leader, announces the second in a series of free webinars that the company is hosting with Automotive News -- all dedicated to increasing service customer loyalty, service revenue, and vehicle sales.  The second webinar in the series focuses on 5 critical best practices for successful business development centers (BDC) and takes place June 5^th at 2pm EDT. 

Titled 5 C-crets to a Successful BDC, the webinar is moderated by Automotive News publisher Peter Brown, and features the expertise of DMEautomotive VBDC Director Wendy Woodard and DMEautomotive CMO Mike Martinez -- as well as in-the-trenches insights from special guests Dan Weibelhaus, Corporate Customer Retention Manager for Suburban Collection and BDC Director of Suburban Chrysler, and Matt Gray, Service Director of Suburban Toyota Scion and Volvo of Troy.

“There was a time when an unanswered customer call in a dealership simply meant they would call back a little later … but today, that call goes to a competitor, and missing even three calls a day can have a sizable impact to your bottom line,” said Woodard. “Five C-crets to a Successful BDC is devoted to encouraging dealers to adopt a few simple strategies and approaches that are often overlooked in their stores, but that can reap major benefits in increased service business, ramping up car sales, and overall customer loyalty – as the real world experiences of our guest dealer speakers will demonstrate.”
