The Great Recession, flat registration numbers and an aging buyer base are a few of the more challenging situations we\u2019ve faced as an industry \u2013 but, thankfully, we\u2019ve been on the upswing for the past two years with steadily growing demand and strong sales numbers for many dealers.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c76a78f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c76a78f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>But, both in our industry \u2013 and outside of it \u2013 there\u2019s a sense of uncertainty as to where the economy is headed next. There\u2019s nothing we can do to change what might be coming &#8211; but, we can take a page from the highs and lows of the last twelve years and make sure your dealership is prepared to handle whatever gets thrown your way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>#1. INSERT YOURSELF FURTHER UP THE FUNNEL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Before the rise of the Internet, dealerships were the single source of information for buyers. You worked with them as they made their purchase decision. Now, more of that pre-purchase research is happening online, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re left out of the process. Buyers are still using you to research, but instead of coming to your physical dealership first, they\u2019re starting\u00a0with your online presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Your challenge \u2013 and how you prepare your dealership for any economic environment \u2013 is to find a way to insert yourself back into the upper funnel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Do this by sharing resources and tools your buyers need throughout their purchase lifecycle and capture their information at the same time.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>You could think about adding live chat or texting to your site, offer demo rides or new rider courses on site, or let buyers value their trade. Another option would be adding a prequalification widget to your inventory detail pages. Having a prequalification widget, specifically, is useful because it gives your buyer a better understanding of their purchasing power, increasing their confidence, while also capturing their contact info and financial situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip: <\/strong>Look for a prequalification widget that\u2019s free and allows for soft pulls, so it doesn\u2019t hurt the buyer\u2019s credit. All of these strategies in this article focus on navigating any economic situation \u2013 and if you\u2019re facing a slow market, being able to generate leads for free can be a great way to save costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>#2. KEEP THE FOCUS ON YOUR DEALERSHIP<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Marketing is a critical part of any well rounded business strategy. It\u2019s how you capture buyer attention and drive them to your dealership \u2013 but, when the economy is slow or your supply of inventory is down, it can be tempting to scale back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>If your competition keeps their marketing going, you\u2019ve basically given them an all access pass to steal your market share. Buyers won\u2019t have the chance to learn about your dealership because you\u2019ve taken your messaging down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Also, having a steady stream of buyers is even more important during economic downturns. So make sure to center your strategy around the platforms and channels you control, specifically your website, social media pages and email marketing channels. This gives you a strong funnel of buyers and keeps you from relying solely on paid media or external advertising sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re looking for is a well-rounded outbound strategy that keeps the conversation focused on your dealership and a strong pipeline of leads, even if you temporarily have to cut back on spending. As you build your strategy, remember buyers always want to see inventory. Use high quality photos and detailed descriptions on every listing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Most buyers also want to see a price \u2013 but if you don\u2019t want to include that on the listing, add a free prequalification widget instead. 7 out of 10 buyers purchase sooner because they\u2019ve been pre approved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip<\/strong>: When picking a prequal widget, make sure you have the option to hide payment and rate information until the buyer is on your lot. That way you can still have that conversation in person.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>#3. PRIORITIZE AGILITY AND SCALABILITY IN YOUR SALES FUNNEL<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Making sales is what drives your business forward. There\u2019s nothing you can do to completely avoid the \u2018hills and valleys\u2019, but you can build an adaptable lead generation strategy that works in any market.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Take the recent inventory shortage, for example. Demand has been outpacing supply, so you may have had more buyers than units to sell, but if your sales team can\u2019t quickly identify the buyers that are most likely to convert, they could end up wasting time just sorting through your inbound leads. On the flip side &#8211; when inventory eventually rebounds and supply potentially outpaces demand, your strategy needs to be more focused on lead generation to capture buyers in your market, and beyond, so your team has plenty of prospects to work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re looking for is a way to maintain a wide reach and a strong pipeline of leads, while also having enough buyer information to segment eliminate unqualified or unmotivated buyers quickly. To make this work, you need more meaningful context on each buyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Giving buyers the option to prequalify from your website, for instance, increases out of state applications by 184%, while also decreases the number of applications without a location by 40%. The reason a tool like this works in any market environment is because, in high demand, low inventory environments: You have the information you need upfront to quickly deprioritize buyers who aren\u2019t actively looking to buy or aren\u2019t able to make the purchase.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>In normal supply, decreased demand environments: You have a wide-reaching pipeline to keep your lead volume up, steadily funneling buyers to your team.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Try to find tools that work with your current DMS. That way, you can keep all your lead information in one place for fast and easy sorting.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><em>As the Product Marketing Manager for Octane, Kensey Edwards works closely with Octane\u2019s product team to launch industry-leading solutions that help powersports dealers.
