Service Departments across the country are being flooded with service requests. At the same time, high-performing dealers are leveraging the phone to make sure their customers are provided with best-in-class service that keeps them coming back. This allows Service bays to stay full, and Sales to stay top of mind even when the market changes.<\/p>\n

In this on-demand webinar originally hosted with Automotive News, Scott Skougard of The Sullivan Auto Group \u2013 Lithia Motors will share the strategies and tools he\u2019s seen as most successful in driving long-term success for dealerships. Joined by Car Wars\u2019 Cassie Broemmer, Skougard will uncover how the phone has played into those success strategies, the importance of emphasizing Service during this unusual time for dealers, and best practices for managing the phone and high RO requests in Service.<\/p>\n
