The aim should be to maximize the utility of existing technologies before integrating new ones, ensuring these tools align with the dealership's operational goals and improve efficiency and customer experience.Employee Empowerment: It's crucial for automotive businesses to empower their staff to adapt to and embrace technological changes. By involving various departments in the decision-making process and ensuring they understand how to utilize new technologies effectively, businesses can foster a more adaptable and innovative workforce. Employee empowerment is also about having clear champions for each technology, ensuring accountability, and providing ongoing training and support.Humanizing Technology in Customer Service: While technology can streamline processes and enhance efficiency, the human element remains irreplaceable in delivering exceptional customer service. Dealerships should focus on leveraging technology to facilitate more personal, humanized interactions with customers. This can involve using video communications to add a personal touch to digital interactions, ensuring that staff responses are personalized and contextually relevant, and maintaining a focus on creating empowered customer experiences.Connect ?Durran Cage: https://qrcc.me/s9oarb57excu BZ Consultants Group: https://qrco.de/bcqqFo     Apple?️ https://apple.co/3DYjWN0 Spotify ? https://spoti.fi/3DNNgFI   Youtube ▶️ https://bit.ly/3jDwPoO?
