How can dealerships improve customer’s experiences buying a
new car? Edmunds wanted answers and was willing to pay for great ideas.
Last month, Edmunds.com held their event Hackomotive 2013, a
two-day challenge where teams come up with the best ways to improve the auto
buying experience. The winner takes home a $10,000 prize, second place gets $5,000,
and third place gets $3,000. Additionally all of the teams’ plans are posted on
Edmunds’ Hackomotive website with the expectation that people in the auto
industry will take these suggestions and integrate them into their business
practices.
After reading over the prize-winning ideas, it is clear that
Approved Loan Store should have sent their own team out to the competition. There
was a tie for first place, and both teams suggested matching up individual car
shoppers with a car salesperson based on a set of criteria, much like how
matchmakers set up dates based on shared interests and values.
At Approved Loan Store, we schedule our customers for
one-on-one appointments with a special finance representative who helps them
get into the car they want at terms they can afford. Long before the teams at
Hackomotive were coming up with “Car Cupid” and “eCarmony,” Approved Loan Store
was successfully matchmaking car shoppers with special finance reps, and as our
hundreds of testimonials will attest, we have been extremely successful. The
next time Edmunds is looking for the future in auto sales, perhaps they should
pick up the phone and give Approved Loan Store a call.
