Dear Ag Equipment Dealers,

Dealers and their customer bases are consolidating. New customers with different purchasing patterns are emerging. Progressive Ag equipment dealers must react or risk losing key customers to unnecessary mistakes. 

That’s why it’s so vital to understand how to build good customer relationships. There are fewer customers out there with so many dealer customer bases’ consolidating. And these post-internet customers have a different way of doing their purchasing.

Dealers want good information that will help them build good, long-lasting customer relationships. Investing money into the wrong marketing and advertising can be costly and end up driving away customers if done wrong, rather than brining new ones in. Plus, a good marketing strategy can build on customer relationships you already have and prove your dealership cares about what they want.

That is why we sent Mike Wiles, a veteran dealer, to the Digital Dealer Conference – a marketing strategy conference for auto dealers. He detailed his experiences on building good customer relationships into a special 17-page eGuide download – and we’ve made it absolutely FREE – so that you can have these insightful techniques at your fingertips.
