Hiley Automotive Group, a 14-store dealership based in Fort Worth Texas, got tired of playing the waiting game with their declined services. Because they relied on individual staff members to record, remember and remind customers about services declined in the past, the dealership was constantly losing customers to competitors. A few years ago, Hiley Automotive implemented Xtime Spectrum, which completely changed the game for declined services.
“For the first time, we actually had a game plan,” said Kathy Kelley, business development center manager at Hiley Automotive Group. “Xtime lets us pull declined service reports recorded during multipoint inspections to build targeted outbound campaigns to get customers back in. The system sends emails automatically then queues up outbound calls, including service-specific scripts for our call center representatives.” Now, instead of treating declined services as a loss, Hiley Automotive views them as an opportunity. In fact, since implementing Xtime Spectrum, the dealership is setting approximately 385 declined service appointments per month, returning $96,000 in revenue monthly and winning customers back at a high rate.
