Electronic Appointment Display

Technology provides the dealership with advantages that most manual systems do not. One such example is the ability to electronically display the dealership's confirmed appointment business each day on the showroom floor.

A kiosk or wall-mounted sign placed in the showroom reception area provides a non-confrontational and professional greeting to every showroom guest who has a scheduled appointment. The sales consultant's name appears on the sign as the "host" for their guest. This system quickly becomes a favorite among sales consultants as they benefit through higher closing averages and commissions.

All told, this system provides the acclaim and reinforcement the sales consultants deserve. From a management perspective, the sign indicates the number of confirmed appointments for the day. This is important, since the daily appointment rate should never fall below one confirmed appointment per sales consultant per day.

Thus, this electronic sign provides the management team with a digital, at-a-glance tool indicating the most current performance. Through this system, the confirmed appointments in the Traver BD System Software are electronically downloaded from the BDC computer.

A standard RJ-45 jack and telephone line send the information to the sign in seconds. The equipment is delivered to the dealership, installed and maintained by the OEM, and for a professional appearance, the sign is available with a backlit ad panel, customized with the dealership's logo. The overall impact of this sign cannot be overstated. Properly utilized, it is an incredibly productive component of the business development process.
