罗恩·弗雷 wants dealers to start to shift their thinking around digital retailing.
他说,数字零售不仅仅是技术— 这也是过程. He refers to the approach as "现代零售。"
本质上,这个想法是这样的:经销商想出他们想要提供的客户体验。他们改变组织结构,例如通过调整薪酬计划,以实现客户体验。然后,他们选择一种支持该体验的技术工具—而不是插入产品并期望它可以完成所有工作。
Frey告诉我,制定总体战略很重要,因为消费者最终将控制他们如何逐步执行这些步骤。然而,经销商通常仍想定义消费者在网上遵循的步骤和顺序。
Frey, a former CDK Global and AutoNation executive who now advises dealerships, has created what he calls a "现代零售蓝图。"
The blueprint itself is a series of rings, with the customer at the center. It'旨在显示购买过程的流动性并帮助经销商思考他们如何'会收集客户's information as he or she builds a deal. A consumer might start in self-service mode online, for instance, but want to be guided by an employee with a financing question, chatting first by text and later via video.
It'Frey告诉我,这是一个镜头,可以帮助经销商思考他们的整体战略以及他们希望虚拟陈列室体验如何呈现。挑战零售商' inclination to control how customers journey through the purchase steps.
这是一个基准,经销商可以评估技术工具以确定他们是否可以满足客户(无论他或她是否完成了购买步骤)。
弗雷说,经销商必须致力于遵循需要进行的组织变革,以实现他们承诺的成功客户体验。
"其中最难的部分是变更管理部分,"他说。"您'我必须要有这种信念。"
