Sentience Automotive Solutions is an IMI-approved centre that improves the profitability of motor dealers through the development of their people and processes.

Here, it describes how it helped one of its clients improve its profitability by a staggering £100,000!

The inquiry

We partnered with a used car supermarket to develop its understanding of the modern-day customer, their behaviour and how to maximise the profit opportunity within each sale.

Following a one-day dealer health check, we were invited back to roll out the Sentience IP3 programme, in turn exponentially improving its profitability through the development of its people and processes.

We designed a bespoke programme to ensure the used car supermarket was in the best position possible to achieve and outperform its annual budget expectation.

The optimisation of lead generation, conversion rates and margins were imperative to the future success of the business and across our clientele of independent and franchised dealer sites.

One thing that was clear was that it had a wealth of data to draw from, and with our help, it was able to drill down and interpret the data from a different viewpoint and  attain vast levels of success extremely quickly.
