1 Retailer – 1 Team

Bringing together what belongs together

In our many years of work in the automotive sector, we have repeatedly seen that there is a rift between the departments at retailer level (e.g. Sales, After Sales, Marketing). The employees do not see themselves as a large team and subsequently pass this impression on to the customer.
Loss of information between the departments leads to errors or delays in the process, which often cannot be understood by the customer and therefore has a negative impact on customer satisfaction.
The high staff fluctuation in the automotive sector can also be directly related to the lack of loyalty of employees towards their team and company.
