DealerSocket executives have been in-demand speakers at the last five Digital Dealer events and Redden's presentation will highlight how top dealers can utilize auto CRM to stay connected with their customers and build lasting relationships.

"Today's consumer demands more than ever. By staying connected to their customers 24/7 in meaningful ways, top dealers are learning how to build lasting relationships," said Matt Redden, DealerSocket Vice President. "Auto dealer CRM should facilitate these relationships. The goal of this session is to give dealers information that they can put to use immediately upon returning to their dealership."

With the rise of the "social customer", today's consumers demand more than just a transaction - they want a relationship. This session will give automotive dealers five ways they can utilize their auto dealer CRM to engage with your customer 24/7 and build solid relationships that go way beyond transactional.

Action items attendees will take back to their dealerships:

  1. Customer communication preferences -- what are you doing to track how your customer wants to be communicated with?
  2. Take it on the road! What is your mobile strategy for customer interactions?
  3. Using your fans and satisfied customers to drive social media status.
  4. Get to know me. Mining your data for hidden gems that open doors to communication.
