This is the day you find out - and leave with a plan to fix it.

 

100+ aftersales leaders | 13 speakers | 1 working day | Copenhagen

The Goal

Profitability

80% of dealer groups expect margins to get harder. The answer is not in the showroom.

The Direction

Aftersales

3–4× more profit per revenue pound than new car sales. The answer is already in your business.

The Activities - What we work on together

Retention

A 10% improvement drives +30% aftersales revenue - straight to the bottom line.

Experience

Why customers leave. How you keep them. Retention fails when the experience fails.

One day. The data, the proof, and the AI to close the gap.
