Developing Standards

I am committed to never say a number is bad without providing processes to improve it. It amazes me that when people are trained on ways to improve and want to how quickly the result goes to the next level. You must develop standards for your company and measure them against historical performance. Then compare your actual results against industry standards. It won't take long and your areas of needed improvement will show themselves. Whatever numbers you find need to improve create a new standard or goal to reach for. Ask yourself what is the best process your team can implement that will assure the result. Now start your journey to the next level and don't look back except to reflect and learn. Always invest in training and take time to learn best practices for your dealership and customers. Someone else might even have a better way to take care of the customer and be willing to share.

Greetings!

Good managers and employees are always seeking new ways to improve their performance to the next level. This month we look at a few ways to do exactly that!


  • Refuse To Compromise
  • The growth and success of companies and individuals is largely dependent on simply refusing to compromise. We don't have to look very far to find examples such as Tiger Woods to understand how destructive compromise is to our lives. You might understand that customer care at your dealership is maximized when walk around inspections are performed. However it is really cold today and we don't have a drive through inspection area. Maybe when it gets warm we will start up again. The compromise has begun to remove your process. Determination to be the best at anything requires us to look beyond the discomfort of the day and focus like a laser instead on what is needed. If you only do walk around inspections when you have time and the weather is nice it won't be long until none are performed. If you believe customer follow up after the visit will improve satisfaction yet have no process for it guess what will never happen. A telephone call from an advisor the day before the appointment with a quick contact call is wonderful and improves Technician efficacies and builds value and loyalty. Yet we compromise because of whatever excuse is available to you today. If you desire to go to the next level you must refuse to compromise. Challenge yourself to always look for the best customer care processes and never excuse not performing it.
