When you think of businesses with outstanding customer service, it’s highly probable that Chick-fil-a comes to mind. The Food Chain has set themselves apart from their competitors by providing a great product and a spectacular customer experience. As the Auto Industry enters an unfamiliar scene with the introduction of car subscription services, ride sharing, and online buying options, it’s ever more important that dealerships focus on the customer experience.
Steve Stauning, a regular contributor to CBT Automotive network, joins us to talk about an article he recently published in June’s issue of CAR BIZ TODAY, The Chick-Fil-A of Cars Dealers, which has been a popular article on the network.
In this article, Steve brings attention to how some dealership models are under attack as a lot of consumers are eliminating the dealership from the narrative completely.

As he chooses to use the Chick-fil-a to drive home the importance of a great customer experience.
