AutoFi Master Class is designed exclusively for automotive dealerships looking to significantly boost volume and profitability through digital sales. Hosted by industry expert Joe St. John, the 13-week course will lay out the seismic changes in the industry, before diving deep into how auto dealers can meet the demands of 21st century shoppers.
Attendees will leave with a fresh perspective on automotive digital retail, including specific takeaways to improve site structure, calls to action, branding, and sales empowerment. Special focus is given to help dealers wean off the lead gen model, and to treat website visitors as potential customers looking to transact immediately, online. Today’s consumers who do still want to come into the showroom are high-information shoppers after researching online; they must be approached with a modernized, transparent approach to make the sale.
The goal is to leave the Master Class with a concrete, practical plan for your business to gain customer trust and supercharge online retail sales.
