BROADCAST TIME: Watch on catch-up, now.

Now that showrooms in England have reopened, in this Auto Retail Live webinar we investigate how best to get customers to start buying cars again, how to ramp up the sales process and what the early pinch-points have been plus how to solve them.

This webinar’s panel includes; Paul Hendy from Hendy group, Stuart Buckley from Calltracks and Pontus Riska from Rapid RTC.

Showrooms may be open, but we are still facing unprecedented challenges, so it’s vital to come out as strong as possible. With this webinar we aim to help you achieve this.

Key topics for discussion include:

• How a leading retailer is managing his business
• How the market is performing
• How best to get the message to your customers
• What sort of message should you be delivering
• What are the early pinch-points – both in the physical showroom and in the (sales) process of getting people back in
• New, used and aftersales differences
