How vehicle data can improve sales training and strategic insight in dealerships

Written by Team JATO | 21 September 2023

In today’s competitive automotive market, customers often enter showrooms without a specific brand in mind. Many rely on dealerships and sales reps to help them compare vehicles and make informed purchasing decisions. As a result, being able to provide useful information and a supportive service can influence sales outcomes.

 

JATO’s Carspecs API is a solution that enables dealerships to directly compare vehicles from more than 50 brands. Seamlessly integrated into any dealer app, it pulls the most up-to-date data to quickly share key competitors, price points and full specifications of any vehicle.

 

It can be used both before and during sales conversations to help you improve your internal training (particularly of new staff) and your processes, and fundamentally, increase customer satisfaction.

 

Streamline preparation for sales meetings

Having up-to-date information readily available offers a time-saving advantage when you have an upcoming appointment with a customer. Carspecs API can make competitor and market research more efficient by identifying similar vehicles, differentiators, key advantages, and cost comparisons.

 

While some customers might only be interested in one car, others may be considering several options. JATO data makes it easier to have broad market oversight, boosting your expertise during sales conversations. The “Showroom” feature allows for a detailed spec-by-spec comparison, providing customers with transparent and unbiased information to aid their choices.

By accessing this information instantly, you can confidently highlight the strengths of your brand’s vehicles, providing customers with a compelling reason to choose you.
